  on Former Federal Judge Calls US Prosecution Of Megaupload 'Really Outrageous'
  This guy obviously had data on Megaupload himself and doesn't want to pay for getting it back. Freetard.

  The U.S. Economic interests

  on RIAA To Congress: We're Finally Innovating... Now Go Shut Down Pirate Sites
  Imagine if they actually succeed with the argumentation that stronger IP protection is needed to protect the U.S. economic interests. The engagement to protect might actually end up actively crashing the economy instead. The irony would be immense.

  Well...

  on US Government Gets 10% Royalty On 'Passion Of The Christ' Prequel In Plea Deal With Mexican Drug Cartel Money Launderer
  According to copyright science, this would clearly indicate that the US Government is now directly paid by the entertainment industry, in order to make way for more strict IP legislation. Not in the rational, objective kind of way, of course. More in the "combining random incidents with random numbers to indicate whatever causality we see fit for our case and call it science" kind of way.

  on FBI Stops Yet Another (Yes Another) Of Its Own Terrorist Plots; This Time: Anarchists!
  Well, without advocating violence, blowing up billboards on top of buildings would actually make sense in the Fight Club kind of way, I guess. At least it would be a powerful statement.
  
  But blowing up some random bridge in a national park somewhere? Who even came up with that idea? "Now that'll teach them to... not... drive in national parks". Even from an anarchistic point of view, I have a hard time seeing how this makes any sense at all.

  on Hurt Locker Producers Now Understand The Copyright Troll Shakedown Better: Sue 2,514 More Defendants
  Perhaps it's just me, but isn't this kind of business suicide by Charter Communications? If all other ISPs usually fight back, why would anyone chose CC as their ISP after this? Around here, it's usually people's tech friends who advise people on which ISP to choose. I'm already telling everyone I know not to use a certain ISP here, because they use deep packet inspection for blocking, whereas everyone just put in a silly DNS filter.

  Not only that, but...

  on Norwegian Security Service Wants Details Of Citizens' Web Comments Retained For Six Months
  In Denmark, the political parties even talked about actively hunting down people who express their hate on the Internet. This was a direct result of the Utøya shooting, apparently because people who think in the same way as Breivik post blogs and have message boards. It was quickly dismissed here though, as it's hard to figure out exactly what to use all that data for and proves some problems for democracy.
  
  When stuff like Utøya happens, people get scared and start calling for initiatives like this. They even mention Breivik in the article. Not that I agree this is a good idea but perhaps it can explain a bit why stuff like this is proposed.
