Remember that until recently, asset forfeiture cases required you to post bond of 10 percent of the value of the property for you to even have the legal right to dispute the seizure.
The bottom line is that trusting the client to handle security for you is a bonehead move. You just don't do that period.
Considering that PSN is accessed over the internet, and consequently exposed to machines other than PS3's, you'd think that Sony could be more careful.
Try fining the credit card co's every time they knowingly process a payment for a spam email, and bar spamvertizers from accepting credit cards for their products.
The credit cos might not be directly involved but they're profiting on transaction fees from the whole thing, so they can darn well help police the thing. They are in an amply good position to help out with the problem.
I don't care if Texas is lawsuit happy in the patent department.
The better the wheels of justice are greased the better off we are. Litigation moves so damn slow these days that lawsuits are often decided on who blinks first at a winner take all staring contest decided in large part by whoever has a bigger legal budget.
My only concern would be if Texas was biased in some manner.
I don't know why the plaintiffs in this case weren't required to specifically identify the code in question that infringed, or at least the date it was committed.
A quick check of the commit history would resolve the dispute once and for all.
Name one thing NAT breaks that an ISP actually cares about.
Most of the stuff, like home servers and bittorrent, that NAT breaks are things ISPs would actually be quite happy to be rid of, or at least charge an outrageous premium for a static IP.

And in the court of opinion, you're still guilty of aiding and abetting for letting such scumbags use your internet in the first place.
Guilty by association even if all the facts are out.
Or hire a lawyer for that matter.

Breach of contract is purely a civil matter.
Don't you mean wikileaks?
Crimes are prosecuted by the government, which didn't sign the agreement.
The TSA's grope fest and ICE's seizure party eliminates escape as a viable option.
Don't diss our troops man.
Not quite.
I just gave the decision a once over and it only states that binding arbitration clauses in agreements can bar class action claims.
You can still sue for tort or other claims that are not the subject of such agreement.
Custom firmware is just an excuse to bash geohot.

TDS v. Monticello perhaps?
Yes it requires cooperation, but no, that cooperation doesn't have to be voluntary.
If you're suspected of being in a racket or other enterprise profitable enough for you to hire armed guards

With MS's track record I think they're their own prior art.
Yup, booting all the intellectuals out of the jury can sway things considerably.
Except that thanks to stare decisis, no new evidence can be introduced anymore.

Considering how little the average Joe Blow actually cares about all this high tech malarkey it's petty theft at best.
The prisons would likely intervene themselves, and then you'd be butting up against government coffers.
They do make a profit on the penal system after all.
Many creative works have a unique expense profile of being high capital but low margin.

There's still copyrights to worry about.
Is it really that way in practice?
What with the standards of proof and whatnot?
Considering there's now a case in SCOTUS regarding this very issue I wouldn't be so quick to draw any conclusions.
