How is using bit torrent to obtain data that you would otherwise have to pay for any different from gathering up a thousand people, walking into Best Buy and walking out with all the music and software on the shelves? Because that would be theft!
the abbreviation for what's probably the most used shipping method. Just so you know, FedEx is an abbreviation for Federal Express, and UPS is an abbreviation for United Parcel Service. I'm sure you've never heard of those either, as they are both smaller than the USPS. I now think that you aren't just an idiot, but you are a liar as well. In other words USPS is not available out side of the United States.
As an Ignorant American I'm sure you are unaware that there is a world outside your boarders you are obviously uneducated otherwise you would know a few things about the planet you live on (Its round by the way) and realise that USPS is not the most commonly used method at all since so few people live inside the United States.
You have not only proven your self a child but also an Ignorant moron.

p.s Honestly you should stop posting now your only making yourself look bad!
Yup, idiot. I had it pegged. From your inability to use the USPS to your suggestion that false feedback against buyers is insignificant and would be ignored (despite the *fact* that's false), you have no concept of eBay and the buyers and sellers there. Tell me how many Power Sellers read every feedback of every bidder on their auctions. I'll give you a hint, none. That you appear to be claiming otherwise makes you an idiot, a liar, and a fool. What is USPS? use ENGLISH I know its difficult for someone of your intelect.
You really need to grow up and act like an adult IF you are one, which seems less and less likely with every post you make. If I were you I would simply refrain from posting and spare myself the humiliation of looking like an arrogant douchebag.
Just exactly why would the end user want what is essentally hardware DRM? With "pirated" chips the customer had paid for the chip while when you "pirate" music you usally get it for free. With these "pirated" chips you think you actually have a legit product (and really, if it works and is cheap who cares) that is unlike "pirating" music where most people know that its not 100% legal. I would rather get the pirated version.
Pirate versions are usually superior because they don't have DRM this is especially true for music.
This phone home concept works on the idea that the Internet is always available this is an outdated idea the Internet is slowly being closed up and becoming less accessible with censorship taking hold even without censorship why should you have to rely on the Internet just for some circuitry to work?
Any organized crime syndicate worth their weight is going to understand how to encrypt data and use hidden volumes. With the seven day limit, that only allows for a cursory search and not the kind of in depth forensic combing it would take to actually find actionable data. So in the end, the only people actually harmed of it are ordinary citizens who are having their rights abused by heavy handed searches. That's the whole point!!!
Since when does Australian law enforcement go after criminals?
Do you think that a scammer seller that never ships anything should get negative feedback? If so, how is the buyer that was defrauded supposed to leave that feedback without getting negative feedback left by the scammer seller? When you can explain that under the current eBay system, then I'll think you something other than a complete idiot. Wow I would have thought adults could communicate without resorting to name calling, I actually thought people left it in the school yard once they reach puberty perhaps I was wrong but then again with the Internet you never know who your talking to you could be a child your certainly acting like one.
You should always leave honest feedback is that so hard to do? So what if you get a negative feedback? One negative is not going affect your reputation I actually READ peoples feedback and its pretty easy to tell which party was in the wrong not just by what they say about each other but also their history with other eBay users. If I ever get scammed Ill leave honest feedback and if the scammer responds with "SCAMMER BEWARE!!!! DONT DEAL WITH" then that makes THEM look bad and on the rare occasion that they might be capable of leavening plausible comments my history will show me to be an honest buyer and seller while theirs may be more dismal.
I'm not the one who supports fraud here I believe people should be accountable for their actions not be protected.
So any buyer who scams me is free to get away with the "Package never arrived scam"?
99% of scams are from buyers if you've ever sold something on eBay you'll now how keen buyers are to leave negative feedback without contacting the seller. Its bad enuth that they may do a charge back and get the item for free (This being on of the most common frauds going) without them being let off Scott free.
Go back and READ EVERYTHING I have said if you did you would realise that Im a buyer and I oppose my own ability to commit fraud.
Just because YOU may commit fraud it doesn't mean we all do and most of us are happy to be held accountable for our actions.
Well, as someone that had never heard of overpriced shipping, dosn't know how to get cheap delivery confirmation from the USPS and has never heard of retaliatory feedback, I had to assume you were a complete idiot, a liar, or had never been to eBay. Since you've eliminated the last, which of the first two should I select for my opinion of you? Its surprising how childish some slashdot users are I suggest you go back to myspace.
Retaliatory feedback is a good thing because it keeps fraudulent buyers in check, you don't reduce fraud by removing consequence's.
If you not a scammer why do you fear retribution for your actions?
I rip all DVDs I rent from the video store as for torrents appearing online before the street date if you think of how many DVDs are distributed its inevitable that a few will disappear and allot of torrents are still made from legal purchased copies but its impossible to measure that with any accuracy.
$5 normal shipping and about $9 to go registered all registered mail does is prove that someone signed for it at the destination hardly proof of delivery.
So what if I block the charge back? They have still gotten away with it since I cannot leave any feedback they are free to do it again and I'm left with a damaged reputation.
eBay sellers if I recall need to be verified so its not as simple as throwing an account away we also rely on our reputation to sell things.
Oh don't give me that, if you have an account with UPS you can track whether your customers signed for their packages. You just want to play up the "scam" so you don't have to deal with customers who legitimately didn't get their packages. You seem to have the same attitude as these buyers who leave negative feedback without ever contacting the seller.
Tell me why my 100% feedback should suffer just because a package didn't arrive! I don't courier the parcels myself so I offer no guarantee of delivery.
Buyers never contact sellers over problems sellers need to be able to retaliate to negative feedback from problematic buyers to protect themselves and other sellers.
Why, do you fear retribution for your actions?
As both buyer and seller on eBay I fail to see why one party should have free reign to do whatever they wish without punishment for committing fraud.
~Dan
p.s I'm not accusing you of anything here I apologise if it reads that way.
Its not just the power sellers but all sellers aka ebays customers.
We are upset that our customers can so easily commit fraud with the all to common "It never arrived" tactic and all the other crap we sellers must put up with from buyers with disposable accounts. Without sellers ebay has not business we pay the fees that keep them operating and this is how they repay us.
Education is the key people need to be better educated about domains and their extensions. Most people I know don't get domains wrong my email is a.net there is a.com of the same name but everyone seems to get my domain correct.
I suspect that an email about data being sent to a public URL may have been seen as cryptic to whatever administrator ended up with the information. I wouldn't count on it Government departments don't seem to like encrypting data as we have seen in the past with the theft of laptops.
If I received classified information I would post it to wikileaks that would get them to fix the problem pretty quickly.
The question is one of whether MediaSentry can be trusted that the evidence produced was gathered in a means that is in accordance with law, and that does not have flaws in methodology that could cause the evidence produced to be incorrect.
