Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube are all LLCs (Limited Liability Corporation). Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean that he legally cannot include their CEOs in his lawsuit?

Don't most internet service providers have terms in their service contract that forbids you from sharing your internet service with neighbors and other people outside your household?
Maybe what happened is that Scott Pierson because Scott included a "you can't sue me neener neener neener" clause in his contract, and so she's suing Google because she feels she has to sue *somebody*
Are all of these courses that you need to register for and thereby meaning they are time-limited, or are they ones that you can complete on your own time and at your own pace?
Wait... I finally get it. I finally get why so many companies keep going on these boneheaded lawsuits even though they will eventually lose and it waste their time and money.
The reason they do it is BECAUSE they will waste time and money. Or rather, their lawyers tell them to go ahead with these ridiculous lawsuits because they (more than likely) have a contract that says they get paid per hour regardless of whether or not the lawsuit wins or loses, and so it is profitable for them to just tell their client to go ahead with every lawsuit.
There certainly isn't anything 'creative', though copyright seems to have multiple standards today. Either way, legitimate or not, Microsoft used the quickest and easiest tool they had to take down the product keys.
They could have simply invalidated those keys, though I think they may have already been registered by a legitimate user. Simply disabling them in that case could actually land them in hot water. In some places, such as Europe, it is illegal to disable a product that someone has already paid for.
Actually, what I had heard was radically different. I had spoken to a former Microsoft employee who I know, and he stated that what Microsoft had actually made the copyright claims against were the individual comments, and that google/youtube had screwed up by taking down the videos instead.
Ignoring the creepout factor and the ethics, this really begs one question:
With reporters, journalists, and newspapers so focused on reporting bad news (ie: "if it bleeds, it leads"), what affect is that focus going to have on society?
One of the sources I read stated that the signing key itself may have been recently changed. However, the original sources of the claims were not cited.

"It feels a bit ridiculous to hold Facebook to a standard far beyond what any other messaging service has."
People will hold the subjects of their hate to the highest of standards.
