...you're saying that when Alexander asked whether the banks minded him spying on them they said no. They were in the lucky position of being asked. Mere mortals like you and me don't have the luxury of being asked, it just happens whether you want it or not.
The reason they talk about The Sun on Radio 4 is because it is at the heart of Murdoch's ability to determine which political party is elected next. If Cameron caused The Sun to fall foul of his poorly thought through censorship system it would be political suicide. So he has to invent an illogical line in the sand that allows their topless models and occasionally salacious content, but disallows things that would increase his political capital.
When he says something will or won't be censored, this means nothing. He has no say over the details of how each ISP runs their censorship. He's just saying whatever seems like the right answer to him at the time that will keep him in power.
In this article in The Sun today they are clearly firing a warning shot across his boughs. He's lost their support even though he's saying The Sun won't be censored.
...in the last paragraph "Making sure the foxes guarding national hen house answer to a different fox does very little improve the hens' existence, and even less to deter the predatory nature of their "guardians."
When they say that people who infringe IP are terrorists, isn't that just the same as when the police shout "stop resisting" when they're aggressively subduing someone who isn't resisting arrest?
I recently had the cracked screen on my iPad replaced in a local repair shop. This is in England, and cost me GB£80. If I had got Apple to fix it the cost would have been a billion times that. I knew it wasn't a genuine Apple screen, and the glue they used to stick it all back together hasn't proved to be anything like that used by Apple, but it was very much a deliberate act on my part to not engage Apple and their stupendous pricing in getting my device repaired.
$275,000 to a Muslim heathcare center in Detroit
$150,000 an Arab American Museum in Dearborn
$25,000 to the lead plaintiff
$250,000 for attorney's fees
Why would anyone be surprised that the lawyers did everything they could to get Moughni to shut up and stop complaining.
If home.dk think that The Home Office are a commercial competitor, then yes, they can be expected to misuse this misguided web blocking system. It's just corporate protectionism.
I wonder whether the story of Pastor Mimi Asher has something to offer - she dismantled a London gang by feeding them and showing motherly love.
I appreciate there are a million differences between this and radical terrorists, but the idea is to confront something you hate with love instead of more hate.
After hearing that the prime minister of New Zealand gave away $150,000,000 of public money to Warner Brothers in exchange for a toy sword so that they can be freed up to earn $3,000,000,000 from The Hobbit I think you'll agree that we shouldn't castigate Richard O'Dwyer - relative to that little bit of trickery he ranks somewhere between Mother Teresa of Calcutta and the Archangel Gabriel.
Is it possible to simply apply a "Mike" filter when I'm browsing the comments on Techdirt. Every comment that starts "Mike" seems to be written by some fucking nutter who should go out and get a proper job.
As for me, I'm going to go back to the important job of stacking the cat muzzle shelf at the Glastonbury Tor gift shop.
The IQ Block Country Wordpress plugin allows you block traffic relating to a particular country. As a form of protest it would be pretty easy for people to deny visits to their website from people in Germany.
At last!
So
Typo
Cameron may have already have hoisted himself on his own petard

Words seems to be missing...
I don't get this...
Stop resisting!

Here is an infographic explaining why the lawyers should have received more.

It is a matter of the greatest regret
