I'm on an emotional roller coaster with my google overlords, first they decide to kkill off my igoogle homepage, now they roll out something so awesome and so needed.
Still and all, on the whole, i trust them more than any other option, their interests and mine coincide (a big fat cheap data pipe) securing and encrypting my data is MY responsibility.
If you don't want anyone to have your data, don't leave it lying around mucking up the place.
Every time i click through to help out demand progress i end up on half a dozen mailing lists. I suppose i could just use a throwaway email, but it's still bloody obnoxious.
not so much, since in this case, viacom went after precisely the wrong shows the public streams of the daily show and colbert report are used by tons and tons of people who can't catch the broadcast. Since they're high quality and without commercials i've even been known to watch them instead of pirating the shows the next day.
So..viacom/dish just collectively pissed in the cheerio's of the colbert nation, and i think it's been proven by now, that's not something you should do lightly. it'll be interesting to see how it's spun on the new episodes this week, bc i guarantee stephens going to bring it up.
in many cases the way the treaty is written isn't just bilateral, the US has a much easier time getting someone than the other country would doing the same. that's certainly the case in britain and in England, i can only assume it's even worse in little players like New Zealand.
lamar smith is a piece of crap. Every single time his name comes up, it's attached to some abhorrent anti citizen piece of legislation, or eating the poor, or kiling a bill to end the drug war in committee.
He's a meat puppet, being worked by the corporate fist shoved up his ass. I hope he reads this. So that even if he doesn't believe it, he'll know just for a moment what real people think of him and the way he's sold out his constituents, and his oath.
Lamar Smith, you are whats wrong with america. I heard your mother seduces bears.
no, you'll open up the internet one day after downloading a torrent, to a screen saying your account has been suspended, until you call this number.
Then you'll explain to the nice man that you keep an open router, they'll tell you why that's a bad evil thing to do, and offer to help you set a password. then they'll turn your shit back on.
basically the rights company monitors the swarm, takes the low hanging unproxied IP's, and sends a notice to your ISP, who then forwards it on. Get BTGUARD, or another good proxy and you'll never have to worry about it again. At least that's how it's always worked up until now.
if there's enough evidence to arrest someone, they should have it before we seize a mans assets and attempt to legally kidnap him from another country, of which he's a citizen.
not sure how broadcast television fits the argument...netflix for example builds functionality on top of it that users love and the industry hates....as for the new stuff, eztv does great things....from a consumer standpoint.
publicly accessible data is publicly accessible data. then again, i suspect we have substantially different worldviews regarding intellectual property.
not really, the data itself is almost irrelevant, unless Dotcom uploaded it himself. OFC some users used mega for infringing, what they have to prove is either willful action on the part of mega to facilitate it, or enticement to infringe as a busines model. or...something. First i guess they have to figure out if this should have ever been a criminal case at all, since they're using civil law to support criminal actions.... screw it, doesn't matter, the only question at this point is if NZ is going to bend over. They get him here he'll go down for decades, if they have to make up a law to do it with.

Re:
Address the problem (pimps and underage sex slaves).
kicking the can down the line to somewhere further underground has never protected anyone.
Then they just end up on the TOR network somewhere. better to leave the low hanging fruit, so cops have something to do instead of busting stoners.
