Pirate's gonna pirate, and there's not a damn thing you can do to stop it.
The problem is lack of recall at a federal level.
In the real 9 to 5 world of the working class, if you fuck up your boss has the privilege of firing you.
Crazy idea, meet sovereign immunity.
All your post proves is that the one who has the gold makes the rules.
You or I couldn't have created mickey as a ripoff of oswald and gotten away with it.
Disney, however, could.
2 lines vs 100K I think qualifies as fair use.
My guess is that the credit card companies that are collecting processing fees for the actual purchases don't mind the extra business.
Simple.
Any rescue of MU's content would allow it to revive itself once the federal trial is over.
It's in the mafiaa's interest for MU to die.
The FBI as a political subdivision of the US government probably has sovereign immunity.
Lovelier still is when the site hosting your stuff gets gunshy and uses admin fiat to ban you anyway without even giving you a chance to submit a counternotice.
Why are they not being prosecuted for perjury?
I think it's perjury to falsely claim the right to act on behalf of the copyright holder on a DMCA notice.
And then they update their EULA's to forbid lawsuits.
If you find an idiot that isn't stupid let me know.
I'd consider it a 4th amendment issue of probable cause for a search.
And that's exactly what snooping through a laptop is, a search, encryption or not.
Wouldn't this be a 4th amendment issue instead of a 5th amendment?
If you are compelled to hand over the password it's pretty much the same as handing over physical keys.
I'd attack this on grounds of search and seizure, not self incrimination.
Indeed
In theory we already have the 4th amendment to cover what basically amounts to an electronic search.
Who cares about the 5th amendment.
What about the 4th?
My guess is some sort of technical glitch that mysteriously resets the signature count back to zero or nukes the petition itself.
What are the odds that Iran is actually going to give it back, let alone in one piece?
Blowing it up wouldn't have actually cost any more than letting them shred it when they were done going over it with a fine toothed comb.
MegaUpload got taken out simply because it pissed off a very well connected lobbying group.
Here's an idea.
You know how counter-notices are required to be under penalty of perjury? How about requiring the original complaints to do likewise?
I think getting disbarred and locked up for 5 years is a nice incentive not to file a false notice.
In this case it is probably more a question of diplomacy and economic might than it is legality.
Remember all those british sailors who got captured for sailing into their territorial waters?
Again, forced confessions, torture.
Iran is probably just flexing its muscles in an attempt to assert sovereignty.
If a lunch counter sit in disrupted a politically well connected business it would be called an "attack" as well.
As far as the feds are concerned it isn't about how strong the attack is, but who the victim is.
If a lunch counter sit in disrupted a politically well connected business it would be called an attack too.
Due process is a pain in the ass for the powers that be, that's why.
