With this treaty supposed to stay secret for 4 years after it comes into effect, how are you supposed to know what law you are breaking if they don't even tell you? How many other secret laws are we operating under that they are not telling us about?
Never ever ever put anything with any security classification on a windows box. Never ever ever put anything classified on a computer hooked to a network.
The powers that be want all of us breaking the law all the time. That way, if you become a problem then they can neutralize you with an arrest and make you look like a criminal.
The simple way to tax people for road use is to tax the gasoline. The more gas you use, the higher your taxes. This works out great because the bigger your vehicle the more damage it causes to the road as it drives. There is an added bonus of promoting alternative fuels and electric vehicles.
The government wanting to put tracking devices in everyones car would be expensive and very intrusive. It would basically be just like allowing a government agent to accompany you on every trip you make. They don't trust us and they want to monitor all of our activity. It is as simple as that.
They have done nothing about the "grieving" that happens continuously at every conference that any company tries to have on second life. Nothing says professional like hundreds of large rotating billboards of goatsx and lemon party flying around while you are trying to do a presentation for your company.
Especially considering how much professional sports is subsidized by tax breaks and public money being used to build the stadiums.
I mean really, since out money is paying their salaries and they are running around out on a field paid for with tax money, why isn't any tax payer free to film and use the event for any purpose they choose?

You have the right to swing your arms around all you like, unless you swing your arm into someones nose.
You have the right to say anything you like, unless you utter a death threat.

If you create a walled garden
If Apple was just providing a space for vendors to use, like a street for any vendor to set up shop, then common carrier status would protect them.
But since they are looking at every product and vendor that enters the market they accept full responsibility for everything, good or bad.
On the post: Would Twitter Be Liable For Links To Infringing Material?
A link
Your finger remains your finger, it does not become the moon.
A link is just a pointer. It doesn't become infringing just because it is pointing at infringing material.
