Watada is simply doing what he was trained to do, do not execute an order that you feel is illegal. Following an unlawful order is against the law, and he believes that he would be following an unlawful order.
I do not know if his orders were infact unlawful. Also using ones personal beliefs about the war is not appropriate in this case.
Please do yourself and those around you a favor and try to consider all sides before storming to a conclusion, it only makes you look foolish and closeminded, which I hope you are neither.
The FAA doesnt approve flight plans. They just say some safety/basic rules of flight. Actual flight plans are approved by the Captain/owner of the vessel.
The only time the FAA can step in on a flight plan is if you cross some no fly zones. These include the White House, Pentagon, some bridges, ect. Or if your flight plan would take you across vertical/horizonal lines that your craft is not permitted to cross at the time.
I could fly a plane from NYC to LAX in a repeating circular pattern while increasing and decreasing my altitide the whole way.
Nobody realizes that people have the right to bully others. It brings them enjoyment so why should they be infringed upon? Also hazing rituals should be brought back as the social norm.
Remember back in the days of the Soviet Union when a programmer wrote the game Tetris? Do you know what happened? The Soviet Union seized the source code and full ownership. After the breakup of the Soviet Union the programmer got ownership back eventually.
GG US Government, your looking more like a Communist Soviet Clone everyday.
Personally I would have destroyed the source code and told my boss and the justice dept to suck it. Even with consequences in mind.
Just another shining example of people and patents getting in the way of innovation and the future. People need to realize that money isnt everything, and that the growth of our species is more important then someones wallet.
Yes sadly it is. Im for helping the kids, but lets use some common sense and give them the respect they deserve instead of the old "OMG you are too young to see that".
The current reasoning leads children to develop confusion about sex and sexuality. And that is exactly where rapists and other issues might be coming from, simply because they are raised in a confused state and it manifests itself in a dangerous fashion later in life.
You have got to me kidding me. What is this? What age are we living in today? Why is it anything technology related makes people go back 2000 years in thinking?
GG Justice System, now step aside and let someone who knows what they are doing handle it kk
No, DRM is illegal. It attempts to bypass the consumers RIGHT to produce a backup of their investment. The copyright law provides a clause that states quite plainly that consumers are allowed to make one (1) backup for personal useage and that the backup must be transfered or destroyed if the original is sold, traded or given away.
Everyone has forgotten that the companies and service providers SERVE the consumer, not the other way around.
I remember the days of the ARPANet. There were no advertisements. The internet was created as an exchange of information. Adverts do not belong on the net. The Advertisement age of the internet lead to the creation of intrusive models (popups, viri, adware, ect) all designed on the premise of getting money.
And what does it do? It leads to bogging down the net with needless exchanges of packets that most do not want. As a NetOp I know I wouldnt want my bandwidth consumed by this garbage.
Time to take back the net from these money grubbing advertisers.
No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century. That Mars was being watched by intelligences equal to our own. That as Martians busied themselves about their various concerns.
We observed and studied. The way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency Martians went to and fro about Mars, confidant of their empire over that world.
Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded Mars with envious eyes and slowly and surely we drew our plans against them.
Exactly, the door swings both ways. Parties in CountryA shouldnt beable to sue Parties in CountryB. Since we are not in a One World Government, it would only cause diplomatic problems and anamosity for all parties involved both directly and indirectly.
Sure, if they want to block the DNS yea they are within their rights to do so. At the sametime it shows that they are engaging in censorship (which tends to upset people that are being kept from what they want - not that most governments care).
As for the fines, all I have to say is "yea right". Just try to enforce it (Easy if they have a Brazil branch but they do not), although im sure YouTube/Google would pay up just to play nice.
Personally I would flip Brazil the finger and laugh. An the ironic part is, nobody would know if Brazil didnt put up a fuss and this precious video would have faded into obscurity instead of being a spotlight item.

USS BSOD USS Blue Screen (Nice ring to it) USS Crashalot (Like Lancealot only retarded)
Leave the US and its draconian tax laws.
I for one welcome our new planet smashing overlords.
When one is absent the other will be there take fill the void.
I like violence, I am sure many other people do too. Currently its presented in a virtual enviroment where nobody gets hurt.
I am sure many people would have no qualms in making actual violence more of a reality.

Slightly off topic but here goes.

Nintendo not Sony. But yes, I do see them doing the while DCMA thing shortly.
Again we are shown that the Human Race has been sold out. Because we all know that PROFIT is > then all. One day it will cause our extinction.
A race couldnt save itself from its demons because a profit couldnt be turned in the process.

Its like War of the Worlds, but in reverse.

Sorry Mars =(
Yes, they would prolly use their .com as the front door for their .xxx
Enforcement is gonna be fun, I can already see the violations of free speech and censorship happening already.
Everyone lets raise a cup of ramen to the fallen hero. He will be missed.
Ok lets say Governmental/Economic/Diplomatic/Legal nightmares.

I know, and its really stupid. Power and position in one government/society does not transfer to an equal place in another government/society.
Party ABC in Country 1 should not be allowed to sue Party XYZ in Country 2. It makes enforcement tricky and causes diplomatic nightmares.
I do believe this has been addressed before. Furthermore your right to privacy is not guarenteed while in a public place.
It really amazes me that some people think they can dictate what happens on the internet, especially when they got money.
