    Hey Baron, this site is like NEW....

    I wouldn't disagree with anything you've said. I would only say that the number of problematic users will obviously increase as the number of registered members increases.

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    Napster was a peer-to-peer network. YouTube is not. Therefore, Napster is not an analogy on any level. When you downloaded a song using napster, you also became a host for other users to download that same content from. Their software was not just a tool for you to download songs, but it was a...

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    What about the person who actually captured the clip off their TV to begin with? And then put it on their computer? And then converted and compressed it for web viewing? And then uploaded it to YouTube and other services knowing that these services expressly say not to upload copyrighted...

    What's the highest number of active current users on ET?

    I didn't follow it all that closely to see if today was number two. We are alerted only when it reaches a new high.

    Hey Baron, this site is like NEW....

    Perhaps your expectations of the general public, and particularly the trading public, are too high. I don't see anything different going on here, language or otherwise, that is any different than any trading floor in the country. If you get a large group of cocky, opinionated male traders...

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    That was a good link, and it explains the issue about as good as any I've seen. I really liked the hotel analogy.

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    Actually, they're not. As I stated in my first post, the U.S. Congress already covered all this back 1996. The law clearly states that interactive services are provided IMMUNITY by the Congress with regards to content posted to their service by users. Think about this for a second. Aside...

    Viacom sues Google for $1 billion

    That suit will never fly. Google will prevail only because the United States Congress already passed legislation about all this back in 1996, which said that users of an interactive service are solely responsible for what they post, not the service itself. And I would argue that there are more...

    What's the highest number of active current users on ET?

    I was thinking the same thing as I was reading your post. When the ET Active Member Indicator starts topping out, there's blood in the streets!! :D

    What's the highest number of active current users on ET?

    Actually, it was on February 27, 2007, the day the DOW tanked 400+.

    Where do we live?

    The order of the countries is about right except for the Hungary entry. But the last time I checked, about 67% of our visitors are from the U.S.

    A way to ignore a whole thread?

    No. The option to ignore a particular thread doesn't exist.

    Frontrunner Stokes get nailed by Feds. Crime doesnt Pay (ahem)

    I'm sure that guy's trade size is what tipped them off. If he made profits of $2.7 million, he was doing some pretty serious size to get that much money in the course of just a month.

    Fl. real estate, anybody have any experience?

    I own property in Florida and I'm almost positive that the spike in outflows of residents was due in large part to the destruction from 4 major hurricanes the year before. Those events spooked a lot of people but they'll return at some point. With the number of baby boomers increasing, I...
