Yes it is, when you make the log it is automatically yours. Copyright just adds stiffer penalties. Though since the person you were talking with also made part of the log you would need to share copyright of the log, release the right to from one person or divide ownership by statement. Any way would still give you grounds to sue.
IANAL

Probably the best way would be to have many companies all maintaining their own database, then make them all hate each other so they won't conspire; or maybe a reward for having the most trustworthy database is given to the best key maintainer so if you violate trust you lose money.
Yes, we are screwed.
Tor just sends your traffic through other servers. I don't think that that is the statistical noise that the parent poster meant. I think he meant something like track-me-not http://mrl.nyu.edu/~dhowe/trackmenot/ which runs random searches to screw up data mining.
Yes, "terrible" is relative, but since there are more net-neutral ISPs out there then it makes sense to use those instead. Another option aside from cable would be to use barebones DSL to get VoIP and internet service.
I am aware of that and have used a UPS for DSL during power outages. The problem is that many people have not heard of UPSs and they probably won't want to take the small bit of time required to set it up. Also, simply because of the increased complexity of the system, VoIP will be less reliable. If you're good with tech and have a UPS then VoIP is a fine choice but it will have less uptime than POTS.
A good theory but hard to implement VoIP has less uptime and dies in power-outages. Also cable, at least in the US, has vendors like Comcast and Time-Warner which are terrible as well.
Very true, a good example of this is the difference between the Pope and American catholics. I just read in US News And World Report that only 16% of US catholics support the Pope's policy on abortion. Most Americans aren't left or right most are moderates yet there are very vocal extremists which distort our view.
To quote the [very] old Superman TV series. Truth, Justice... and the American way. What Superman meant to say was Truth, Justice OR the American way. (whichever pays more) I'm glad to see countries choosing the american way.
Agreed, MD did use optical a while back. Also, though I'm not sure I believe that the makers of the optical machines may have been Diebold. Personally I would like to see the system from http://openvotingconsortium.org/ implemented widely since it is open source and uses a optical & paper system.
The only problem would be the conflict of multiple sites in one hash which could be solved by formatting the query as a hash with an optional id number. If there were multiple results for a hash then list of all of them as "1. Domain 2. Domain" and the user can replace the hash with the hash and the corresponding number eg: Hash-#.
There is a Firefox extension called TrackMeNot at http://mrl.nyu.edu/~dhowe/trackmenot that issues random requests to search engines generated from a wordlist. All that needs to be done to make it lookup poison is to modify the query strings with various WHOIS lookups and add.TLD or.ccTLD to the end of the generated search string and send it off. For more usability both the wordlists and WHOIS lookup site strings could be stored in user-editable text files and more words could be added from http://www.gattinger.org/wordlists. List updates could be distributed as extension updates. Later maybe something to randomly do command line lookups could be added too. Finally,a feature could be added to request Squatter URL's and load them in the background without caching to use up their bandwidth. If I knew extension code I would do it myself but as of yet all I can do is provide ideas. To get the source for the extension simply grab it from http://mrl.nyu.edu/~dhowe/trackmenot or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3173 and rename it anything.zip then open it up. If anyone does anything with this please email me about it.
Thanks.

I wish.
Yup, one of the companies is called Relakks except they use a vpn not ssh.
They can distinguish by unique MAC address.

It could also be done with a greasemonkey script, there's already one that forces wikipedia to https.

If you mean KDE with shinyness, heck no. Command line, maybe.
IANAL but I would think so, if the AF knew the video couldn't be copyrighted then it would be perjury.
