It's not about improving US business. That's the ostensible purpose, but it's false.
It's about protecting legacy players with established lobbies who are threatened because reproduction of media has been rendered trivial by digital technology.
These laws bugger US business in favour of said legacy players (protectionist policies lead to inefficient market lead to getting clobbered by unencumbered outside/underground suppliers).
What you quoted has nothing to do with what you wrote(whinged) about. I'd explain it to you, but that would assume it was an honest mistake, which I don't believe.
Your strawman is ridiculous and belies the unsupported nature of your position (otherwise you'd point out actual flaws).
This seems to suggest that the State Department can now shame entire countries claiming they're a "cybersecurity concern" if the reality is that their anti-copyright efforts are more lax.
Instead of "anti-copyright efforts" I think you mean "copyright enforcement efforts" or similar.
This still fails on what all laws fail on: a "digital copy" can be used to trivially produce near infinite copies. DRM will always be circumventable, even legal DRM.
What a company or registry's perspective, opinion or EULA is regarding this is meaningless.
Bits on my computer? I "own" them. Perhaps not in the legal sense but in the practical sense, absolutely. Good luck trying to restrict my usage/manipulation/reproduction of them.
Needs a way to close/minimize it imo, but discounting articles because of it is your own brand of self-inflicted stupidity i guess.
Further, coming on this article to just to whine about it is a bit like if CBS were to release some stupid petulant press release after losing a court decision...

This would be funny if it weren't so overloaded. The important fact to remember is that the Illuminati have implanted tracking and mind control devices just under the meat of bob's left butt cheek. They want to control bob to distract from the fact that they control UEFA.
Rule number 1 for Illuminati is to have some nut spout crazy stuff to keep Scotland from winning UEFA.
Oh, yeah, it was like lightning
Scott's legal theories were frightening
But the ruling was soothing
And now Dieter is grooving
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a courtroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a courtroom blitz
but it does make you wonder if even having that trigger will now lead to being cut off
Not necessarily. Google autocomplete currently works via ajax, so page send a request with search query as entered thus far and gets back a list of suggestions from google's servers.
If the checking for this is done client side (i.e. in javascript with no ajax), it would make it impossible for the GFOC (Great Firewall Of China) to detect as there is no network traffic.
The GFOC could then in theory surreptitiously insert javascript into the page to generate some sort of network traffic during these events, but that approach is quite brittle and convoluted.
LOL! Really? You would that Mike is biased no matter what the facts or the law or the fire or the chain because you work backwards. Every single thing you say about Mike is dripping with lies, bias, and prejudice, and superfluous commas. You couldn't be honest about Mike if your life depended on it. But, yeah, keep dead agenting for your paymasters. As long as there's the appearance of real debate...
