Private corporations expect to make an increasing profit every year, so they find any excuse to raise rates and cut services to feed that increase in profit. It's unsustainable in the long run, as we are very close to finding out with private prisons.
Not to mention it would be harder to sell your old place (assuming you don't rent) as the looming bill would discourage buyers. That it's easier for renters to move makes it that much worse for people who own property.
There's a dissonance to the average person given a normal lifespan. That doesn't seem limited at all - it seems to be "forever" given that it covers your entire life. That's not limited in any real sense of the word. Limited would be one or two generations, not one or two lifetimes. That only seems limited from the perspective of a multi-generational corporation.
10 years + unlimited 10 year renewals. But yes, life + 50/70/90 years is not in the slightest bit limited. Due to heavy lobbying by corporate interests, copyright have been perverted beyond all recognition.

I'd almost guess this was the product of an automated search service that had no idea who would be in the final list to send threats to. This is just the kind of stupidity that results from automated services.

You'll note that he mentions streaming in the ad, even though recording NFL games with your phone is strictly forbidden. It's a little word play - the streaming he mentions is INCOMING streams, not outgoing. If they can get you in the stadium by letting you watch other streams, all the more money for them. Especially if what you're streaming is NFL.com.
Re: Re: Re: Performing as intended, at least for the NFL
It's probably so the die-hards can stream every game currently on NFL.com so they don't miss the action anywhere while still going to the game. I could see where NFL would go for this. What do you want to bet that Verizon's 5G is throttled for anything other than NFL.com's streaming service inside the stadium?
It's more like take a number at the post office or DMV - for that moment, in that location, you were very briefly #947... unless you got tired of waiting and gave the number to someone else and left... or your friend was holding the number... or you swapped numbers with someone else. You get the idea. The number was not good outside a limited area for a limited time, and could not be tied to you directly since they call your number when it's your turn, not your name. Unless you personally hand them the number at that exact moment, no one can later say who #947 was.
It got worse from there. The TSOs decided to respond with a complaint of their own. They took a bunch of bullshit allegations to local prosecutors, which resulted in Pellegrino being charged with ten (!) criminal acts, including assault, making terroristic threats (!!), and "possession of an instrument of crime" (her luggage) (!!!).
She's lucky she was a 69 year-old white female or they'd have probably added "assaulting an officer's knuckles with her face" to the list.
It takes time for a team of engineers to rewrite the parts of the game that are affected by the cheating. In the meantime, they have a team of lawyers that need billable hours.
Basically, this is nabbing the stupidest of the stupid robbers. The ones who rob a bank, then walk next door to deposit the money in their own account.
