Unless the doll has cameras for eyes, and when you pull the string it promises not to do anything with the info it gathered, but then sends it to any advertiser within visual range..
perhaps the seizure of mooo.com wasn't anything at all to do with copyright and this is just a cover.
Perhaps one or two of the sites had some info the government REALLY doesn't want anyone getting their hands on? Possibly even something the site creator may not have realized the value of........
They seize a vast number of sites, KNOWING there will be fallout, but knowing whatever happens is far less than whatever the other site contained.
I wonder if anyone has any backups of the sites that were taken down PRIOR to the takedown, to compare and see if the government has "amended" some of the content of these sites in the interim?
TPP (which I assume stands for totally pissing-off people)
leaked....which means..OMG piracy!!!!
thats (/random) fifty five billion in lost erm..sales....or something.....
Aside from that, its actually (and this is serious) becoming risky for a consumer to even buy something legally...as there is a risk of getting sued by all these third-party liability wannabees.
OMG you bought film xyz....but we intend to sue the makers for infringement of our copyright (using light to make the actors visible)....and firstly you WATCHED the film....then you had the nerve to make a copy of it IN YOUR BRAIN....but you added some bits...so you created an illegal derivative work of what we consider to also be illegal.
Please pay us $1000 under the terms of the hollywood&rich people know best act or we will be forced to pretend to be cops and kick your door in and start confiscating things.....
poor average joe...you haven't met these people who send 10s of thousands of dollars to nigerian princesses with eleventy billion dollars JUST FOR YOU.......and they do it after one single email................
If corbin fisher ONLY went after the first guy, and thousands of people sent emails and they DIDN'T perform the exact same actions to each person in turn, could they be accused of prejudiced against the first guy?
In World of warcraft, theres several guilds with the name twilight that have existed for far longer than summit entertainment......wonder if they could sue?
whenever TAM posts, it would simply be easier to just have the next post say "OK tam has posted" then everyone forgets whatever he put...rather than allowing him his feeble attempts to derail the comments section with weird/paranoid/jealous rants....
How about the lawsuit gets held at a specific time of day?
Oh I don't know, say around the time the sun is just setting beyond the horizon and darkness is slowly moving in.
I'm not sure what we could call this time of day, perhaps nearly-darkness-not-quite-but-getting-there-light?]
There's probably a shorter name but it escapes me for the moment.......
If you don't have the imagination to have fun with what you already have, you are unlikely to suddenly gain the ability just because you have more money.
A bored person sitting there without money is going to be a bored person sitting in a slightly more expensive house...
This is why SOME (not all) that come into large sums go "off the rails".....they thought that with money suddenly comes the knowledge and ability to use it wisely.
1. Guy links to "infringing" content or shows where it can be obtained
2. Feds say this is naughty and illegal and he should be sent to bed without supper
3. Judge realizes that in their evidence, the Feds provide a "link" to the guys website where linking is a sin
4. Judge says "linking to linked content that is held to be infringement is also infringement". Judge bitchslaps the Feds
5. 2nd Judge says the first judge in his summary provided links to links that link to linked infringing content.......
6. Many years pass, Entire US court system is turned over to trying to find an end to the case, which is now four hundred thousand trillion "linkings" deep......
side note: ALL ISPs should have to maintain a speed test service on the ISPs network, so customers can verify their connection without the risk that a speed test site will be distant/bottlenecked by other systems....
Just mandate that whatever the package/speed it applies upto the legal instant that the data leaves your ISPs control and goes into the big bad world....as long as theyve done everything they can on THEIR systems...they can't do more.
BUT provide a way for a customer to complain about the section of network just beyond their own ISP, no compensation but nice to be able to contact people who control the other parts of the net.....
step 1. say something ridiculously stupid
step 2. say something ridiculously stupid
step 3. ..
step 22,406,312 say something ridiculously stupid
step 22,406,313 make the other partners insane demands seem reasonable by comparison........
Its a common trick:
if you try to pass a law saying "all babies must be insulted and swore at on sight"..no one will pass it.
instead try to pass a law saying "all babies must be thrown into the nearest incinerator on sight" and during the outcry, "reduce" your demands to simply making everyone swear at babies.....
This trick is how the DMCA got passed, its also how the Digital Economy Act got passed in the UK (original draft said long-term prison sentences for SUSPECTED infringers and everyone was quite pleased when it just said "possible future action"....)
Ghandi..Martin Luther King etc...they didn't really win because of what they said or did..they won because they exposed the enemy to utter ridicule...they proved how stupid what the other guy was saying:
Ghandi proved that the British "civilizing" India by murdering as many women and children as possible and raping the rest was worse than what went before..and proved how barbaric and stupid the British were being.....
Martin Luther King proved that the idea that one persons outer surface contains chemicals that absorb slightly more photons than another persons means one person is "better" than the other was one of the most stupid ideas in history, and that anyone that believed it was obviously a moron....
The battle with the RIAA, MPAA etc won't be won on arguments...it will be won on the simple fact that the stuff they do tends to prove they have a lower than usual intelligence level when it comes to economics. In a few short years, the current lawsuits by RIAA/MPAA etc will be as obviously silly as their "don't copy that floppy" video........
he stole energy....basically when he inserted a USB key, a tiny amount of electrical energy was transferred into the stick as the data was written to flash
(even though far more kinetic energy is transferred into the PCs case if he shoved the key in hard!)...
I say we execute him and then burn his corpse publicly, then use a steam turbine generator to get back that amount of electric energy.....and return it to the PC!
Also he may have used some oxygen near the PC for various biological processes WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION!!!!!!!!!
North korea, iran, iraq, libya,hell even the mighty and powerful empire of Belgium all had these cables leaked to them so long ago by paid-for insiders.........and its still going on today...but the US government doesn't want to acknowledge just how leaky the ship has become and instead of fixing the hole (or bailing the water out) is instead simply not letting anyone go onto the lower decks to see for themselves all the dead bloated corpses!
the only difference here is the PUBLIC (boo hiss!) got to see them as well as pretty much every single government on the planet.
