  When will this end?

  on TV Network Declares IPTV Tool Copyright Infringing, Even Though It's Just A Tool

  A car can be used to aid in a bank robbery, ergo cars should be deemed illegal?

  Where is Amazon?

  on Another Day, Another Pile Of Voter Data Left Laying Around On A Public Server
  Not to minimize the incompetence of these shops, but it seems many of these breaches are of Amazon S3/AWS. I admit I know nothing about how Amazon sets up their cloud offering, but could Amazon help by making their offering more secure by default?

  Awesome idea

  on Canadian Music Industry Pitches 'You Must Be A Pirate' Tax On Smartphones
  This is a brilliant idea. I would gladly pay an extra $3.50 for my smartphone to pirate as much as I want.

  on Australian Government Continues To Push Encryption Backdoors It Refuses To Call Encryption Backdoors
  "As a society we should hold these companies responsible when their service is used to plan or facilitate unlawful activity."

  When I get caught speeding, the following should be held responsible:

  • the car manufacturer, for building a car capable of exceeding the speed limit
  • the gas station, for selling gasoline
  • the highway maintenance crews, for keeping the roads safe
  • the DMV, for providing me with a driver's license

  on Journalist Sues FCC For Hiding Details About Its Alleged, Phantom DDOS Attack
  "These actors were not attempting to file comments themselves; rather they made it difficult for legitimate commenters to access and file with the FCC."
  
  Ok then. Release the stats for how many comments were filed leading up to and during the attack. If it's a flat line, then the claim of a DDOS attack sounds *slightly* more believable. If there was a steady increase, chances are it was the flood of comments that took the system offline.

  Fake weapons...

  on Police Union Sues Toy Gun Maker For Not Doing Enough To Keep Cleveland Cops From Killing 12-Year-Old Boys
  Fake weapons don't put the anyone at risk, because they not weapons. What puts the community at risk is the over-reaction of the police who have real weapons.

  Make body cam usage required

  on If Police Officials Won't Hold Officers Accountable, More Cameras Will Never Mean More Recordings
  Too bad cops can't get their guns to malfunction as often as their body cams. They should be docked pay equivalent to the time their body cams are unable to record video. After all, if there is no evidence, how does anyone know they were actually doing their job?

  on DRM Is Evil, Part 8,492: Nook Pulls Out Of UK, Exploring Options To Let People Retain Access To At Least Some Books
  The government should force Apple, er, Barnes & Noble, to "nerd harder" and force them to figure out how to provide full access to all their books. Surely there are some smart people that can simply wave some magic pixie dust and undo all that evil DRM security.
