Looking at the ND criminal trespass code, either law enforcement told her to leave, the people in charge of the property told her to leave, or the SAG is stretching the definition of a highly secured area.
This types of unconstitutional actions will continue until the enforcement officers performing them have to pay out of their pocket for it. As long as they can claim immunity, or they thought the law allowed them to do it, etc... they have no incentive to stop.
And some people say Verizon isn't an innovative company...look at all the innovation it took to threaten their techs for providing decent customer service.
Verizon, and every other legacy media or telecommunications company, is VERY innovative.
After all, it takes a lot of innovation to figure out how to charge your customers more while giving them less all the while saying it is better for the customers.
It takes innovation to get a contract with the government, fail to complete the contract terms, and say that you've met the requirements (fiber optic roll outs).
It takes real innovation to consistently provide your customers horrible customer service in new ways so you can keep in the running for worst company awards.
Damn Constitution and rogue judges keep getting in the way of the police state. It will be anarchy I tell you...anarchy if law enforcement must follow the law part of their job titles.
So less than a month after getting all of your games yanked from the platform whose users you were suing for leaving bad reviews, your company is "utterly destroyed"?
What, did you really think people were going to keep giving you money and buy your games so you could sue them?
Seems like fiscal planning wasn't a strong suit of the company, given that the loss of income was a foreseeable result to anyone whose been on the internet for more than two minutes.
Let's face it...the only part of the Constitution that either candidate really cares about is the minimum requirements to get elected. Everything else, especially the Bill of Rights needs to be modified in their opinions. The War on Terror, the War on Drugs, the War on Encryption, or even the War Against Butthurt will serve as their justification to further erode what little Rights we have remaining.
Probably shouldn't give the the idea, but I'm willing to bet that California enforcement officers will consider a traffic violation conviction all that is needed to meet this new requirement.
Improper lane change? That's an asset forfeiture.
Speeding? That will cost you your vehicle and all your cash.
Actually, the City is just trying to set a precedent to DMCA any videos of their police department they don't like. That way, the next time an "unofficial" video of a police shooting emerges, they can DMCA away.
Yeah, Oracle is upset Google wouldn't pay them untold billions to license something Oracle never invented but only purchased years after Android was introduced.
I'd be willing to bet that this lawsuit would have never, ever been brought if Android had been a financial flop for Google.
I'm betting that before the ink is dry on this decision, it will be quoted by legacy media companies, bit torrent trolls, and anyone looking to censor a critic by removing their 230 immunity.
If Oracle wants to remain relevant by using litigation, then maybe it's about time they go the way of another company that tried that...SCO. Maybe they can even hire Darl McBride to guide them.
Actually, they're just looking for the "backdoors" that Director Comey wants. Of course, this is the same guy that says duct tape protects him from webcam hackers.
Unfortunately they'll just pass the cost of the penalties on to the consumer while adding those costs into the "piracy costs us billions" arguments.
I still like the idea of notice and staydown when applied to their own sites. WB should have been de-indexed from all search engines. Kinda hard to point consumers to legitimate content when they can't find it via a search engine.
Maybe the solution is to make it so that if they issue so many bad DMCA takedown notices over their content, when they reach a certain number (i.e. 100 bad takedowns) that content is automatically and irrevocably released into the public domain. This would have the three-fold effect of increasing material in the public domain (which is where all copyrighted material should eventually end up0; force the studios to pay more attention to what their proxies are doing; and give them an incentive not to issue bad takedowns. It could even be construed to count Fair Use takedowns against them.

Unless we can find out how the complaint originated, I can't answer that yet.
