'Hyster' being the Latin word for a woman's uterus. Thus, the word 'hysterical' specifically refers to when a woman's actions/emotions are entirely under the sway of her uterus.
Hence, it could by some be considered a gender slur.

There's nothing you can do. You may as well quit now.
Some big company will come along, sue you into oblivion for allegedly infringing on the patent for 'tactical buttered cheese' which barely peripherally kinda-sorta maybe applies to your invention, you will not be able to afford your own legal defense.
While they're bankrupting you, they'll completely ruin your reputation via some erroneous media scandal which is rooted on absolutely nothing.
Later they'll offer you a pittance, and you'll take it while begging them to accept your accursed patent.
Later, you'll change your name, emigrate to Sweden, and live out your life as a not-quite-prosperous bar owner in a very small town.
I very much agree. Statements such as yours are one of my favorite qualities of humanity.
But, be careful--the stupid who are in power believe in violence, which is generally effective when applied liberally regardless of the intellect of the persons receiving aforementioned violence. Of course, there's always the law of unintended consequences, which will also apply to said violence...
I would like to offer to all ICE officers, Congress-persons and Senators the ultimate censorship device: a blindfold/earplug combination. (I call it, the blind-plug.)
The above mentioned persons can easily censor the whole world just by wearing their personal blind-plug for as long as they'd like--remember, if you don't see/hear it, it's not there!

Law enforcement steals from people all the time, they just don't normally refer to it as stealing.
Seriously, look into "police seizures"--it's where the cops steal your stuff, never give it back (regardless of whether or not you've even been charged with a crime) and later sell your stolen stuff at auction for a profit.
This is just more of the same thing that been going on for years; everybody else is making money in the cyber-space and law enforcement is now attempting to make money there too.
I've done a little traveling in my life. One of the interesting things I've discovered--many of those lines they put on maps; they aren't actually there.
Seriously, you look at the map and there's this huge (by scale) colored line between the US & Mexico & Canada. IRL, no line at all!! It's as if the map-makers were conspiring to deceive everybody into believing there really is some sort of physical separator between one part of the planet and another part of the planet.
One person at XDA who's been researched CIQ devised a proof-of-concept exploit, which with minimal permissions can pull tons of information from your phone thru CIQ.
It can be removed but doing so requires a degree of proficiency which most users do not possess.
Haven't not spent much time researching this, I cannot answers simply if it is a rootkit--however, it IS the mother-of-all spyware, recording every little detail about your phone use and reporting it to anybody who knows the right "mother may I" questions to ask.
And it's in your phone by default--your carrier/manufacturer put it there.
It's a sad, sad day when we become a self trolling community.

That being said, not bad!
You need a little more conviction and outright lies; like this: Obviously this "rapper" is in league with Satan!
He's connected to the record labels, we just don't see the threads!

"YUP, dodging the clear intent of the law besides the morality of stealing the property of others.
...
YUP, pirates abound, but piracy still ain't right."
Don't you know the golden rule?
He who has the gold makes the rules.
Morality is something set by those in power--in many situations it bears little to no relation to reality.
Arguing something is immoral is the equivalent is saying something is wrong "because I said so."

Hi! How are you? Starved for human contact, I know.
Here's an interesting point: if there were no copyright, there would be no copyright infringement!
Neat, huh?
Also, which movie did you blow $100 million on producing? I'd love to see this flop and I'm certain that's true of many other people here.
