I am surprised that the DOJ still has enough shame to not want to do this dirty deed in the light of day. I thought that all parts of the government had gotten past that point and were unafraid to do anything, no matter how despicable, in full public view.
While the DOJ wants to turn the New Zealand court into a circus, it seems they don't want it to be a circus open to public view.
Apparently, the EU Commission thinks that copyright should be a tool to punish innovation and to reward those who have refused to innovate.
Isn't the EU right about this? That seems to be exactly what copyright is for.
Hasn't the business model of copyright owning gatekeepers always been to do nothing, keeping the money rolling in from copyright, while giving the talented people little to nothing? Keep the legislative machine greased with money. Erect as many troll gates as possible. Collect fees and royalties on things one has no actual copyright ownership of. Suppress any innovation that might be perceived as a threat -- even if it actually turns out to be the next big money stream for the copyright owners. Use copyright to censor anything unfavorable.
In the interest of the citizens, the taxpayers, you need to reform how you do business.
It would be fare more efficient on taxpayer resources to issue one, and only one ruling that the government can get anything it wants, any time it wants, from anyone it wants, and for any reason whatsoever, real, imagined or spontaneously invented at the moment of need. Without any recourse, due process, or oversight. (Hint: take a lesson from Hollywood on this.)
Other tyrant fascist dictator police states have figured out this efficiency long ago. Why are you dragging your feet. Act like a FISA court ought to act. That's the entire reason the FISA court was established -- not that anyone would admit that.
The system can have TWO (or more) passwords. The real one and zero or more Fake passwords.
You use the real password in every day use.
You give the fascist tyrant police state dictators one of the fake ones. When the fake one is entered, all that you can see are a few apps, uninteresting contacts (grocer, dog groomer, hospital, etc) and uninteresting data.
Another fake password could be configured by the user so that upon first use, it destroys the real data and the real password.
If pressured you could give the fascist tyrant police state dictators more than one fake password.
I felt a great disturbance in the Election, as if millions of voters suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
You can be absolutely confident that after we make sure the election goes the right way, there will be no way to refute the results. No recount. No paper trail. Just the electronic results.
Even in the face of actual hacking, you can be assured the results we produce will be the desired result.
NSA declared that it passed on information about vulnerabilities to affected companies "90% of the time."90% of WHAT time?
90% of the time after NSA learned that a vulnerability had become known outside of NSA?
90% of the time after NSA learned that a vulnerability had been patched by the vendor?

On the post: Sony Apparently Issuing Takedowns To Facebook For News Articles About PS4 Slim Leak
Is the DMCA being used for this?
From that tweet: "Sony issued a takedown . . ."
So I will assume it is DMCA.
Can Sony identify what copyright is being infringed?
This is once again why the DMCA must either be abolished, or significant penalties need to be added to it for misuse.
You would think that a company that owns so much IP that is under Copyright would understand both Copyright and the DMCA.
But I guess they do understand it in a way. Copyright and the DMCA are about censorship. First and foremost.
And SOPA is the proof of that.
