Go to the web site "http://Georgia.gov"
type "laws" into the search box.
first topic is "Learning about Georgia Law", and that has a link to the free on-line official code.
How hard is that?

Or, you can goto "law.georgia.gov" and click "Legal Resources" to get to the free site.

LexisNexis is a contractor to the state of Georgia for this service, so it's not that some random company threw it up.
The deal with the state is that LexisNexis does the work of creating the annotations for the state and then provides it online for free in return for being allowed to sell the printed copies. No one does that for free.

The law itself is NOT copyrighted, but the annotations are. It's stated in the Term and Conditions.
This is actually a sweet deal for the people of Georgia because we get access to the annotations for free. This is a boon for people who don't want to pay a lawyer to do research or go sit in the library to read the copy there.

As for the link you gave, http://www.le.state.ut.us/Docu... it has an invalid certificate.
If you change it to http://le.utah.gov/Documents/c... , it's OK.

Utah's government web site, like almost every other state, does not provide annotations. You can buy an annotated copy of Utah law for $1800 from here:

In Georgia, we get ours online for free.

Sec. 4. [Religious liberty.] The rights of conscience shall never be infringed. The State shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office of public trust or for any vote at any election; nor shall any person be incompetent as a witness or juror on account of religious belief or the absence thereof. There shall be no union of Church and State, nor shall any church dominate the State or interfere with its functions.

Anyone who has lived here for more than a week will find this laughable. I don't know about the (elected) judiciary, but it certainly isn't taken seriously by the legislature or the executive branch. The governor's spokesman's statements are pretty clear on that ("Missionary style pornography will result in a fine or up to 30 days in jail, while pornography that involves any kind of homogayness, that being sodomy or Devil worshipping, will result in long-term prison sentences.") The governor himself made the following statements after signing this into law:

"This is a historic day for the good, clean-living, people who call the state of Utah home," Herbert told reporters. "This new law will protect our children and make our state pure from the heathens who go against God's will."

And you'd better clear your browser history when the cops come knocking. I doubt the NSA will help them, but local law enforcement is on board with this:

"I want to assure the good citizens of Utah that the brave men and women of law enforcement will be out in full force, tracking down porn offenders, and bringing them to justice," Sheriff Jim Tracy of Utah County said. "I can promise you this, those who we find breaking any porn laws will be seeing jail bars. This new law is about protecting our children and that is exactly what we plan to do."

Interestingly, the Utah Constitution conforms to Trump's standard for "libel":

Sec. 15. [Freedom of speech and of the press. Libel.] No law shall be passed to abridge or restrain the freedom of speech or of the press. In all criminal prosecutions for libel the truth may be given in evidence to the jury; and if it shall appear to the jury that the matter charged as libelous is true, and was published with good motives, and for justifiable ends, the party shall be acquitted.

How nasty ? Nasty as in 'it's a lot of fun before your liver falls out of you and you die in convulsions". And the basically incurable Echinococosis is only one example.

People who french kiss their dog make me throw up. OK, I'll get off my soapbox now.

I'm sure the telcos will try and use the courts to stop or cripple this service.

I'm sure. Comcast and Qwest did it to Utopianet in 2004 with S.B. 66 Fortunately it's expired and Cities are now starting to join Utopianet fiber. Qwest is currently involved in multiple lawsuits against Utopia. What's screwy is they were invited to join it along with Comcast. It's like public roads. You can choose to do business with any company or their competitor. I guess competition is something they simply can't stomach. Pity.

Some sample states:

Florida: In Fiscal Year 2004-05, it cost $18,108 a year or $49.61 a day to feed, clothe, house, educate and provide medical services for an inmate at a major prison, which is only $486 more per year than it cost the previous fiscal year. For more inmate cost per day information, go to http://www.dc.state.fl.us/pub/annual/0405/budget.h tml.

New Hampshire: "$28,000 annual per inmate."

Utah: It costs about $23,000 a year to incarcerate the average inmate.

Couldn't find Virginia, but let's be ridiculously conservative and say it's $10,000/year. Let's say he gets off on good behavior in 5.

Who's paying this $50,000? And who gets the half-million in fines, which I'm sure is pocket change for this guy?

Act to oppose it.

If their "brain is frying trying to understand the technology involved" (damn!) then the best thing to do is explain it to them, along with the consequences of a bad decision. One could, for example write to a legislator explaining the concept of a popup blocker and the extremely low likelihood of "just entering a search term" causing a "tornado of popups" unless the search term was "I want a tornado of popups to take down my machine".

