Yes, dem evib pirates are gonna register their copyright asap so they can sue for kajillions.
One does wonder if the pirate release gave them a bigger sales bump, having been able to see if its complete or just smoke and raytracing animated on a cray in the pr shots.

Just because he helped broker the deal, knew about all of the problems with standing, and had everyone rubber stamping it before the BOG ever knew about it is no reason to think he screwed up.

Question - Don't most political positions make them swear to uphold the constitution??
Why can't someone just sue them when they do stuff as being unfit for office. This clearly on its face runs afoul of the Constitution, 1st Amendment, and shit tons of settled legal doctrine.
Hes obviously not fit to serve if he wastes the tax payers time & money on pushing for something that will never happen.

"a victory for U.S. national security"
We have secured the doors on the barn that burned 24 months ago.
These doors are very secure to keep out the nationstate hackers, even if the access is still admin 12345.
This is BS.
This company screwed tons of people & got off with hardly a wrist slap, while the victims will end up spending untold thousands to try to undo the damage & then the added bonus of paying to get the records these assholes keep corrected to remove the errors they help open the door to.

They also have lots of storage space & a need to keep things that might be useful in the future.
I mean its not like I still have that entire dump of ACS when they screwed up and put the whole server backup online.... er wait.
The world seems to keep working under the assumption, no one would ever do that.
No one would ever combine datasets.
No one would ever scrap every picture they could find.
No one would ever give the names, numbers, emails of everyone they know to a platform.
No one would ever build shadow profiles to help find more links between people.
No one would ever use shopping data to send baby coupons.
No one would ever lie online.

Re: Re: Counterpoint.
Rightscorp is still out there, turning out notices based on their super secret black box (they violated a court order to allow review of).
The **AA's had to pony up for lawsuits & find a Judge willing to accept that accusations are factual. Then they sued ISPs for not having or properly implementing "repeat infringer" policies. They they filed suit against all the other large ISPs.
All you need is a magic black box pointing at someone & calling them a witch... and a court has ruled that is enough evidence to burn them at the stake.

Then launch into screaming fits when someone suggests their bleach enemas cure autism group gets flagged.
No one is coming to save you, stop expecting it.
No one is responsible for you, except you.
Yes its hard to learn to filter all the information coming at you, but refusing to try & demanding tech magically fix it for you leads to more stupid people.
People scream at Twitter b/c they let the nazis, racists, etc etc roam free... they mass report them... then are SHOCKED just shocked when they end up mass reported.
It is not a game you can "win". You don't have to crush your enemies underfoot and hear the lamentations of their women.
But human nature is "me me me me me" (disbelieve? watch people trying to merge into traffic & the battle of wills over someone feeling that someone getting ahead of them means they lost... so they will cause larger traffic snarls to "win". They end up making themselves even later/slower but inside they think they won b/c they stayed ahead of the other guy)
It is easier to blame tech than to admit some people suck & move on.
Its a war & winning is all that matters... even if winning means creating more tools that can be used against us in ways we never considered & then whine about.
Stop abdicating responsibility outside of yourself for yourself.
