I don't want to give businesses more leeway. The fact is that if someone is doing their job as well or better than everyone else, the business should NOT have the right to fire them just because they point out that the people in the business are overworked, that they don't have the correct equipment, etc.
Sometimes, SHAMING a business is the only way to get them to change their tune.... without the right to vent online and do that shaming, a lot of businesses will try to get away with metaphorical murder.... and sometimes LITERAL murder.
Agreed. The fact is that it should be illegal for ANYONE to be fired simply because they complain about their workplace or because someone related to them complains about their workplace.
Yes, I have heard of people being threatened with being fired because their CHILDREN post comments from their parents about the craptacular working conditions at their parents workplaces, coming from listening to their parents vent about it at home.
Personally, I feel that you just shouldn't go into the area where you can be recorded if you don't like the possibility of being recorded.
The fact is that I do not think that recording ANYONE should be illegal, whether you are recording them in a sexual act or not, as long as you are on of the people who are a party to the sexual act or it is your home they are doing the sexual act in.
Uploading it, in my opinion, also shouldn't be illegal. No one has the right to not be embarrassed, though if someone uploaded one of my sexual encounters I wouldn't be embarrassed.... I would be proud that someone found it attractive enough to put online.
True. I remember for a short period of time 10 years ago Comcast offered HBO for free.
Didn't get me to sign up, but according to them a lot of other people signed up for them.
Disney is going to have to realize that 'premium' services are going the way of the dodo. More and more people (myself included) are downloading HBO/other premium channel programming online and having no moral qualms about it.
Why? Because we feel that 110 dollars a month to Comcast is more than enough.
The fact is that the TSA grope searches and even the scanning DO violate the Fourth Amendment by treating everyone as potential criminals. It's time to get rid of this security theater and move on past this stuff.
Yes, they do have something analogous to our First Amendment Freedom of Speech.... however, a lot of idiots up there LOVE to be able to stop speech that they do not agree with.
All over the world who will immediately start pushing for net-neutrality laws everywhere that FORBID ISP's from doing anything to degrade any service and make them have to provide their service 24/7 with NO data caps.
I have no problem with the speeds I get being decreased so that the network isn't 'clogged' by me using it 24/7. I have a big problem with ISP's who try to cap my bandwidth just because to them, I am using 'too much'.
Yep.... with a 10 year old, it is all about "Are you physically harming someone else without their permission? Are you stealing something PHYSICAL from them? Are you forcing someone to do or not do something that they do not or do wish to do. sexual or not? No? Then nothing wrong with it.
Agree on the "It's time to drop the whole Special 301" thing. That 'report' is written solely by copyright maximalists, so it is not a legitimate report at all.
I disagree. For goodness sakes, if I have marked that I do not want them to send me e-mails or text messages anymore on a page or via something, there is NO reason to send a confirmation of that confirmation that I don't want those messages/e-mails.

That is FAR AND AWAY different from rape, where you force another sex act on someone by physical force or drugging.

Re: Lawsuits
Frankly, in my estimation, this is a REASONABLE lawsuit.... they do not need to 'confirm' things in umpteen ways.
ONE e-mail or text message saying I don't want anymore message should be enough with NO confirmation.
