My memories of Nova Scotia are from the early '60s. Along with the usual 
scenery  it was my introduction to candlepins. I bowled fairly regularly 
at the time but wasn't ready for little bitty balls and skinny little 
pins. iirc it was in the Halifax Mall, a must see for my mother. The 
closest we had was what would now be called a strip mall.

Oddly prophetic:

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Space_Merchants>

    The Space Merchants is a 1952 science fiction novel by
    American writers Frederik Pohl and Cyril M. Kornbluth.
    Originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine as a
    serial entitled Gravy Planet, the novel was first published as
    a single volume in 1953, and has sold heavily since. It deals
    satirically with a hyper-developed consumerism, seen through
    the eyes of an advertising executive.

    In a vastly overpopulated world, businesses have taken the
    place of governments and now hold political power. States
    exist merely to ensure the survival of huge trans-national
    corporations. Advertising has become hugely aggressive and by
    far the best-paid profession. Through advertising, the public
    is constantly deluded into thinking that the quality of life
    is improved by all the products placed on the market. Some of
    the products contain addictive substances designed to make
    consumers dependent on them.  However, the most basic elements
    of life are incredibly scarce, including water and fuel.
    Personal transport may be pedal powered, with rickshaw rides
    being considered a luxury. The planet Venus has just been
    visited and judged fit for human settlement, despite its
    inhospitable surface and climate; the colonists would have to
    endure a harsh climate for many generations until the planet
    could be terraformed.

Hmmmm, Elon wants to go to Mars.....

Re the conversation about Amazon, the oddly prophetic (series 0f) novels 
is Mick Farren's 'the Quest of the DNA cowboys'.

The world is supplied entirely with whatever it wants by Stuff Central. 
Just dial up and order it. Up to a complete world conquering Army.

However something  is happening. Bits of the world are disappearing, 
huge tracts of land and cities are now simply not there..The Nothings.

It turns out that Stuff central creates Stuff out of material reality, 
leaving the Nothings behind...

In sorting out some old book yesterday I started reading 'Buddhism: The 
Religion of analysis'. Written in 1966 the author talks about the 
difficulty of dealing with the cultural differences of the consumer driven 
West chasing after 'success' and the more laid back East. I'm not sure 
that is the case 60 years later.

	Read Alan Watts's books if you can find them or afford the prices at the
foundation setup apparently to minimize exposure to his ideas.
	I was lucky because i got to listen to his lectures on the radio here in
San Francisco back in the 1960s and maybe into the 1970s. I got to buy
his books in paperback at a reasonable price.

	The time was different then when i wa in my late 20s and early 30s.
Mainly because I was younger and more foolish then but very resilient.

I thought I had 'The Way of Zen' but a quick scan didn't find it. However 
my books aren't very organized. D.T. Suzuki was one of the other popular 
authors. It could get strange around the edges with Christmas Humphrey's 
influence,

I did find Burtt's 'The Teachings of the Compassionate Buddha', which was 
another source in the '50s. The depressing part is the price on the cover 
-- 60 cents.

Interesting that you couldn’t get things like region-free disc players in 
a regular retail store.

In normal countries, we have consumer-protection laws that see things like 
region-locking as a manufacturing defect that needs to be fixed under 
warranty, not an acceptable feature in a product that is supposed to be 
fit for purpose.

It's a long time since I bought a DVD reader. But at that time, the
regular seller needed to do something on the DVD reader to unlock the
limitation. He just asked me if I wanted him to do it and it was done.
But, by default, I would have a limited DVD reader. Maybe I could have
done it by myself: I don't know. But it wasn't by done default.

There are different things. What the law says, how it is applied, what
the default sold product is, etc. The fact that the law tells you can do
something doesn't mean it's applied by default.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!  What a clown!

For a computer interface, one cannot purchase a DVD reader alone.  It must
also be a DVD/CD writer (and currently also BDR. i.e. blu-ray).

On GNU/Linux, there has always been libdvdcss to unlock region codes:

https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html

Your knowledge of GNU/Linux is severely limited.

But then you will withdraw into your standard argument that CD/DVD/BDR
is no longer relevant in the "modern" world.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!  What a total clown!

Uh, wasn't the region lock nowadays (read: possibly the past two
decades?) handled by the *firmware*? Similar to why earlier drives would
give you scrambled output without "authenticating" with the CSS keys,
but newer ones give I/O errors? So libdvdcss would do nothing other than
let you play CSS-scrambled discs from the region the firmware is
currently set to accept.

Libdvdcss cracks the encryption (when present) by brute force in
software. In my experience that can take a while, although I think
there's some caching ability for next time you play the same disc
(though I rip such discs so I don't have to bother with it again).
I think I also had it fail once but that might have been a
scratched disc. Generally I still try to avoid DVDs from other
regions, although DVDs marked Region 2 only are often really Region
2/4 so play fine here in Aus.

I guess it would only be criminal if decoding the data was an
offence, and a region-free drive/player would do that without
Libdvdcss, so no more criminal than using one of those. Or maybe
it depends on what's considered "circumventing" restrictions.

I like to paraphrase out loud the unskippable "WARNING" legal
disclaimers they put before DVDs here about places that home DVDs
aren't allowed to be screened (come on, how big is the oil rig
workers' entertainment market really anyway?). "Warning: You are
watching a DVD! Don't you know you could be fined thousands of
dollars for watching this DVD? You could go for prison for
watching this DVD! Jesus Christ what are you doing? STOP!!!"

One of the local groups had a fund raiser where they screened Michael 
Moore's 'Bowling for Columbine'. There wasn't an admission charge but they 
hoped for contributions. Free is good and I was curious about the film. I 
chuckled when they fired up the DVD with the warning that what they were 
doing was not legal. I was not inspired to make a contribution.

Those piracy warnings make me want to run up the Jolly Roger but tbh I'm 
too lazy to bother. Netflix DVDs or streaming after they dropped the DVDs 
is easier.

Its a fine point when you buy a second hand DVD but want to rip it onto 
a hard disc so its instantly available.

Any commercial lawsuit would fail, because there was no intent to 
deprive anyone of cash.

The lobbyists obviously aren't doing their job.

	Yes they are doing their jobs whichis to keep IP protections payng the 
companies
that hire them.

	They can be very diligent about the copyright rules that make a lot of 
seeminglyharmless private activities of moving IP from CDs to computers 
illegal. I happen
to own copies of what I have on my computer so it should concern no one 
if I listen to
my .wavs of my albums or turn a anime DVD into a playable disk on my 
computer.

	But it would if I w as making money or giving away my digitized anme.

Yeah, the checks written to the politicians' reelection funds and the 
balances thereof. It's getting amusing.
