Actually there is a further way to get the original uploaded movie file in  
various formats that it was uploaded in.

True, but good enough for collecting rare stuff. The quality can be adjusted  
higher than the original content if your accessing your video and audio  
drivers from DVDx.

All the groups but philosophy have something to do with music. I normally  
post from philosophy. 
 
What do you mean by evil? Is that something you say when you can't think of  
anything else? Is it religious or just the equivalent to bad? Can you  
describe a standard of this "evil" that we can agree to? 
 
The Problem of the Criterion 
 
A general argument against the invocation of any standard for knowledge has  
come to be known as "the problem of the criterion." As we have just seen,  
there have been disputes about standards of knowledge. Some are about  
particular kinds of arguments that provide evidence for knowledge claims. As  
we will see shortly, others are about the degree of evidential support or  
reliability required for knowledge. The Pyrrhonian skeptics used an argument  
designed to instill doubt that any such standard can be established. 
 
Suppose there is a dispute about a standard of knowledge. If the dispute is  
to be settled rationally, there must be some means for settling it. It would  
do no good of each side simply to assert its position without argument. So  
how would a standard of knowledge (or "criterion of truth," in the language  
of the Stoics) be defended? It could only be defended by reference to some  
standard or other. If the standard under dispute is invoked, then the  
question has been begged. If another standard is appealed to, the question  
arises again, to be answered either by circular reasoning or by appeal to  
yet another standard. So either the process of invoking standards does not  
terminate, or it ends in circular reasoning, and in neither case would the  
dispute be settled rationally. 
 
Lehrer takes on the problem of criterion in the guise of the question  
whether he can justify his acceptance of his own theory of justification. He  
rejects the appeal to a higher-order theory of justification as well as  
dogmatic acceptance of the theory (p. 228). This leaves only circularity, or  
a "loop" of justification. Lehrer defends the loop of justification as being  
virtuous.

All the groups have something to do with music except my main hang out in  
philosophy.

What about the others who decide not to post a real name? Are you saying  
they should be condemned? Please amplify this ethical standard to better  
persuade us.
