Up until just now, my eyes kept sliding over the "Hogan" after "Hulk", and I thought the whole thing had to do with the Incredible Hulk. And now I'm kinda disappointed.
Before, they specifically said that the Alan Cooper who turned up in court, the one who was a caretaker, WAS NOT the Cooper in charge of their company.
Lutz could say that the only contact info he has for Cooper is a phone number, and that Cooper simply isn't answering his phone or responding to messages left on his answering machine. Of course, if he said that, the judge would want to know the phone number, would be able to determine the address the phone number belonged to, and from there...
If he wanted the Cooper issue to permanently go away, he could do a variation on the above: the only contact info he had for Cooper was his phone number, and that number was on his smartphone. Except that, oops, his smartphone got damaged to the point of destruction (or got stolen), and double oops, he never synced up his smartphone with his computer. So sorry, your honor, but Cooper is now and forevermore unserviceable.
Of course, the second would certainly get him contempt of court, but if the alternative is worse...
By default, BitTorrent trackers record the source IP address from the request as the actual address of the peer to be delivered to others. But, some BitTorrent tracker implementations support an optional extension to the peer request message that allows requesting clients to specify a different IP address that the tracker should record in its list of peers instead. This is intended to provide support for proxy servers and peers/trackers behind the same NAT.
in which Barbara Streisand sued a photographer for taking an aerial photograph of her house, as part of a project to photograph the entire California coastline from a helicopter (to study the impact of erosion). It was crazy to think of that as a privacy violation, and the court clearly agreed, siding with the photographer over Streisand.
Wasn't Streisand's issue that her house was labelled as being her house, rather than it being anonymous like all the other photos?

as well as your shots at Mike regarding his defense of Google (which purposefully ignores the numerous articles directly criticizing Google and actions undertaken by them).
Silly, it's the fact that he defends Google at all that's the problem. </sarcasm>
But now, when faced with the potential to say something on behalf of the artist to defend this pro-publicity gambit, you don't hesitate to go negative on the artists. Whammo. Even asking for attribution is being greedy and selfish.
But the artist didn't merely ask. If he'd just asked for attribution, I doubt that Tim would have cared. Instead, he:
1) Started out with a threat of lawsuit.
2) Threatened to get their Twitter account yanked (which meant he was either lying, or hadn't bothered to read Twitter's ToS).
3) Lied about being a part of Knopf Publishing.
4) Lied about Twitter setting up multiple accounts for him.
And yet there you were grousing and complaining when Slashdot was grabbing your stories without attribution. Sheesh.
Did he threaten to sue Slashdot, or threaten to get their ISP to yank their connection? If not, I don't see how they're comparable.
So, if this sort of thing turns out to work, would it mean that if one country accepts the patent, the other has to accept it as well? Or does it go further, so if Mexico, the U.S. and Canada all decline to grant a patent, does the company get to sue all three countries to force them to accept the patent?
