If this were to be made into law then basically we would have how the West was won cyber-style. Whomever can draw his pistol (malware/virus) the quickest wins.
Personally in a war of hackers vs. Everyone Else my bet is with the hackers winning the Cyber-West.
1. Why were 9 cops and a police dog sent to restrain an overtly drunk man with a heart condition?
2. Why were any witnessess phones taken away from them?
3. Why did the seized phones suddenly not have any video on them?
4. Can someone explain to me exactly why an asswhooping with batons ending with the death of a may while 9 cops and a police dog are needed on the scene is "within policy"?
This release there is no "killer game" that only works with the new console. The only reason I bought a 360 was because it would play the next release in the Halo franchise and pretty much anyone I talked to was of the same mindset.
M$ figures that since they're M$ everyone will come running to their latest and greatest (be that O/S or game console).
Sorry M$ but you've become the new IBM and no one really cares about what you come out with next. Your ethically questionable strong arm business tactics are finally catching up with you.
And we need the RIAA for what? Tell me again how they bring value to artists and the market? Seems to me to be a dying dinosaur way beyond ready for extinction.
For many years I've been following the career of both Ron and Rand Paul.
I have to say that yes, they have both made some mistakes, but they are one of the few in politics that have a decent track record of actually representing the interests of the PEOPLE instead of special interest groups.
To characterize them as lazy men of leisure is a gross mischaracterization.
This reminds me when I got my first Razr from Verizon. After trying to get MP3s loaded on to the damn thing I learned that Verizon had intentionally crippled features that were built in to the Razr. In an attempt to force me to buy their crap music/media software (only $35) so I could upload my music, sync my calendar, and manage my contacts. After about 20 minutes I found a rogue firmware update that allowed me to do what Verizon’s crap software would do for free. Did this violate my warranty? Yep, you betcha, but it certainly was not piracy and it certainly was not illegal. I did not download a cracked version their crap software. I simply found a workaround for Verizon's gouging scheme.
In fact I had a number of friends that had Razr’s and I charged them $10 to fix their firmware so that their phone were no longer crippled. So, I made a few bucks from Verizon’s DRM stupidity.
DRM has really never been about piracy. It’s about control and being able to squeeze $ from your customers.
As a society whenever violent tragedy strikes we almost always blame the wrong thing. We blame bad parenting, violent media, violent video games, music with violent lyrics, violent role playing games. Rarely do we place responsibility where it belongs: With the person who pulled the trigger.

Ron Paul - I hope it was a stupid lawyer mistake
If this was a case of over enthusiastic lawyers then this is a tiny bit better, but still disappointing.
Glad this stupidity got slapped down.