One could also explain, if one lived in Utah, that one would think very very poorly of any elected official who let SCO of all people railroad them into trying to railroad some unworkable and useless ban on a perfectly legitimate activity (open hotspots) based upon no evidence other than frying brains and luddite morons.

One could also, perhaps best, explain the extremely negative economic impact such legislation would have in the short term (forcing otherwise acceptable mom n' pops to spend money preventing legal activities) and in the long-term by hurting Utah's efforts to modernize its infrastructure, attract new businesses and convince prospective high-tech employers and employees that it isn't a backwards theocratic nuthouse but a modern forward-looking state that values, among other things, freedom of speech and technology at least half as much as it values free guns.

The evidence presented was extremely slim, the witness statements all changed significantly, and several charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. In the end the jury only had a few charges left, but with hardly an hour of deliberation found my friend guilty on all of the charges. The judge noted, in court, that he believed the jury had come to the wrong conclusion and wasn't looking at the evidence, but merely reacting to the accusation. Because of minimum sentancing guidelines he was left with no choice and sentanced him to 25 years (parole possibility at 5).

After my friends family dumped their public defender and got a real lawyer he has a new trial up for scheduling soon. Assuming the new jury only hears the evidence not thrown out (things like testimony given during "play-therapy" and accusations from a person who's accused practically every man she's ever come in contact with of the same thing) he could be out of prison by the end of the year. The problem is, the damage has been done. He's been discharged from the navy, he's got 40k in student loans, 4 kids, and his reputation has been tarnished beyond repair. Any future employers who do a background check will never give him a second chance. He's trained as a nuclear reactor technician, but it's that's definately the kind of job that requires a background check.

Assuming he ends up spending the next 5 to 25 years in prison (and this the federal rape-him-in-the-ass, shiv-me-50-times-until-I-stop-moving, not-in-a-racist-gang-before?-you-are-now prison) he'll end up on the sex-offender registry. On there he'll be hounded by neighbors everywhere he lives. Neighborhood kids will pelt his house with eggs just because.

Assuming he doesn't kill himself inside prison (he's off the suicide watch now, thank god) he's not looking at a pretty shitty life whether he wins or loses.

For a good description of exactly the kind of thing that happened to my friend, read The Dark Tunnels of McMartin. This is probably the best site on the horrific media frenzy involving preposteruous claims by dozens of preschool students against their teachers (among other similar cases about sex abuse and the like). It started with one small claim, then it escelated. When the parents asked if the teachers had done bad things to them they made up stories in an attempt to make their parents happy. One of the absurdaties involved a tunnel for underground sex orgies and animal torture. If this sort of thing was brought up in a court about a car theft, the whole case would be thrown out. Because it was a think-of-the-children case, it was taken all too seriously by not just the court, but the media as well.

The truth is, child testimony is too easily coached. The only statements worth looking at are the original statements made. In the case of my friend, the original statement was that the girl had walked in on my friend masturbating. He was in a closed room at night. His wife was at a girls-night-out party, and apparently he got a little bored/lonely. He committed no crime, but because a child saw it things blew out of proportion. Even worse, she was less than three at the time and didn't really understand what she saw. However, as the years passed her parents kept pressing if anything else had happened. The constant bombardment of questions led to her changing the story and giving the police a statement that my friend wouldn't let her play a specific video game unless she touched him. Never mind the fact the video game in question didn't exist when the supposed event took place, but she would have been two at the time. She didn't play video games, and my friend didn't have the console to play it on, or a T

The article mentions the MA bill will be patterned on the Utah bill that was booted by that state's legislature in 2006.

If even conservative Utah legislators figured this would run afoul of the 1st Amendment, I'm not sure how this became an issue in Massachusetts.

This sort of bill tries to class violent material with pornography, and approach that has been disallowed by virtually every jurisdiction to have considered the question. The Utah text is even more bizarre, criminalizing the sale or exhibition to minors of anything depicting "inappropriate violence"--a more legally hazy term would be difficult to imagine, and the definitions in the bill did nothing to clarify it. Included in the definition of "inappropriate violence" is "graphic violence used to shock or stimulate." Doesn't this cover pretty much any depiction of violence imaginable? Why is violence depicted, if not to shock or stimulate in some way?

