I wasn't stating that intentionally, but I will say that there is definitely a tie to those 2 little offensive words that have caused so much trouble to so many people.
Politically Correct - these 2 words enable assholes of all types to stomp on the majority and make their minority issue step on inviolable rights granted by the Constitution.
Politically Correct equals Weapon of Constitutional Destruction.
Give a fake name, a fake address and fake phone number, all belonging to someone else (yup, identity theft), and have fun posting, ranting, abusing and get that person arrested.
use a fake e-mail address that "soundexes" like their real email address and spoof your ip to match theirs and you can have even more fun.
No, your idea, while being an honest attempt at a solution is improbable and easily open to attack.
The policy I live by is that "you" (meaning everyone else on the planet) do not have the right not to be offended.
People are opinionated, people are passionate about their opinions, arguments ensue.
If someone directly attacks someone else (not their ideas, but the person) then that would be considered abuse.
If someone says that someone else's idea is a steaming pile of dog-raping shit, well, that's another person's opinion applied to another's person's ideas. That would not qualify as abuse.
A direct threat, where someone says they are going to do x, y and z to someone - well, guess what, that's an online threat, and a federal crime - go after that person under existing laws.
Belittling someone because of their ideas or personal choices, even when taken to extremes, isn't really abuse. -- You thought a, b and C, you're an idiot and should never have been born - does not qualify as abuse, it's rude and obnoxious, but not abuse. -- You smoke or drink and are stupid and should die to save my insurance company money later on - does not qualify as abuse as it's about someone's decision to do something that may or may not be stupid that probably would end up costing the rest of us more money down the road because of their stupidity.
Belittling someone because of what they are is abuse. -- Haha - you're a girl and are week and should never have been born qualifies as abuse, because it attacks what someone had no control over, how they were born, where they were born, gender, race, etc... -- You suck at playing this game and should die, while rude and offensive is also not abuse, because well, maybe the person really does suck at the game and people have been telling other people they should die since people first learned to communicate. It doesn't literally mean they should die, but that they should "go away" from the current location so that others don't have to acknowledge them.
Just remember two simple rules.
Don't threaten someone with violence directly. Don't make fun of someone because of things outside of their control - ie, how they were born.
You keep throwing around the words Pirates and Pirating in conjunction with downloaders.
You do realize that they are 2 completely different classes of people and actions right?
Pirates steal physical media and make replicas on physical media that they then sell at discounted rates - see any side street in a big metropolitan area or back water 3rd world country for an example.
People downloading files from the internet are not pirates, never have been, never will be.
It's not even a copyright violation since all attributions of the people who created the content is still there, nobody is claiming that "John Doe" created Star Wars or Avatar.
Downloaders and Torrent feeders are the modern equivalent to the people who taped music from the radio stations or recorded movies off of HBO.
There are NO losses incurred by the MPAA or RIAA Rico Gangs when a download occurs. In fact, the MPAA's biggest losses are due to the biggest Pirate in their world, the Macrovision (and other) encryption pirate - they sell encryption software claiming that it will force people to buy their content, when in fact, all it does is fill Macrovision's coffers with ill-gained loot based on lies and quarter-truths.
All real studies show that there is NO loss of income due to downloading (what you erroneously called Pirating), and most of the time there's actually an improved profit because of the availability of the files.
So please, stop repeating lies and quarter truths, and quit calling downloading pirating, because it isn't.
After we wire you up for 24x7x365.25 live video, audio, eeg, ekg and every other sensor we can figure out, you can live your life in the public, with absolutely no privacy ever.
You're a public servant, in office at our whim. Your job is to uphold the Constitution above all else, then the piss-poor laws enacted by our feeble minded Congress critters.
You do not take orders from the Executive branch, and you absolutely do not take orders from the corporate thieves that currently tell you what to do.
Pull your head out of your excrement hole and do the job you were put into office to do, quit being a Constitutional Terrorist and quit wielding Weapons of Constitutional Destruction.
lol - except the EU is apparently made up of a bunch of inept morons because google isn't anti-competitive and doesn't control the search industry as I've explained repeatedly.
Google doesn't control or dominate the search industry. They cannot force users to use google to execute searches.
Users control who does their searching. Users choose to use Google. Users control the search industry and who gets the most searches. Users want Google's results, not Bing's, not Yahoo's, or anyone else's.
Until the folks over in the EU figure that out, they may as well be advertising to the world that they are clueless.
AT&T - The government called, wants it billions back...
Go ahead and pout AT&T. We'll be the ones laughing when the government takes all of your infrastructure and patents away to pay back the billions that were given to you for infrastructure improvement that never happened.
They can look for some mentally unstable people, suggest to them that perhaps they should kill Rogers and Hayden, develop the entire plan, provide the weapons and whatnot, then, when they are just about to implement, swoop down in the nick of time and arrest the mentally handicapped victims of the FBI's malignant campaign.
Or, maybe, just maybe, they could arrest the real traitors that committed the heinous war crimes, those that new about them and didn't act on that knowledge, and those that heard about the acts and didn't act on it.
Yes, I admit that might mean they have to arrest half the U.S. Government and 99% of the alphabet soup agencies in this Country, but then the criminals would be gone and our Country would be safer.
There are still too many places in this country where you cannot stream anything at, so no, DishTV isn't legacy.
Once the FCC mandates Title II for all internet infrastructure and service providers, and demands payback for the billions in federal funds that were given out to improve overall broadband for the entire country, we'll see major expansion and speed improvements which may relegate their distribution model.
I foresee an interim where any company can rebroadcast encrypted versions of the cable channels to any customer anywhere in the United States using broadband delivery and the cost for subscriptions will plummet.
You mean the tech that identifies the commercial patterns and adjusts for when short block commercial breaks are used and when long block commercial breaks are used?
CIA / NSA and foreign intelligence = a bunch of morons...
Releasing this report will not CAUSE anything.
It's the fact that you idiots committed war crimes to begin with that will cause deaths and mayhem.
Everyone involved with these war crimes should be shot so that the rest of us can live knowing these criminals (who are no better than the Nazis were during WWII) are dead and gone.
Autohop was a great feature saved me from having to hit fast forward repeatedly.
I never watched CBS commercials, but now I have to put more effort into it.
So I'll be suing CBS for repetetive stress syndrome caused by having to repeatedly hit the fast forward button over and over and over and over and over and you get the idea.
If you're a Dish customer, you should sue CBS too.

Any files located on the pirate bay servers would be "what you are looking for can be found @ xyz"
If the MPAA and RIAA Rico Gangs had their way, all Internet search engines would be shutdown.

Dish had retransmission rights already.
It then asked the customer if they wanted the receiver, which has the full show, including commercials, if they wanted to see them or not.
It just automated the fast forward button.
It did not change what Dish transmitted to the receivers in any way, shape or form.
It did not change the shows in any way, shape or form.
It just automated what millions of viewers were already doing.
