"It's so funny how all these months later Karl is still trying to complicate the situation enough so that Arcara might not apply."
Wasn't it the stance of someone you're agreeing with here that maybe the government is holding onto their stance of Arcara becuase they beleive it's correct? Guess that doesn't go both ways, huh?
"He was a buffoon then and he's a buffoon now."
And if you look to your right, you'll see some of AC's normal Ad Hom attacks that deftly avoid actually discussing topics.
"I said on this blog last fall that Arcara was the key and that it would be used by gov in their prosection.
I was right."
What prosecution? This is ICE's defense of thier actions.
"And Masnick weaseled out of paying a charity $500 for being wrong about these seizures."
Again, you try to claim victory before the race is run. I do beleive the agreement was after all everything was said and done. Since the actual legal action has yet to start (except for this company requesting its domain back), I'd hardly call this one done.
"Time to start writing certain entities about his behavior there."
Who? The BBB? The CIA? The Enquierer? Gonna call his mommy and tell her what a bad boy he's being for not 'playing fair'?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Not just somethign to flatten your clothes with
Interesting to see someone rant about lowered respect while making sweeping generalizations about entire generations. And to which generation are you referring? Are you insinuating that my two daughters (10 and 11) are gun-toting thugs just aching to pop a cap in someone?
Or, perhaps, you're referring to the 20-something generation? Well my niece would be more likely to cut on herself than someone else (being in the emo scene, alas) (/sarc, btw).
The 30-somethings? Well, sir, that’s me… and I’ll take personal offense that you are saying all of my mother’s work was a failure and in vain.
I'd love to know how the copyright law and culture are upholding this holy respect you seem to claim exists. Is it perhaps where an artist [sic, my opinion] was accused of pirating his own creation (I'm talking about 50 Cent, btw, in case I lost you) by his own label? Is it in the fans who tribute those they admire and respect... who are respected in return by those very artists... but are threatened and slapped around by corporate entities who own a piece of paper?
Where is this respect you claim should exist?
And you're right... the level of disrespect shown by self-important, holier-than-thou, opinionated ACs who make broad, sweeping generalizations that encompass entire generations is so high that there no longer is any truth.
But hey, why let anything weigh you down from your high-horse? Preach on, brother.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: This leads to an interesting conclusion about Hadopi
I don't know how else to explain that if the government chooses to send out its legal notices to people via email, it's not spam. Just because there's a large number going out at once doesn't make it spam. By that logic, if local municipalities chose to send Red-light Camera tickets in a mass-sending (bulk) via email, they would be spamming... which is not true.
Give you another example. I work tech for insurance agencies. One of the things they can do is send late-payment reminders to their customers via email (assuming they have the email address). If they get 50 clients in a single day who missed a payment, and they send 50 form-letter emails saying "hey, don't forget your bill!” they are NOT spamming.
And that's what the government in this case is doing... they have a large number of emails to send out to people for a transactional purpose (issuing a legal warning).
I think one of the biggest differences here is that spam applies to commercial email, and I don't think you'll see anyone enforce that these government notifications qualify for that definition.
Re: Exclude everyone else, so they have no money to spend-- on your 'thing'.
Completely ignoring ironic intent and proceeding to explain to the author the very point the author was making in the first place is not normal... but on Darryl it is.
Re: Re: Re: This leads to an interesting conclusion about Hadopi
My point was that there is going to be some part of the TOS (which are about as convoluted as EULAs) that allows this kind of communication to be 'allowed' and ultimately not spam. Besides which... transactional communication is not considered spam even if it's not from the 'first line' of service. If it's a government agency that regulates the business you're doing business with, that agency can send you communications on behalf of the service provider if it is related to that service.
Not all unsolicited communication meets the definition of spam.
"but more that he's like an annoying anal fungus that can't be gotten rid of."
Yeah, but most anal fungi are something one gets unintentionally... whereas you actively seek exposure to and engage in interation with this 'anal fungus'.
Well, since NONE of the reporting processes are EVER abused, I think they assume that if there's THAT many reports on a single person, they MUST be a pirate and they just shoot them.
Re: This leads to an interesting conclusion about Hadopi
I know you're being sarcastic... but I would group these under 'transactional communications' from your ISP. That is, technically, solicited since you purchased their service and agreed to their TOS.
"We took our shoes off and placed our laptops in bins. Schneier took from his bag a 12-ounce container labeled “saline solution.”
“It’s allowed,” he said. Medical supplies, such as saline solution for contact-lens cleaning, don’t fall under the TSA’s three-ounce rule.
“What’s allowed?” I asked. “Saline solution, or bottles labeled saline solution?”
“Bottles labeled saline solution. They won’t check what’s in it, trust me.”
They did not check. As we gathered our belongings, Schneier held up the bottle and said to the nearest security officer, “This is okay, right?” “Yep,” the officer said. “Just have to put it in the tray.”
“Maybe if you lit it on fire, he’d pay attention,” I said, risking arrest for making a joke at airport security. (Later, Schneier would carry two bottles labeled saline solution—24 ounces in total—through security. An officer asked him why he needed two bottles. “Two eyes,” he said. He was allowed to keep the bottles.)" Little girls and old ladies, on the other hand... very much more dangerous than uninspected 12oz bottles labeled 'saline solution'.
Hey "quit bitching" AC's... how does this make us safer?
I remember when a certain jackass Florida lawyer kept trying to 'sue on behalf of' videogame victims [sic]. Even after being slapped down by judges, he still kept at it.
What ever happened to him? hmm... oh, that's right! He got DIS-FREAKING-BARRED!
You tried to insinuate that Tim's post about drunk trolls is as bad as this woman's blog post.... when I disagreed and stated that it was pointing to a study that was done (read: not just Tim's opinion) you called me disinginuous.
So, i called you out for being disinginuous for making the comparison in the first place. Sorry if I confused you by using whit and sarcasm to express my point. Didn't mean for you to think I changed the subject.
You can feel free to no longer converse with me... but I do want to point out how lucky you must feel to be able to read context into anything you don't like so that you can feel morally justified in dismissing and ignoring it. Taking the high-horse to the high ground as it were... hmmm.... Leslie, I presume?
Or, it could be that was neither signed in, nor paying attention to the fact that my name on the comment box was typed in the anonymous box. [facepalm]
