Re: I'm picturing people using chilling effects to find free content
I've actually done it occasionally, when I've been searching for something on google and found one of those chilling effects links at the foot of a page. It did take a fair bit of ploughing through dead, bogus and irrelevant links, and it's because there are generally easier ways of finding what I've been looking for that I haven't done it much, but on just a couple of occasions it has been very helpful.
The bill would make it a felony to surreptitiously record any “private conversation,” which it defines as any “oral communication between 2 or more persons,” where at least one person involved had a “reasonable expectation” of privacy.
No problem. Just declare yourself to be a self-employed researcher. Now all your recordings are business records, and we all know there's no reasonable expectation of privacy in those!
or purchase, lease, construct, maintain or operate any facility for the purpose of enabling a private business or entity to offer, provide, carry, or deliver video, telecommunications or broadband service to one or more subscribers
Carefully worded so that they can still provide massive subsidies from taxpayers' money for private entities to lease, construct, maintain or operate such facilities... someone should propose an amendment to include "fund" along with those other forbidden verbs, I'd love to hear AT+T squawk at the thought of losing all their pork!
There's no actual data in that zip file. It's just got a couple of *enormous* text files with listings of the filenames of all the data they're claiming to have stolen, and a readme.txt that says:

As #4 says, this is clearly nothing more than a threat of a consumer boycott of any firm whose advertising revenue supports the NFL or the Rams. The entire article is based on a ludicrous fallacy. You should pull it.
I know perfectly well that the occasional bored postie is going to read my postcard as it makes its way through the postal system, but that doesn't imply that I'd also accept the government making a copy of every single postcard that anyone ever sends and keeping it in a searchable database forever.
Mezzacotta's "Square of Root of Garfield Minus Garfield"
Mezzacotta's comic is called "Square Root of Minus Garfield". You have conflated it with Dan Walsh's "Garfield Minus Garfield", which inspired the title for Mezzacotta's mash-up but is otherwise unrelated.
Thus, at base, Flo & Eddie has the right to possess and use its sound recordings and prevent others from possessing and using them. The plain meaning of having “exclusive ownership” in a sound recording is having the right to use and possess the recording to the exclusion of others.
But the law does not grant them exclusive ownership of a sound recording; it grants them exclusive ownership of the copyright over that recording. The judge has conflated two different things there.

Ok, so he may be going to miss out on the credit for inventing email, but why's he bothering to get all upset about an insignificant thing like that? If he wants fame, applause, and Nobel prizes, he has only to show us his time machine, which he must have used to invent something in 1978 that had already existed for years!
