No prosecutor worth their aspiration for higher political office will ever acknowledge any of this. They (and law enforcement in general) need a body count, and a body count they shall have.
I've always wondered when (sadly not if) this is implemented, will we unwashed masses be allowed to file three baseless, unprovable counts of piracy against all the members of the MAFIAA, their famlies, their lawyers, their lawyers' familes, and every spinless lagdog politician that lied down for this? Or are automatic exemptions already built-in to ACTA for this ruling class?
And when we are booted off the net in perpetuity by falsified 3-strikes with no allowance to face our accusers, does Big Media really think any of us will buy or rent any song, movie, or TV show ever again? What are those quarterly statements going to start to look like?
how MS is allowed to continually ask the equivalent of Linux: "When did you stop beating your wife?" I assume suing for defaming an organization is not allowed, as it sure feels like a winnable case.
It sounds great and all, but show me a municipal waste stream that doesn't have things it shouldn't have (tube tvs with lead and mercury or even just flourescent light bulbs). Maybe they weed all the bad stuff (they can know about) before hand, but that surely isn't a cost-free undertaking.
I think the key to our modern American happiness is to enjoy our Decline and Fall where we can. Enough good bread and the right circus is all we need to ignore both the fiddling and the burning.
As much as I dislike Steve Jobs, this is the under-targeted audience he's brilliantly aiming at. Just one sound-bite from Oprah swooning over her iPad, and the real life Scrooge MacDuck can put in his second olympic-sized money pool.
...but they only serve six months (by lottery) at a time...
All that would do is place all the real power in the hands of professional staffers, who would lead the clueless six-monthers around on a leash like poodles.

Even though they list the older seasons in their catalog, they are never available through Netflix. What, do they only have one copy of each?

To be fair, the officials were really tweaking on meth when they saw the pictures.

If they had FORTY-TWO laptops stolen, maybe it was time to end the program. This was authoritarion voyeurism and nothing more.

However, it is a pretty clear example that businessmen as a class never 'learn their lesson'. A rote that is going on right now (Wall Street bonuses).
