Could you actively discourage people from showing up at the offices of local government location, especially on Friday at 6pm? As long as one is pointing out it is inadvisable as the government frowns on organized protest...
Again and again and again Censorship is preventing someone from communicating an idea. Declining to provide a free soap box for them to pontificate from is NOT censorship.
What they are saying is just because Lindsay Lohan has turned herself into a parody of celebrity culture doesn't mean she can sue anyone else that tries to parody it?
Trying to get them to send takedowns to their own site would be less than useful, they are likely to work that out in house without the public ever noticing. Now having them issue take downs on hordes of legitimately posted music on Youtube/Amazon/Itunes from the companies that pay their way? That has some potential of reaching the wider media.
New obscure format with DRM, possibly ignored due to being obscure and noone cares.
Magic UNCRACKABLE!!! format announced. Suddenly a million strong horde out to crack it simply to prove they are smarter, no matter that the format is still unused.
'I was wrong.' No, I agree, almost never. 'My predecessor was wrong.' while shaking ones head sadly? I tried and true tradition they could take advantage of.
To me Wikipedia serves the exact same purpose as an Encyclopedia did back in the day. Its a first stop overview on a subject which might possibly point you in the right direction for further reading. No more, no less.
Where you get into issues, and why you need to take wikipedia with a grain of salt, is people can basically own a topic which is where you end up with a climate change denier deleting any reference to the subject on the Hurricane Sandy page at the time despite having no training in the field. One link provided, don't know if its the best one as its been some time since I read the originals. http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2012-11/wikipedia-sandy
In a sense modern book banning is positive. It highlights the idiots for you while providing massive free advertising to generally excellent books. So kudos to the morons I guess?
At some point if countries keep rolling out stupid rulings such as this, or some of the French attacks on Google, can these companies simply start blocking said countries? While I'm sure the domain registrar or Google would be unhappy to lose the corresponding business it still seems less painful and I would frankly love to see the reactions of the governments when large portions of the net simply went away.
Generally love the quality of the posts here but could use a hair more editing on this one before the late evening upload. In the fifth paragraph I know you want 'as well as' rather than 'ass well as' and I am pretty certain you want the judge taking apart Riley's lies with disassembles rather than further obscuring it by dissembling his lies.
To me the question of 'is it ok' really comes down to the community and the content. The advertising agency is making a judgement call on whether or not that community will appreciate what they are doing, or if its going to come back and bite them in the ass. Obviously the individual agency may guess wrong in any particular situation, but despite the odd adage of there is no bad press, the trick they played here with Archer will only work in very specific setting for very specific subjects. An attempt for example by a car company to randomly advertise its cars in the comments section everywhere would be more likely to turn people off to their product than to draw them new business.
Additionally their customer service is brilliant. I purchased some ram that turned out to be bad. It was an Xmas gift and life was busy so I didn't figure out it was shot until after the 30 day return policy. They could happily have told me to spin on it. Instead saw I had a good order history with them and simply wanted to exchange, took care of my problem straight away. Before you go to build your system sign up for their email blasts.

As was said over and over and over again, I'm pretty sure your ice hotel is going to be well stocked on warm fuzzy blankets and while I don't know the exact number of warm fuzzy blankets you need to burn in a small room to die of smoke inhalation I have to suspect the number is pretty low. Sure we can all go 'fire in an ice building. Hur hur' but if we rephrase it 'not dying of smoke inhalation in your sleep' it seems rather a tad more reasonable.
Step 1)Eat all searches using the relevant search terms on Google France. Step 2)Post a disclaimer on Google France listing the terms that will be eaten immediately below the search box, leading to a SERIOUS Streisand effect as people run off to Bing, Yahoo, et all to see what they might be missing via Google and making sure noone misses out. Step 3)Grin having followed the letter of the ruling while proving its stupidity.
Kicking kittens is only evil as a sport. If you are simply doing it gleefully then obviously, no harm, no foul. But when you start keeping score? Simply wrong and if you don't understand that it just goes to show how wrong you are.
