"A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client."
Given the Ayyadurai case, the "International" vs. Jezebel case and now this one, Charles Harder is providing some serious competition for "his own lawyer."
Patience. There have recent stories about compromising air-gapped computers. About malware and adware using ultrasound to communicate between phones, desktop computers and Amazon Echo type devices.
I'm still raising the funds to vacuum-gap my home.
Maybe not $76.34. But there are cases where people's bank accounts have been emptied by police. Given that this guy's cards were seized along with his cash, that may be the plan.
[T]he Oklahoma Highway Patrol has a device that also allows them to seize money in your bank account or on prepaid cards.
It's called an ERAD, or Electronic Recovery and Access to Data machine, and state police began using 16 of them last month.
Here's how it works. If a trooper suspects you may have money tied to some type of crime, the highway patrol can scan any cards you have and seize the money.
(Thankfully they need some reason to suspect that crime. Like your car being too dirty, or too clean. You being too quiet, or too talkative. You wearing clothes that are too grungy, or too fashionable. Etc.)
The California police on the other hand will probably have to take the hot dog vendor's card to the bank to empty it.
A couple stories ago I was thinking "I'm glad Comcast isn't in the food industry. They'd use the same regulatory capture to establish a monopoly on food."
That may not be what we're seeing here, but it certainly looks like what I envisioned.
Re: Goal is only drive into hiding, not openly posted under real titles.
You posted your comment for free. Without the advertising and product placement that has kept the free no-directly-paying-for-entertainment platform "television" running for 70 years.
Oh, wait; you're pushing a specific agenda. The other thing that has paid for television.
That's not an endorsement of piracy. My point is that non-direct-payment models work too.
BTW, how would you describe the business model of the site you're reading and commenting on right now?
Once filed in the FCC's rulemaking record, there are limits on the agency's ability to delete, change, or otherwise remove comments from the record. Doing so could undermine the FCC's ability to carry out its legal obligation, which is which is to respond to all significant issues raised in the proceeding.
If those comments on Net Neutrality can't be taken down, then neither can any comments that include links to pirated content. Heck, the same probably goes for any government site where citizens' submissions become public record.
I wrote in the Charles Harder / Shiva Ayyadurai Case Dismissed thread:
It takes mere dishonesty to claim other peoples' inventions as your own. But it takes a special blend of stupidity, self-denial, dishonesty and arrogance to do it for an invention whose real development is well documented, AND to keep doing it for years after your lies are publicly shot down.
That special blend makes for lucrative clients for dishonest attorneys to loot.
A guy who claims to be a bigtime "life coach" for women, who nicknamed himself "International" and runs an organization called "Superstar Machine", has that special blend.
This is about of looting this sort of person. Techdirt and Jezebel are collateral damage.

Don't worry. Visitors from other countries are being warned, just as they are for Mexico or Guatemala.

Re:
Not if they refuse to give it back.
The other side-effect of theft at badge-point is that the victim can't use that money to mount a legal challenge to contest the seizure.

Well Then.
Consider the recent Techdirt story "The FCC Insists It Can't Stop Impostors From Lying About My Views On Net Neutrality"
If those comments on Net Neutrality can't be taken down, then neither can any comments that include links to pirated content. Heck, the same probably goes for any government site where citizens' submissions become public record.
Let's hope no-one gives the pirates that idea.
