Ah yes the mighty alCIAda.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
“Pretty much anybody out there is infringing… It would be hard for me to envision that there are high-tech companies out there that don’t use some of the patents in our portfolio.”
If that does not indicate something is wrong with the system, I dont know what does.
When you cant innovate anything without infringing, there is a problem.
And if anything the opposite can be said about:
The primary purpose of copyright law is not so much to protect the interests of the authors/creators, but rather to promote the progress of science and the useful arts—that is—knowledge.
Not anymore. It is ammunition to stifle competitors, and stop others innovation.

Re: Re: Re:
The other reason the takedown party is listed is because, sometimes, in rare cases, the takedown isn't legit. Sometimes it's just a clerical error. Or maliciousness. Or a faulty algorithm. This way interested parties can contact the party listed if they feel the takedown is in error. Again, this is a rare occurrence, one that has only happened a handful of times. Like here, for example. And here. And here. And here. Oh, there's also this one. And this other time. Another rarity. Once-in-a-lifetime experience. Well below the expected margin of error. Nothing to see here either. Anomaly. Freak accident. Outlier. In short, it's a handy way to tell at a glance who took the video down and decide whether or not the takedown might be in error.

Do you know that the defendant actually confessed in 80% of the cases when people are exonerated by DNA. - citation boBBy boy.
"The IP address is better evidence than we used to convict many of the folks on death row." - So you agree the judicial system is fucked.
"So I think we'll be able to get beyond a reasonable doubt to prosecute these folks for "stealing"."

may be
I love to use those terms when I have no clue. I think It appears you do too, and most likely it may be your lack of rational thinking.
Yeah ok boB.
