    On the other hand, bloody is about the ONLY way they can stop things.

    Now that the SL has declared the protestors anti-islamic, the police probably have the duty to KILL ON SIGHT anyone found protesting.

    Which is really sad. That means it's literally do or die for any revolution.

    They should price by peak and off peak then, like some electric companies do.

    Scarce resources, such as airtime during heavy traffic, should be expensive.

    which they only started doing to avoid the wrath of the FCC.

    Seems somehow they still managed to piss off big fed.

    Or maybe big fed saw through the smoke and mirrors for once.

    It's always wise to remember that anarchy and free market don't get along with each other.

    Without a neutral referee, i.e., the government supervising the market to make sure nobody cheats, the strongest will overrun the system and become the new "government"

    Simple.

    The only ones who can lobby are the ones made rich by existing favoritism.

    That doesn't help.

    Many of the RIAA's victims are actually innocent, but cough up anyway because they can't afford to mount a defense.

    in theory I suppose the RIAA could get an injunction, which would land her in prison were she to violate.

    She's effectively attainted. All that debt is as good as a forfeiture to the crown.

  12. Re:Hit the RIAA where it hurts on $1.9 Million Award In Thomas Case Raises Constitutional Questions · · Score: 1

    A big part of the RIAA's revenue comes from coughups of settlement money.

    Simply boycotting them won't be good enough.

    Doing so by waiving viable defenses is borderline legal malpractice.

    Asking for money isn't evil.

    After all, the EFF patent attorneys who do the grunt work of getting the patents busted still have to eat.

    My priority for any browser is standards compliance.

    Why? Because I expect browsers to do what the fuck they are told, and I expect to see the expected results from webdevs who are good enough to follow the rules and keep their sites clean.

    My browser of choice is Chrome.

    Simple.

    The smart ones get out of jury duty. Only the idiots are left in the pool that all the braniacs jumped out of.

    Why jury duty is so hated in the first place though IS beyond me.

    Aren't juries just as essential for our freedom as troops?

    Whatever happened to good old-fashioned patriotism?

    What sucks about our legal system is that you can't go back and fix your error, since trials are "speak now or forever hold your peace" deals.
