Court Allows Webcam Spying On Rental Laptops
tekgoblin writes "Back in May there was a class action lawsuit filed against the rental company Aaron's, which had secretly installed spying software that would turn on a laptop's webcam, take pictures and then send them back to the company. Overall it seemed like a large invasion of privacy, which should at least warrant an injunction to stop use of the software until the case is settled, right? Not to the judge, who refused to order an injunction on the grounds that the family was no longer in possession of the laptop. As for everyone else still using their Aaron's laptops, the judge had this to say to them (PDF): 'Moreover, it is purely conjecture that the other members of the putative class will be subjected to remote access of personal information.'"
So, when are you Americans going to exercise your Second Amendment rights and just shoot this bastard?
In practice, second amendment rights only apply to Dick Cheney.
We're in that awkward stage where it's too late to vote them out but too early, to shoot them.
Did you think before posting this comment? That what you wrote is just sick. Do you have you own children?
Sick, indeed. Better to butcher and eat them as babies, anyway.
I am not a crackpot.
