_...don't then argue in a different lawsuit a bunch of points that totally undermine your own lawsuit. I mean, unless you want to be called out as a raging hypocrite. _
Well:
"...Mr. Woods, a conservative actor."
He's that sort of conservative. With money. Bullshit and hypocrisy seem to be stock in trade for this hardly new but increasingly fashionable sort of "conservative".
"For example, a telepresence service tailored for the hearing impaired requires high-definition video that is of sufficiently reliable quality to permit users “to perceive subtle hand and finger motions” in real time."
That's a bandwidth issue far more than any prioritization issue. So how about they get on the damn ball with that. And when you paid for higher bandwidth, well, you have paid for priority already.
These people have always been full of crap, and this only reminds me of how cable ISPs used to overload their local loops and then whine about people using the service they paid for. (Only without any actual congestion problems anymore, which were only ever due to the bad practices of ISPs in the first place.)
The ISPs just need to make sure they follow the most restrictive clauses in the sum of all state laws and they don't need to be confused about anything. Problem solved.
That is actually why i was half expecting the article to be about someone renting out stuff they had stolen, or space in homes where people are on vacation or the property is between occupants, or someone stealing cars then operating them as a ride service.
Uh, no... First thing is, Tim Cushing isn't arguing the rest of the case. What these violent criminals did is irrelevant to the arguments they are making about stingray use which are specifically pointed out as being the more problematic ones.
I would also point out that your irrelevant notions of justice are completely in violation of the rule of law, and reflexively illegal internally to boot. So, who do you get to rape a rapist? That is seriously messed up and makes things worse. You either get another criminal to do it under state sanction... and then what, they get raped also, and so on? Or if not, now you have some other clearly warped individual out there. Or is this done by official employees of the state? Then you have a state guarded by the most vile and psychopathic individuals available. I think we already have enough problems with these sorts of things without institutionalizing them.
And let's not even get into completely false convictions.
"Giving someone a jail sentence or prison sentence is not punishment, it's more about making people feel superior about how they are so evolved from the rest of society."
Lolwut? It is partly about keeping them off the streets. (Including for crimes that really don't merit incarceration for any good reason, i will give you that.) It is also about revenge. You know, the sort of thing you like, only with a bit more of a patina of being "civilized". The system suffers from a multitude of other problems as well, but i cannot possibly see your version being an improvement.
I would like to see any cases brought forward which involved the issuance of NSL(s) avec gag orders(s), and see how many of them involve national security in any way.
Of course they will always make the self-referential arguments, and those about other "investigative techniques", as if these themselves cover the "national security" aspect.
Clearly they believe the same thing the ISPs wish to believe, somehow; that acting as a simple carrier when one also has a competing product to sell is a cost and supporting some other freeloading business.
OMG as if one is spent after writing a letter or taking some other action once.
You realize you can take the fight everywhere it can be fought? And as to "wasting time" (mentioned upthread): Surely you can't be serious. Is it that much harder to comment to the FCC than it is to _waste one's time here, writing endless screeds to the army of "leftists" who just don't "get it", even though you have told us a million times?_ Who, pray tell, is then wasting time per their own definition?
One does not stop fighting because the current administration is harder to deal with. I didn't find the previous administration a compelling place to lodge arguments, either. Or most any of them, really.
And defended when they do. And drag down with them most of the ones who didn't start out bad. They get to find out how the system works like everyone else who didn't see or believe it before: The hard way.
When you choose to be a cop because you need an outlet for your authoritarianism, i don't suspect anything will change your behavior much. But a real discussion and some training and maybe laws will help those who aren't authoritarian type to have more power in some departments
