His sources include law enforcement from around the world, such as British police and the FBI, anti-phishing and hacking campaigners and members of the public.
Why are the British police and the FBI providing information to some one not directly involved in one of their cases. If this guy/company is involved in the case as a contractor why is he being allowed to double dip with sensitive case information? This definitely seems like an ethics or control of evidence violation has been perpetrated.
Extortion is threatening to use the information against you or leaking it even more if you do not pay. The company is not doing this. The company is saying this is what I have come across during my travels... If you want to know what I know about you then pay up, you are not obligated to do so. Kind of like those for pay credit score reports. (I know you don't have to pay for the credit report.. but the credit score is a different matter.) I am in no way defending the practice.
There's the fact that Congress holds the purse strings. Piss off the President you get fired. Piss off Congress and your whole department goes on the budgetary chopping block.
now think about how many touch screen phones that are out now. You can easily fumble your way through a phone number on a pad... but a flat touch screen requires a bit more focus.. that should be on the road anyways.

See I sell oranges my competitor sells Apples. If I don't let him sell Oranges ever but can let some lower guys that I can control through strict agreements sell oranges then that isn't a monopoly right. right!?

I would like to get the bands comments on whether they thought the Thomas-Rasset judgment was fair. The RIAA is apparently representing them and going after citizens for as much as the law allows.. even if it were 150K per song. Do these bands (other than Metallica who has chosen their side already when speaking to congress) really want to be associated with the financial ruin of people who might like their songs?
I will draw a correlation to Kathy Lee Gifford http://www1.american.edu/ted/kathylee.htm and other celebrities finding out their named products being built with child labor in sweat shop conditions. Do you continue to let it happen or do you speak out against it? Do you discontinue your association with the RIAA? The fans and press need to pressure bands for an answer.

The thing about the hot coffee lawsuit is that she was not the 1st person to complain about it. There was 700 people who filed complaints in a ten year period burn by the high temp coffee (some with 3rd degree burns. Yet McDonalds knowingly (documenting itself too) kept the temperature way too hot. This showed negligence on their part.

Why can't it be a dynamic of the field of play they were on. Think of it as driving in a downtown area versus off roading.

What your describing is fencing. I was only stating that this situation is not extortion.. nothing more.

Hotels regularly request to hold your passport during your stay. This was the case when I stayed in Italy.
Add Italy's museums to the list.

Who tried to ban those novels? Was it notable, or some overzealous high school librarian?
It's usually not the librarians.. it's the school board and administration.
