Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: But this is EXACTLY what you wanted
What about business users connecting to the corporate network over a VPN? That's encrypted traffic that is perfectly legal. By your logic, using encrypted traffic means you are trying to hide illegal activity. This is clearly not always the case.
How would you decide what encrypted traffic is valid? Just going by the amount of encrypted traffic would be meaningless, as many VPN users will transfer large amounts of data.
What's left?
Really, I think your argument is seriously flawed.
Not only that, but Apple allows customers to install whatever they want on those machines since they are regularly re-imaged.
For example, a few years ago my wife was looking at buying a new MacBook and wanted to test some software before buying it. The Apple store employee said it was fine so we tried it out. There were no restrictions on the computer, so we could do whatever we wanted.
I doubt Apple has changed things since then. So, while I'm sure this guy didn't have approval, there was nothing to stop him from doing it either.
I have to totally disagree with your statement. Just because this person has not done anything with the pac12.com domain name does not mean he should be forced to give it up to someone else, no matter what the price offered is. He purchased it legally, long before the Pac 10 became the Pac 12. By what logic should he be forced to involuntarily relinquish that domain name to another party?
Also, I am sure that if there were some sort of "Internet Eminent Domain" rules, they would be abused just as much as they are with physical property. I really do not think we need just another rule, law, or whatever that can be easily abused. We already have too many of those.

IP address? That can be spoofed.
Files downloaded through BitTorrent? Many valid things, such as Linux distros, are downloaded using BitTorrent.
I'm sure there are other problems but those are the first that come to mind.
I'm sorry, but there are just too many potential pitfalls with this whole process.

Overall, I think it was a good choice. I have been extremely happy with my Panasonic LCD TV and JVC and Panasonic camcorders. :)
