Google is like the yellow pages
The yellow pages provides the name, phone number and address of numerous "escort services", adult video shops and many other "undesirable" type of businesses. Just because the AG doesn't like them doesn't mean he gets to take them out of the yellow pages! Just because Google is on the internet doesn't change the law.

Doing better but not fully healed
Any system in which the only solution is that a problem be pushed up the chain through every single level of supervision/decision is seriously broken.
Problems are to be fixed/corrected at the lowest level possible so if the lower courts keep passing crap patents up the judicial chain of command then the problem isn't fixed.
The Supreme Court has better things to do with it's time than fix the screwed decisions of the lower courts on issues which SHOULD BE RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD RULINGS!

Yea so you reach into your coat for your phone and when the officer sees a largish, black item in your hand decides he wants to go home tonight even if you don't.

Is DISH offering refunds or contract releases?
They've been marketing the DISHOPPER for so long now as one of the primary reasons to sign up that I can't believe they're doing that. How long before someone sues them to get out of a contract because that was one of the major features?

Make the penalty the same as.....
Drunk Driving....oh wait forget I said that. Briefly forgot that here in the US we punish our "infringer" much more harshly that we do the damn drunk drivers! To quote Dr. Sheldon Cooper...."I what universe does that make sense?"

Bad enough I get in trouble for shopping online while I'm drunk and have tons of boxes show up at my door! Now I have to worry about being pulled over for BWI - Browsing While Intoxicated?
