  Had the exact same thought myself.

  Her name is Isis

  on FBI Harassing Core Tor Developer, Demanding She Meet With Them, But Refusing To Explain Why
  That's more than enough reason for these guys. If a check with "Isis" in the memo field sets off alarms, then someone with that as their actual name will receive 20X the scrutiny.

  I called the MPAA and told them that shillbot #138529 is acting up. They're fixing it now.

  I suppose we should be happy it wasn't a standard grenade, given their proclivity to shoot to kill first and ask questions later.

  If the sex tape gawker had posted of hulk hogan had been recorded with his consent, I might have been on your side. As it is, fuck gawker, let them burn.

  At least they didn't win.

  on DOJ To Court: We Got Into The iPhone, So Please Drop Our Demand To Force Apple To Help Us... This Time
  I don't want to think about what would've happened had they won the fight.
  
  Silicon Valley would've likely have seen a mass emigration. The effects from that on economy would've disastrous.

  Archive.is?

  on What Should We Do About Linking To Sites That Block People Using Ad Blockers?
  You guys could just link to the archived articles. Go to archive.is, copy-paste the url, and give the crawler a minute to work its magic.

  They did get pissed off at Ellen degeneres for showing some old technology to kids, claiming she should've given them credit.

  So by this court's logic....

  on Prosecutors Say Cops Don't Need Warrants For Stingrays Because 'Everyone Knows' Cell Phones Generate Location Data
  We all know what goes in the toilet, so can the cops walk into the bathroom stalls and collect your "waste" shall we say?

  on Montana Newspaper Decides To Just Delete Old Comments After People Get Upset About Plans To Reveal Their Names
  Especially if the old comments were to refer to the other posters by name. Here onTD for example, you see us talking to "that anonymous coward" or "that one guy" And once that comment has multiple people replying, it becomes beyond confusing to figure out who's talking about who without the identifiable names.

  Re: Re: Say mike/Tim/anyone else over at TD?

  on Techdirt Podcast Episode 54: It Ain't Easy To Give Away $45 Billion
  Ok then, I regret asking though in retrospect, seeing as how I've gotten enough replies to fill the pacific ocean with. Or at the very least the Indian Ocean.
  
  Also I mainly stay loyal(to quote yourself past self in the article) because I enjoy hearing about the stupid and laughable legal threats you guys always report on. Always makes me laugh and wonder how the next person with a poor understanding of the legal system will make an even bigger mess of himself.

  Say mike/Tim/anyone else over at TD?

  on Techdirt Podcast Episode 54: It Ain't Easy To Give Away $45 Billion
  Out or random curiosity, what's your opinion(s) on GG Vs. Anti-GG? One of GG main focuses is ethics in journalism so I figured I'd might as well ask.

  Talked about this sort of thing recently on Twitter. Here's a longer version

  on Clueless Press Being Played To Suggest Encryption Played A Role In San Bernardino Attacks
  If you're going to try and use a tragedy to further your own personal political views/agenda, please go fuck yourselves. You are truly scum and are a disgrace and embarrassment to the human race if you talk about events like the attacks on Paris and misrepresent or outright lie in face of factual information to push your political narratives.
  
  I'm not just talking about the major media outlets when I say this. And if by some miracle you happen to be reading this Jonathan McIntosh, here's special shoutout to you. Exactly why he earns this shoutout: http://m.imgur.com/TtEXwCo
  
  Tried to use html tags to make post slightly prettier, but tags hate me, so fuck it.

  on Turkish Court Establishes A Special 'Expert Panel' To Determine If Comparing Prime Minister To Gollum Is An Insult
  As a general rule, I don't link to videos if I want to prove a point, I usually link an article, TD being a major example. Also I managed to completely miss where you said video. Brain is mothballing this days. If I link a video it's either because of a conversation about that one specifically, or the conversation is about jokes and really funny shit.

  Re: Enough spin to power a city

  on White House 'Responds' To Petition For Strong Encryption... By Asking For More Info From A Misspelled Ed Felten
  In fact, if you think encryption can be safely undermined raise your hand. Now everyone who raised their hand please write down everything a person would need to commit identity theft, SSN, PIN, DOB, on a piece of paper. Now leave that paper in the middle of your house with all the doors and windows unlocked.

  I generally only provide a link if I feel they make my point significantly better than I myself could. Also, taking the time to write paragraphs each time someone asks a basic question about copyright, censorship, patent law, ect, is an absolute pain in the ass.
