The deliberative process privilege protects the decision making processes of government agencies by encouraging open and frank discussions on policy matters among subordinates and superiors.
"If people in the government who discuss issues of transparency knew that what they said could be publicly viewed, it would discourage them from discussing how to oppose and hinder transparency."
Is there any other way to interpret invoking the deliberative process privilege? Because I can't think of any.
Okay, "specific content watched or accessed by the subscribers" and DMCA notices might reveal more stuff they could send threatening letters over (and hence make more money), but what possible use could they make out of information on bandwidth usage and bills?
And after Mr. Carreon was finally served, he tried to threaten his way out of being held responsible for his baseless threats by making an additional threat to sue the employer of plaintiff's lead counsel, unless counsel induced his client to settle on the terms that Mr. Carreon demanded....
1) Wait, what? Anyone have a link?
2) Surely doing something like that must be against the bar's ethics rules.
If the FBI became aware of the assassination plot, they must have some idea as to who the plot is aimed at, yet they didn't bother to inform any of those people.
For it to be ruled unconstitutional, the Supreme Court would have to rule on a case. For there to be a case, someone would have to file a lawsuit. And for the lawsuit to actually get anywhere, the person filing it would have to have standing. That is, someone the government snooped on without a warrant and under authorization of FISA would have to sue; the ACLU (for example) can't sue just on the basis that they think it's unconstitutional, since they have no standing. And before someone can sue for that, they have to know that the government snooped on them under FISA without a warrant. And how is anyone supposed to find that out?

You still haven't explained what possible relevance that link has to anything to begin with, or what it is you're trying to achieve by advertising well-known public facts about a regularly used term.
So far as I can tell, his intent is claiming:
A) Mike regularly brags about having coined the phrase "Streisand Effect".
B) His life is so incredibly pathetic that all of his other life achievements pale in comparison to having coined the term "Streisand Effect".
Maybe their hoping to re-try the issue and have a different judge overturn the ruling by the first judge? IANAL, so I don't know if that would be possible.
Is there some sort of rule preventing Yahoo from putting up their own filings on the Web, or could they do it but they just don't think its worth the effort?
