Re: School perverts only looked at kid undressing 42 times

sick fucks ought to get serious prison time if ANY nudity was involved
They should anyway, either way. They could have just used torrent to download their kiddie porn, but I guess that's not good enough for them, obviously.
Maybe they were worried about 'copyright' issues on torrent, heh.
But seriously - people need to flood them with FOIA requests for the videos.
After all the BS surrounding the iPhone, it really doesn't matter how many feature a phone has; let me make it clear here - for some of us..
I do not have the time to play stupid games with stupid little devices like that.
I have more to do with my time than deal with apps that uninstall themselves (iPhone) and potential loss of service over various lawsuits (blackberry).
"Just give me a simple phone that works as it should and I'll be on my way" - is 100% my attitude on it now. At first, I was into the frills then the Blackberry fiasco came up right when it could have potentially impacted my job significantly - not that I would have personally caught hell for it, but if service was lost, it would have made my life hell at the time.
So - along with that, I don't want to start using and depending on some app that a company could just yank off the phone - whenever. Intentionally or by Mistake.
Re: Re: since when did atheletes start handing over their names to the IOC for trademark purposes?
I think if I owned the goggle company, I'd have some smart @$$ remark like "See... Our products are so good that top atheletes use our products even when we dont pay them to!" That's the best advertising yet!!i
Yeah, sharp idea... :)
Heck, even if they get sued, it's mass publicity... or maybe that was the intention from the start, huh? That's pretty cynical of me, but...
and then making that info public -- was a privacy mistake, but is it worth a class action lawsuit?
Yes, any company that takes upon itself to hold your 'personal information' in their databases - that screws up with it, should pay and pay good.
If they don't want that risk, then keep personal information out of their databases. It's their choice, so it's their responsibility to bear - just like a bank or a doctor's office.
I hope they get slammed good - sorry, but there's a measure of responsibility that goes with 'trust' of personal information of users. Even if it's somewhat insignificant.
Up yours Warner, then I'll wait longer to watch it on a RedBoxDVD, I'm patient.
But that's only because I don't care to torrent movies.
And yes, with David 100% - I can only think of maybe one or two movies in my entire life that I've bought without seeing first. So if I never see it, there's pretty much zero chance I'll buy it.

But this should serve as a GOOD example to something many have said, and I agree with 100%.
Don't trust the Government with too much power. Period. Even the 'smaller' portions of it.

Nor is the entertainment industry getting cash from me on *their terms* a god given right either.
Actually the last 4 movies I bought were all made prior to 1995 anyway. Most of this 'junk' out now, I just can't stand.
I'm just glad they made SO MUCH stuff even prior to the mid-90's, there's so much to buy still..
