As I pirate with over 50GB of pirated songs on CD (I had allot of free-time at one stage) I am not at all affected by these fraudsters. Piracy has also been morally justified to the highest possible level. In fact it seems unethical to pay for music because in doing so you are aiding and abetting fraud.
Of course you can get away with it so long as you do not violate the court order. If the court forbids you from putting that age up then you cannot, otherwise there's nothing wrong with it.
The number on your Drivers license is not just some useless number, people can invade your privacy simply by having it. Such as access to your driving record. The problem is not someone checking your ID it's when they record it for later abuse.
How exactly do bouncers plan to ban people using their drivers license, if someone wanted to ban me from a pub I certainly would not hand them my license.
There is a big difference between going to the press to complain about your company and posting the complaint/opinion on twitter or a forum.
Discussing something online outside of work hours is no different than talking out in the street, people can still hear you as they pass by but you haven't asked someone to "Spread the word" as you would have done if you contacted a media outlet.
I might be missing something, too, but I've seen a vocal minority of Obama supporters assuming that if you disagree with Obama, you must be racist against blacks. Some of us prefer disagreeing with Obama for his actual statements, policies, and actions, without regard to race, but some people think that Obama is so infallible that they think the only reason to disagree with him is because he's black.
Those people are just being childish. It's like when your a kid and you insult each other when there's a difference of opinion.
I once praised Hitler for his genius and some people, who apparently never grew out of their childhood quickly accused me of supporting the holocaust. The failure to understand is mostly at their own loss. Nothing discredits you faster than when you accuse someone by failure of your own understanding.
Here in Australia a Christian lobby group accused Free-Speech supporters of advocating pedophilia, this action only served to damage their own reputation and provide further ammunition to the Free-Speech supporters and Atheist groups.
So, there's no difference, in the same way that the printing press was really just a minor improvement over scribes. Yup, no big deal at all!
The printing press allowed for mass distribution where scribes didn't. However both Usenet and social network allow mass distribution. It's like the difference between a newspaper (Usenet) and a magazine (Facebook/Myspace).
"We're a sue first, ask questions later kind of an organization". That sums it up. It's just another lawsuit-happy guy who ought to get his wrists slashed for a frivolous case, unless the defendant rolls over and pays some symbolic fine, which is likely to happen, a la RIAA.
It's as retarded as saying "Crashing your car may effect you in Real-Life" How about "Spending all your money on eBay will affect your finances in Real-Life"
Some tourist's may not have drivers licenses, in fact allot of the general population don't drive.
Plus a person may have their license suspended, which would be a problem if it is a long term suspension as the plastic card would expire.
Showing ID is not a problem but if bar owners want to record information they should foot the bill to implement a system that is less prone to abuse an exploitation.
Do you need to get your smartphone out to type stufff? Does it have voice recognition? Do you have an input device in your pocket that you can use without looking at it? Does it track your eye movement?

Too polite.
Whats wrong with simply pirating what you lost? You did pay for it after all.

You go to court for traffic offenses?!?!
That's what happens when companies hire incompetent IT staff.
I have a 100% guaranteed way to stop spam from reaching the mail sever.
Unplug the dam thing!
Can't remember the last time I actually saw one of those.
Simply give every club card a unique number.

The system I proposed would only record names, D.O.B and a photo.
That's ALLOT less than including the persons home address and drivers license number.
Some places currently record finger prints and voice prints as well as video, photo and the drivers license.
Why would you go quiet after getting fired?
I would publish EVERYTHING I possibly could.

You fail.
If you weren't AC I would sue you for wasting my valuable seconds.

I would like to see someone threaten gamers in-game with lawsuits.

There fixed that for you.
The internet is real life!
Who started this "Real life" bullshit?

Is there a Tree, Pole or Bus-stop in your path?
how is a smartphone not a wearable computer?
Because it fits conveniently in your pocket not making you look like an arse.
Have seen similar promises before...
Indeed, a "wearable motorbike" springs to mind.
Especially when some joker writes a virus.
At least insanity in humans can't be spread via email.
Humans break the law, what makes you think robots will be any different?
I really want to see a giant kill-bot lose it's temper.