I don't have any real problem restricting the access of minors to this sort of material, but isn't there some way of doing it besides criminalizing the retailers? I mean, I'm sure we can count on responsible parents to step in and...oh, wait...

2. If you are in Utah, don't worry. I'm in Utah now, and guess one of the two will happen:

a. It won't pass the Senate, as legislative sessions here are remarkably short anyways (just a bill to get a little attention). It will simply die with time.

b. If it does pass the Senate, my money is on a "pocket" veto, pretty much just ignoring the bill. The Utah senate this year is farily tied up as it is.

In any case, here's the text for the bill and the ammendment for those interested. It'd be nice if the submitters included this information when they sent in an article on pending legislation.

Ok, after some RTFA-ing I discovered that the bill provided in the article summary is not the final version. This is the final version:

http://www.le.state.ut.us/~2005/bills/hbillenr/hb0 260.pdf

So in view of the final version yes it is true that ISP's have a choice to provide software instead of filtering at the servers, but guess what every single ISP will choose to filter at the servers because it will be much cheaper to do than support any kind of software at users' computers.

Also the law specifically states that a service provider is not allowed to charge people for blocking content for them, and can only increase the charges to ALL its customers. So they cannot just direct their customers to netnanny, unless they pay for it. Also the language about "commercially reasonable manner" pretty much requires the ISP to provide support for any software they give to the consumer because that is the commercial norm nowadays. There is an exception made for small ISPs less than 7500 customers but most people use ISPs that are larger than that. And even that exception is limited to the cost of software and does not include support costs, so the cost to the average customer of a small isp will increase as well.

And while the attorney general is required to publish the list he/she is NOT required to take any public input from what is on the list. Naturally the AG will be careful not to put the DNC or the GOP website on the list because the political fallout will hurt his career, but he can easily ban smaller and less popular websites. For example, websites that that provide support about homosexuality in a completely non-pornographic manner (i.e., providing education, and helping with the depression and other issues that trouble people with confused sexuality) are often victims of these schemes. And the AG of Utah can easily ban these sites without suffering politicaly at all.

This is a link of the final text of the bill as signed into law (I assume that is wghat "enrolled copy" means):

If it's already available, why are they passing a law to make it available? Also: The budget listed on the text of the bill makes no mention of DNS servers run by the state.

You were too hammered to know. :)

If you only had to show ID, then you went into a "tavern." Taverns can only sell 3.2 beer. No hard liquor.

And you're not supposed to be able to get "hammered." Bars are supposed to refuse to sell alcohol to somebody who is visibly "hammered" or else they are liable of the drunkard later injures somebody.

Utah legal code here: http://www.le.state.ut.us/~code/TITLE32A/htm/32A0F 003.htm

Actually, private clubs are required to have a liquor license, just like anyone else who sells liquor in Utah. They also have to have a class D "private club" license, in order to sell beer. Utah Dept of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

While it's true that there is a limit as to how many of each type of license is out at any time, It's difficult to obtain any of these licenses, so I'm not sure what you mean by "loophole."

I'm also LDS, or Mormon.

For example, when the gay marriage proposition was up for vote in California, the Mormon church organized a massive door-to-door campaign to try to deny the gays their right to marry.

Your parent poster said "except where a serious moral issue is involved", which this is.

Being a Democrat in the Mormon church all but seals your prospects of holding influential positions in the organization.

James E. Faust is the 2nd Councelor in the First Presidency, which translates roughly into "3rd in command". He is Democratic.

I have never once been in an Elder's Quorum meeting where they passed around anything like that.

Unfortunately, enemies often are convinced of the truth of half truths, so they are not good sources of information.

It's already passed. It's just waiting for the governor's signature. And if you think that the Mormon governor of mostly Mormon Utah is going to go against the mostly Mormon legislature on an anti-porn measure, you're crazy.

If you RTFB you'll see that it allocates $100,000 to the Utah Attorney General to do exactly that.

1 - Create and maintain a database of sites with content harmful to minors that do not restrict minors from viewing the content.
2 - Make that database publicly available.

Umm, Novell is based in Utah too you know. :)

With the new law, Utah State no longer has any say the matter. So, there's at least one!

Also, in many states it is not a crime to carry on-campus against university rules. You can be charged with criminal trespass only if you refuse to leave school property if you are found out. Check your states laws though, because in some states doing so can land you in the pokey.

Do we know which parts of the law they are challenging?

Take a look at part 2:

(1) A person may not:
...

