The main problem is two fold in that they don't consider metadata to be protected by the Fourth Amendment and second is that the FISA Court is one for rubbing stamping the inclusion of everyone.
This extra server would also not be there to limit their access to data. This would be not unlike how MegaUpload handled the media cartels of full access to delete whatever they wanted. No delete on Facebook (normally) but indeed full access to rip metadata and details of connections. Facebook can then get on to business while ignoring this Governmental "rape box"
All I read about this is damage control. Such claims of having the NSA root though all their data can be economically very damaging for the tech companies involved.
The US Administration likes to have a plan for every eventually so here they are running their mandated damage avoidance plan in a scheme that is extremely carefully worded to remain legally truthful without revealing anything about the real truth.
You may notice that nowhere in their denial do they demand that the FBI/NSA should explain themselves. So just imagine the worst option possible and remain extremely skeptical.

Remember that Congress passed a law in about 2008 which grants all these companies immunity from prosecution by their users for "breaking the law" with the US Administration.
Re: Skills To Get The Job Differ From Skills To Successfully Perform
Well had I been President the US Administration would soon get butchered under abuse the law and lose your job. Maybe even violate the US Constitution or Bill of Rights in a serious way and get exiled.
Like in this case I would be so "I don't care shit about your technicalities when you DON'T SPY ON ALL PEOPLE".
Still the FBI/CIA could just deal with me like they did with JFK.
Repeal the Patriot Act and disband the NSA of course.
The Government only then needs to do two things. Keep a close eye on known terrorist groups then have a hotline where people can report anything suspicious that can be investigated.
Not only to repent but also to forgive others. We have not seen much of John Steele in a forgiving mood. Hey so you touched our stuff, no problem, hope you enjoyed.
Let me clarify then. So after Prenda have subpoenaed the ISPs for discovery of subscriber details they contact them with settlement demands saying "You infringed the copyright owned by Ingenuity 13 (a Prenda shell)"
The problem is on seeding the torrents themselves this is a lie when the download/upload was not infringing. So letters are a lie and a fraud upon both the Court and on the subscribers and what they should go to prison for.
This only applies to these stated more recent torrents but more could be included later. So yes people could demand a refund on any settlement because they were lied to when they don't charge for what they are giving away.
Should the Court conclude that Prenda did seed these torrents creating authorized distributions then people could indeed demand a refund.
Any Court orders against them would also be revoked either by default or on a fresh appeal. Such people could also claim damages and costs.
They may even want to go as far as a class action lawsuit but in this case it should be easy enough to handle it themselves with a little Internet help including default template letters.
Best people strike early when John Steele and friends will soon be bankrupt.
Their bigger problem is RICO which could well land them in prison for many years. An IRS audit should hopefully track down all payments and hidden money.
Should the IP address turn up as owned by John Steele then it seems without doubt that he has been running a honey pot trap with the aid of his friends.
I pondered his response and what will he say open WIFI or hacked? But how can he say this when how could sharkmp4 the cause of these infringements have known John Steele's own IP address? The odds are rare.
Even if possible how could Prenda be aware of these new torrents and begin infringement tracking within minutes of an announcement?
I am quite sure people get convicted on less evidence than this where Prenda are known liars.
I was always wondering about those uploads when all from the same user does smell like a honey pot trap. Beyond the IP though there was no other proof until now where if you do accuse someone of a crime then you do need solid proof.
Good job Delvan Neville for finding that solid proof when Ingenuity 13 were sure involved in these movie uploads. Then to have John Steele admit to this is the final nail in his coffin.
Authorized uploads means non-infringing downloads. To then accuse people of infringement then seals the honey pot where a clear case of fraud it is.
The only remaining mystery is why the Police have not yet arrested John Steele and friends and carted them off in handcuff when that is what should happen.
At least the RICO investigation will be over the Moon today when here is proof of organized crime.
The cartoon that Mark Bridger viewed is lawful under UK law because all animated porn is a victimless event no matter how extreme. So they are asking Google (our local web masochist) to censor something that is lawful.
Now had you believed they should censor such lawful porn then this case goes much further. Due to the rare risk of such porn popping up somewhere they insist that ALL lawful porn should be censored also. All porn, all sites, gone.
Well almost when they say if people want to watch such standard lawful porn they first have to register for it. So these people have no honourable intentions when it is only an attempt at mass porn censorship.
All services do take strong action against unlawful porn once informed when that is the law. Google though host no media when it is only links and why they always go beyond the law into masochistic censorship.
Well these figures are different from past figures I have seen from gross market income figures such as from iTunes, Spotify, Amazon sales and such, which then said RIAA labels got about 47% of sales while the independents got 53%. I am sure that difference is even wider by now.
These results are the same though in that the RIAA labels are smaller, indie musicians are booming, where in general the music market is very healthy.
The RIAA labels did hit the perfect storm in their earlier refusal to go digital, DRM etc, then huge indie competition who could record their own album starting from $200.
Keep in mind that the RIAA labels dropping from 880 to 190 bands was often a bloodbath of self interest. Labels closed, contracts terminated, copyrights sold on to other labels often under UMG. Now the music could be sold without having to pay the musicians anything when they now had no rights by copyright or by contract.
Life is not so bad for RIAA labels now where there is less risk in musicians who become indie famous first. They are often still the gateway keepers to TV and Radio.
I am also sure many musicians still dream to be the next Lady Gaga and to be handed a million dollar recording contract. Just a shame such fame comes built on much trickery and blood.
I am actually pro-EU myself when I understand the aspects.
I would believe though the day the UK Government actually hold a referendum that they would be pretty damned desperate and at the end of the line.
I would also believe the voters would have so much contempt for Government referendum delays that they would vote simply to cause the Government some pain. You have feared us for years so truly fear us now.
This is just a joke when the UK Government will never do a referendum on the EU. We have already been owed one for decades on if we should be in the EU and things like the Euro.
They never ask the public when they just don't want to hear the answer. Government after Government on both sides just barge on into Europe regardless.
This is nothing new when to say around 2017 means into the next Government where the entire rulebook changes and long enough for people to forget about their referendum agreement now. By 2017 they will say sure a referendum around 2021.
All this is about is the main parties trying to minimise losing voters to the UKIP in the next election. So they are simply lying to people as they have always done. Had they been serious then within 2 years and already printing the forms they would do.
