The whole 7 minute court decision makes me feel that the judge knew exactly how he was going to rule. This leads me to ask how he knew the details of the case. I don't know if it's possible to get enough evidence but this sets off all sorts of alarm bells.
Rico? maybe a stretch, conspiracy, may still be out of reach.
"The new DA (Mike Hestrin) has aligned his officer's wiretap policy with the 9th Circuit Court's ruling. He has said, however, that he will defend his predecessor's wiretap orders if they are challenged in court."
So no, none of the people have been cleared. The new DA is promising to fight anyone who tries to get free of this mess.
If the Police feel that they need hate crime prevention perhaps someone add on the reverse.
I propose that charges be raised when a person of authority commits a crime against the PEOPLE. The PEOPLE need to be protected from the hate of public officers.
Well at least they are not sexually assaulting people. But Justin Berry has a false sense of freedom. Using Justin Berry's logic the fraternal order of police austin texas is also a terrorist organization since it's members intentionally commit domestic extremism and violate human rights, and constitutional rights everyday,
I agree it's a big stretch. The things is the MLB is notorious for claiming control and ownership, to have that I'm sure they opened themselves up a bit legally for this. It sounds like this guy has no chance. Courts usually don't like it when filings from the lawyers don't make sense. It has a tendency to cause summary judgements.
I think there is an important distinction here that the videos were not just used for news. They provided peak views and ad revenue over this whole situation. IMO it's not crazy to think that he has some level of interest in that ad revenue. If this was a paid actor then he would have to sign a release. Since he's suing I assume he didn't sign a release.
I don't like it but I can see that there might be a money grab somewhere in this complaint.
Does this also equally apply to any ISP involved? I mean technically they assisted in committing this crime. Perhaps I am missing the distinction here between a TOR service and an Internet service. The encryption aspect would seem irrelevant to this argument.
The idea that they should charge Netflix is wrong because Netflix is properly paying for there connection to the internet already. They are providing what the end user requested.
The end user here is initiating the movie. This is not a broadcast from Netflix to a wide range of people clogging the internet.
ISP's happened to sell "unlimited" connections to users. These users are trying to use the connection.
If the ISPs are unhappy with their current income from their users then they need to make changes on that area. To go behind the scenes and try to get money from Netflix is a from of extortion.
Really this is less than a FCC issue and more of an FTC issue on the part of the ISP services.
Person will submit a request and then it's forwarded on to Chilling Effects. Couldn't you then submit another request to forget that too? Privacy through walls of requests.