(c) use a context based triggering mechanism to display an advertisement that partially or wholly covers or obscures paid advertising or other content on an Internet website in a way that interferes with a user's ability to view the Internet website.

Nothing about consent in there. IANAL, but it seems like they can't "obscure" web pages even if you are crazy enough to want them to. That seems to me a step too far (the stuff about no spyware without proper consent is great).

Might I suggest that you spend some time learning about what 'theft' is.

I don't know about him but I've done that.

Where does this idea that it has to 'deprive' someone of something come from?

I guess that question is your way of admitting that you have not spent any time learning about what theft is :)

Here are some links you might want to start with :

Another dictionary definition of theft

The meaning of theft is very well established. A key part of it is intending to deprive the righful owner of their property.

Actually selling below cost is not illegal.

In some states it is. For example, this Utah law prohibits it--though it may not apply to microsoft as the law only speicifies retailers or wholesalers.

I found the Utah law here.

It looks like you still have to opt-out, so I'm not sure how effective this law will be at stopping spam. One good point, it seems to make forging headers illegal.

As far as I know, hard porn is only banned from being produced and sold in Utah, not from out of state. Since IANAL, the relavent laws can be found here. If any legal types wish to throw interpretations into the mix, feel free.

Sounds like there's a "chilling effect" going on (but I may be mis-using that term, not being a lawyer and all), and it's pissing me off. If I had the resources, and if I had a case to sue, I might take it up. As it stands now, I must slink off to the Wyoming or Neveda borders to get my fix.

Yes, I live in a state where a 40-year-old virgin morman woman is setting the bar for community standards in decency. Search for "Paula Huston" or "Utah porn czar". Sheesh! Yeah, like she is the typical resident of Utah.

"Gotta love that pair of canards. For the first - the votes have been reviewed _exhaustively_ at this point. Based on the standards Gore and the DP wanted to use, he lost. Period. He would have lost _even if_ every ballot had been counted to his standards."

Unfortunately for Gore in the flurry of demanding recounts he and the DP only asked for the counties that they thought would help. Turned out it didn't, but a further recount of other districts showed that he would have won the state.(Source Time Magazine, I forget which issue).

"The electoral vote system, as it stands, is as fair and reasonable as any other solution. It's also the agreed-upon solution (what, you don't like living in a republic?). Don't like it? Try either of the following: - convince enough people to change the system - get your friends out and voting. 40% of the electorate stayed home last time."

Here you have an excellent point, if it had been smoothly and properly done. However many people below the age of...say, 35 years old will look at this further display of muddled "Republic" style governing and say "What difference does it really make anyway. Whomever "they" want in office is going to be there regardless." We have long since and I mean long since departed from real democracy in this country if ever it was real. No sooner were voting rights expanded to include other people besides rich, white, land(or slave)owners than the voting process no longer mattered and the electoral college made up mostly of those rich white (male) land(slave) owners still made the decisions.

I'm not saying that Clinton or any other president (JFK for instance) necessarily had the nation's popular vote to win. I just think that it makes us not much of a "By the People, For the People..." kind of place. I don't want to see Al Gore in office much more than George Jr. but the process and perception that our votes matter makes me laugh.

They're durable. Books can be burned or soaked, but short of that they're remarkably hard to destroy. Books from centuries ago have been preserved and read, despite the aging fragility of the paper; I can't even emulate computer software that was written forty years ago.

For the last 100 years or so, most books have been printed on acidic paper that doesn't last nearly so long. Here are some 19th century Dickens novels that are already too brittle to read. Apparently alkaline paper is no more expensive than acidic paper now, though. The Alkaline Paper Advocate appears to have far more information than you could ever want about this.

Even with 118 cases opened for investigation, that's still well under .01%. Granted this is just the official investigations by the State of Utah's Department of Insurance Fraud, I don't know if this includes the insurance companies internal investigations, but I couldn't locate any data on that. I will agree that there is some fraud that goes unchecked, but I'm just going by the "official" data I found. Everyone can speculate on how much fraud is really happening, but it's only speculation.

While the Coalition against Insurance Fraud claims that 10% of all auto and home insurance claims are fraudulent ($79 billion per year they say), my quick review of the IRS data on the issue just doesn't seem to support that claim.

Considering the fact that in the State of Utah, there were an astounding 61 cases of insurance fraud in 1999 alone! WOW! 61 cases of fraud in one year coming from a state with 2,129,836 people. That's less than .01% of the population commiting insurance fraud.
