I had a neighbor who told me he didn't want an HD TV because 'they can listen to and watch you'. Now I have to go apologize for not believing him. Perhaps I'll bring an offering of tinfoil.
Call their bluff; announce an intent to entertain offers from other states to move their entire institutions, lock, stock, and intellectuals due to their services no longer being required by the state.
It's not just the Taliban that wants to go back to the 12th century.
This will probably be the first major lawsuit by corporations alleging 3D printers and printing services encourage IP theft. The companies will be sued into oblivion or driven into bankruptcy by insane licensing fees.

seem massively overpriced. If you worked out the price by weight of the paper, it might start creeping into the precious metals arena.
Has anyone ever forced any 'non-profit' organization (ASTM, SAE, IEEE, etc.) to justify their pricing structures? Internally, where is all that money ending up?
It is the timing of this mea culpa that should disturb folks just as much as the findings. It hits the news on the same day as the new iPad goes on sale? Give me a sociopathic, walled-garden topped with razor wire, dog-wagging break.
You are already paying a tax on the ISP servcie and the electrical power used, along with sales taxes on the equipment that will play the downloaded media. Time again for some tea-dumping.
Creeping control like this will ensure a permanent underclass that will never be able to 'pull themselves up by their own bootstraps'.
I submit having to give a miss to an insurance payment is akin to pirating Photoshop. Yes, it's wrong, but less so if you're trying to better yourself by learning a marketable skill or getting to a job no where close to the tube.
If you, nor anyone of your friends or family have never EVER missed one payment due to money being tight not because of lack of priorites or sloth, but because of unforseen disasters (medical bills come to mind here), then don't look now, but YOU are the One Percent.
Configue an entire society around mobility and then brutally punish all those without enough money to be 100% compliant, 24-7. Brilliant.
Don't UK number plates stay with a vehicle, for the life of the vehicle (as opposed to the US where the plate is tied to the owner, not the vehicle)? If that's still true, Big Brothers' database is guaranteed to be out of date - so much so, you might not be filling up that used car you just bought...
I mean seriously, 14 hours per week simply to amass a collection of video files you probably don't have any remaining free time to sit down and watch? You're mad...
The same thing is going on with books: the competition to worry about isn't the internet; it's the big chains that can serve 80% of the market by distributing a handful of best-sellers, and screw the rest.
Let BuyNLarge have the exclusive to the Oprah / Today garbage du jour; that will leave talented authors to sell directly to the folks whom aren't unintentionally auditioning for a walk-on part in Idiocracy.

Given that US citizens can now be 'Gimoized' (along with being drone-killed sans trial), we are already Foreigners in the eyes of the security organs.

To further remove you from actual control over your finances. Akin to electronic voting removing you from your actual choice.

A medical test that definitely won't result in protests!
