Your mother just posted these hilarious shots of you with some nice hells angel bikers from when your car broke down. With your name tagged. Gee, I wonder if that will be entered into the database? I'm sure having you tagged as an associate of known criminals will aid you immensely.
The DMCA was designed to let copyright holders take out stuff on the internet they don't like. It's doing that. Allowing automated "spam bot" DMCA filings is a feature not a bug.
All DMCA requests must be handled under US law. The DMCA is US law. Those foreign companies can't make DMCA requests in a foreign country because
US law only applies in the USA, so your counter must also be made under US law (in the USA).
The USA bill of rights only grants/recognizes copyright to the original author. (securing for limited Times to Authors).
There is no mention of transfer, or copyright to others. Has anyone ever fought that in court?
Have a universal installer format that will install and run on everything. On all Linux, all BSD, all Windows.
A single install file that will go anywhere means developers only need to code once. For a new version of windows you just re-install. Done with full compatibility.
If you support all versions of Windows fully then developers will love you.
If you don't want usb drives plugged into your office computers then block them. Or have an alarm go off and the network shuts down or something.
Telling people not to use usb drives from home is like telling people not to speed.
When the government takes land to build a road they must pay the owner. Taking a website without a court order/criminal conviction is expropriation, not a legal punishment.
There are two basic problems with copyrights. 1- eternal duration (they last until the material is worthless), 2-they are under no obligation to offer it for sale.
Those who seek power have no objection to paying for it, with your money. If your privacy is in the hands of government at least you have the chance of getting something better next election. With big business only the rich have that option.
The evidence clearly shows that less government = higher prices and lower quality.
Trying to negotiate with medical providers isn't an equal fight. If you don't have someone big in your corner you will always lose.
The USA already has death panels. They work in accounting and have little or no medical training. Or did you think your insurance will cover everything without limit?
It's easy to provide better healthcare by throwing -LESS- money at it. The secret is cost control. You have to limit the profit margins for the public good.
1-Creativity is liked to mental instability. So your supermen will be dull and uncreative. If we assume that those who excel are genetic freaks then having them engineer their children is likely to eliminate the very traits that made their parents successful and allow others to replace them.
2-The rich and powerful tend to interbreed with many (poor) women. Human DNA is constantly getting mixed around, so we'll all eventually get the "benefits" of the rich man's genetic tinkering. 3-There will always be those who won't or can't engineer their kids, so those genes will not go away.
Technology companies don't buy favourable press, public relations companies do that. Do what you're good at. Also good for telling a court you didn't pay off journalists for biased reporting.
they can ID you by your calling pattern and where you travel, where you live, where you work, your route to work etc.
or they can use voice analysis to get your name.
Can I track a suspected drug dealer by his cell phone?
Can I track the police by their cellphones?
Can I track members of congress by their cellphones?
Can I track the president of the USA by his cellphone?
Now tell me where the line is.

Control of guns is required for public safety. Giving government an excuse to license replicators is bad. Couldn't we work on humanoid robots instead?
And one week later you will be extradited to the USA to answer for your "crimes".

My name is a link to me. Does that mean I can issue a takedown notice to advertisers?

No. Or are you suggesting that none of the KKK members thought race equality protesters were traitors to the USA?
The American control of the panama canal. When Panama told the USA to leave they sent in the army and changed the government.

What does a right wing conservative like Obama have to do with socialism? Obama-care is not universal healthcare. Not even close.

I think sharia law spells out rape punishments already. Getting a conviction will be hard though, as a woman's testimony is only worth 1/7 of a man's.
Can't England just extradite him from Ecuador? This is what extradition treaties are for.

Yes it does cost them $5/month. This is how much money they lose selling your name.
