    How about we compromise, and require seizures to be backed by affidavits signed under penalty of perjury?

    In the monsanto case the evidence could even have been planted.

    If they didn't even have probable cause then the domains wouldn't be seizable even under CIVIL forfeiture laws.

    You know the powers that be are too arrogant for our good when they don't even keep up their own pretenses.

    Pointing fingers is fine.

    What's wrong is using a machete to chop off other people's fingers when they point back at you.

    Just because the pot's black doesn't mean its opinion on the kettle is null and void.

    If we did things that way then the pot would be put to shame and everyone's so focused on the pot's hypocrisy that the kettle slinks away unscathed.

    And unfortunately, people on both sides of the issue have their own vested interests, so where on earth are we going to find a neutral person to judge who is right and wrong?

    Somehow you are presuming that both countries started out in the right and that they are both entitled to be treated the same.

    All applying the same standards to them does is preserve whatever status quo you started with.

    How do you get around a prosecutor who asks you point blank during voir dire?

    If you tell the truth, you get booted off the jury.
    If you lie, you go to prison for perjury.

    This is a question of politics at the USPTO.

    Nice when appellate judges are appointed by the scumbags the press is supposed to be watching, AND the supreme court so overworked that it only grants discretionary review.

    Rather nice system. For the politicians.

    It's not on public domain just because it gets posted to twitter.

    Copyrighted content remains copyrighted no matter where you post it.

    Slapping something on twitter that wasn't yours to begin with doesn't magically make it subject to twitter's terms. You have violated the implied warranty of authority by attempting to act without the permission of the copyright holder as their agent.

    Which means you get busted for infringement and your rogue post to twitter gets taken down in compliance with the DMCA. It's no different from posting a copyrighted video on Youtube and having it deleted when someone drops a DMCA notice on their legal department.

    I think your tweets will disappear faster if you send them a DMCA notice and threaten to sue their pants off.
