I just need to find a way to script the downloading of the images and then I'll put them up somewhere else with explicit CC0. If these guys are too stupid to realize it is not my fault, issue or concern.
It gets slightly better. This is probably the worst possible time to have done exactly that - being caught red handed right as the judge is wising up to the BS that they've been pulling. While FISC may be a rubber stamp in general, I have a feeling they are not toothless.
Our US judicial system is mostly clueless. They think google is evil and show little to zero technical aptitude or understanding of what is happening.
How many judiciaries have actually understood the technology at large for 2014? This can probably be counted with both hands, even if we're including the part of scotus that vaguely understands technology.
Indeed, one could surmise that the author of the article is perhaps leaning people *towards* infringing streams, or inciting copyright infringement perhaps?
The best part is, they moderate their blog so heavily as to not allow a single negative or contradicting statement to be approved.

What impresses me the most about this is that you can replace NSA with almost anything here and there's no way it doesn't sound like a complete and total unsubstantiated waste.

I get the point of the post here, and I agree that it's stupid of a company to do (gamestop potentially) - but I don't know if I would say that the ad was banned as it implies different things as opposed to the advertising company who banned it.
My first thought when I read this was that some random obscure US law was being used to prevent political games or equivalent, based on the title.
Re: Ya ever heard of shareware? Same idea. Not new.
This is hilarious. Shareware is not like torrenting your own software. Failed argument from the initial statement.
I'm not going to refute the rest, I'm just going to point out you are 100% wrong from the start and not even read the rest. Why should it be worth my time if you're willing to misconstrue basic facts?
They were clearly talking about Techdirt, obviously. As in, how can we continue to be jackasses and provide doublespeak with that damn internet still existing!
Who is this crazy guy? Oh, the son of Richard Posner? I guess bad apples don't fall far from the tree, so to speak. Why he got his son into law is anyone's guess, but clearly not the right decision.
How much does this guy pay to clean up his wikipedia profile? It seems like a lot of money, given how magically non-controversial it is (in comparison to his claims). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Posner
