I agree Hasbro should apologize for how they made it look to him and others outside the company. Though, I do believe Hasbro is telling the truth when they said that the promotion deal asking for his address was completely unrelated to the investigation from the legal team.
As far as my experience with Hasbro, they were awfully polite in their cease and desist letter when a song for MLP was leaked early, and the Brony community for the most part honored Hasbro's wishes.
I have some questions for those of you more knowledgeable in politics and law about the 2nd amendment passed.
"2. Conyers (Ml): Would strike the exemption from criminal liability, strike the civil liability exemption for decisions made based upon cyber threat information identified, obtained, or shared under the bill, and ensure that those who negligently cause injury through the use of cyber security systems or the sharing of information are not exempt from potential civil liability."
1. How far does this actually help?
2. And what exactly does "negligently cause injury" actually mean?
No not that kind of angry, I suppose "annoyed" would be a better word, at least that's how your first comment came off to me. So, I'm still curious as to why you think Mike pointing out that a case has no chance of actually going anywhere is somehow equatable with Techdirt is always against the little guy when that is clearly not true. In fact a recent article today is about a researcher was silenced through copyfraud by a large company.
while getting a president in office who actually knows what he's doing would be nice, it would be pointless if congress is still the same old pork barrel legislators.
playing video games is only "remotely not 'normal'" to old people who don't know what they're talking about. Though, most media companies are owned by said old people :[
If he really used WoW to train, he would not have gotten away with all he did. Standing in one spot and pressing buttons is not the most realistic tactics game...
So, your angry because Mike stated the fact that someone doesn't have a case against a big video game company? Have you even looked at what that guy is trying to argue? The authors status as the "little guy" has nothing at all to do with the immutable fact that his case doesn't stand a chance in hell.
