  1. The MORAL thing to do is start your own ISP on Morality of Throttling a Local ISP? · · Score: 1

  2. "Hey times are hard - I ain't gonna pay you like I on Microsoft Shoots Own Foot In Iceland · · Score: 1

    So people that live in the cold are not obligated to live up to the terms of a contract they agreed to. Legal contracts can be nullified because "hey, my customers aren't coming into my store any more..." Icelanders have no sense of responsibility to live up to their end of a bargain? "Hey times are hard - I ain't gonna pay you like I agreed" WOW - these Icelanders are such responsible, honorable, noble people. Remind me to never do business with someone who DECIDES it is no longer convenient for them to honor their agreements and legal obligations, goes public with childish wailing of how it is OK to back out of a deal when it doesn't go his way. My four year old son has been raised to take more responsibility than most adults.

  13. Re:The Slashdot crowd and the RIAA on RIAA Must Divulge Expenses-Per-Download · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Yes - My son.

    He is a second year student at USC (University of Southern California)

    The attorney letter is from Holm Roberts & Owen LLP from their Denver office.

    The school passed on the letter and when I called the school's Acting Litigation Manager - was told that the school would pass on student info if a lawsuit is filed and the school receives a subpoena.

    To say I am disappointed at the school's passive position is an understatement. California has very strong laws requiring schools to protect the privacy of students - and if there should be legal action would be compelled to act in protecting student privacy.

    Since the school has very strong ties with the recording / film industry, and the LA basin is full of attorneys and judges that are graduates, the lawyer I consulted suggested settling.

    hummmm

    He's hoping to build the school a new building or two in the future...

    As for the RIAA action, the school is doing the lawful thing, and so is the RIAA. I don't like the law, the tactics, the methodology, the rational, not one bit.

    But that IS the state of the law as it stands. And as to minimize the impact - we'll take the path of least resistance.

  15. Re:Know anyone? on RIAA College Litigations Getting A Bumpy Ride · · Score: 1
    Easier said than done!

    I'm all for fighting the good fight, but in this case, until I hear other students might be willing to join together, going alone is just too much time energy effort and money.

    Though transferring might be an option, I think all it would accomplish is hurt my son's studies - after all USC is a pretty good school, and the program he is in is a pretty special five year plan available in only a handful of schools.

    Besides, the USC cheerleaders look great during the football games.

    Ahhh Democrat Kucinich.

    A walking talking exemplar of "Liberalism is a mental disease".

    No! He's the Kucinich that was on Art Bell's show telling us about his alien abduction.

    I believe the TOPIC is where the F "Judges" get all this new found power. . It sure ain't in the CONSTITUTION. As for the CONSTITUTION, the Founding Fathers NEVER envisioned "Judges" running amok with all this Extra-Constitutional power And President Peanut Farmer Carter enacting FISA makes it so? FISA JUDGES say so? Hummmm . . .And what makes FISA constitutional? A President abrogating his responsibility? Go ahead and READ what the Founding Fathers said about JUDGES getting out of hand..... Waiting Maybe read Mark Levin, "Men In Black"..."How the Supreme Court is Destroying America.." I assume you CAN read.
