  on Cops Aren't Just Submitting DNA Samples To Genealogy Services; They're Also Obtaining Customer Info
  Or perhaps you end up under suspicion because you're a close match and end up being falsely charged and your life is turned upside down trying to clear your name.
  
  But that's crazy, that could never happen!
  
  Personally, I just don't trust anyone to maintain my privacy well enough, and I've got enough personal data floating around in cyberspace.

  on Portugal Pushes Law To Partially Ban DRM, Allow Circumvention
  I think that went out of style around the time when people stopped being citizens and started being consumers.

  Re: Double Jeopardy

  on Should A Court Allow A Case To Disappear Entirely Because The Person Regrets Filing It?
  Would double jeopardy even apply here? Isn't it about the govt's ability to try someone more than once for the same crime? There doesn't seem to be any constriction on private citizens' ability to continue suing someone over and over, if some of the cases here on TD are any indication.

  Freudian slip, perhaps?

  on What Is Ron Paul Thinking? Sues To Unmask Anonymous Internet Users
  I'm Canadian, so I don't have a dog in the hunt, but I've always found Ron Paul honest and admirable. Still, it does seem out of character for him to sue. The only reason I can see to go ahead with this suit is to possibly unmask the uploaders as being connected with Jon Huntsman himself (there is some evidence).
  
  Still might be unwise though.

  "who just handed over the info" (as SandraF)

  on Kudos To Twitter For Not Just Rolling Over When The US Gov't Asked For Info
  "Of course, it also makes you wonder who else the feds issued similar orders to... and who just handed over the info."
  
  I would think Amazon, Visa and Mastercard would be high on the list (of those who just handed info over). And perhaps B of A.
  
  Just guessing though.
