Five more cases. We need to donate tons to Adblock Plus (even if you don't use it like me). They are going to sue everywhere to try to drive the point via brute force. If ABP's resources dry and they can't defend themselves it's gonna be a problem.
This is one of those articles that you'll either hear that deafening silence from the anti-NN crowd or you'll be amused by their mental contortionism to defend their telco overlords.
Could the govt blatant disrespect towards the highest law in the land be considered an emergency so it can be instantly terminated and new elections called, please?
Ahem.
Other than that we know NTT will suck the govts balls. Time to switch providers Japan. (Hope they aren't in a broadband dystopia like in the US).
Maybe we should be grouping DNA with other tools to make such discoveries more reliable? Like you can't say some river is polluted if you only measure solids or pH. You need further testing to build a clear picture. Same with crimes. If there's doubt then the accused is innocent. Simple as that.
That's why I said possibly. It could be infringing on the trademark because the disks weren't original for instance. But even then it doesn't justify jail time.
Sure, he wanted to make it as close to the original thing as possible. Is it some sort of infringement? Possibly. Is it worth jail time? Definitely no. At best apply a fine and move on. I mean, punishment should fit the perceived damages the person caused. The worst he did was *maybe* mislead people into thinking they were official discs. No financial gain, nothing. So why jail time?
Actually, the last thing I stole was a Sony sound system that was, at the time, 23 years old. Mom whined but it didn't stop me. I told her: you have a brand new home theater that produces better sound. I'm a shameless thief.
Re: It's been said many times before, but it bears repeating
It's a trade off. Security for usability. If I ever go to the US I'll probably take a burner phone with a dummy account logged in but one may generally expect that inserting a password and using then letting the fingerprints do the rest in daily activities to be safe enough. I try to balance it. If I need further security I simply turn my phone off. Otherwise using fingerprints (after validating them with the passwords) seem good enough.
And when you think you've seen the lowest cops can go with the tased guy in a moving atv they manage to shock you a bit more. Then they ask "WHY U NO RESPECT US!" as if the reason isn't splattered all over the news.
Give them the hand and they'll soon demand life plus 75 years. The MAFIAA are a cancer that will do a lot of damage to culture, arts and specially progress before it's chopped out.
Given he was still employed after showing very clear signs he couldn't do his job responsibly maybe his superiors should be jailed as well for this murder. Start from the top and the bottom will get better.
While not a surprise, mentioning another almost universally hated 'service' like the TSA to justify making the almost universally hated telcos doesn't seem like a bright idea.
And honestly, if the TSA didn't impose so many pseudo-security measures there wouldn't be any use for the pre-check idiocy. And I go further: if you can bypass your goddamn security checks with some screening then they are useless. One can simply build a fake persona that will fit the pre-check requisites and just blow the plane after getting in.
Heh, the DMCA can go eat shit for all I care. At the very least I know some of my friends will want the original as well when they play it, even if it's a "lousy" pdf version.
