Freedom of speech is not the freedom to tresspass on my computer equiptment, use my resources for me to listen to your advertising!
This is not a prohibition on your paying your moneyto spread your advertising. This is a prohibition on you spending my money to spread your advertising.
Commercial speech does have some constitutional protection, but not to the same level as non-commercial speech. But even with pure political speech, there is no requirement for me to pay for your speech.
As for hitting the delete key, at that point, you have already tied up at least 2 of my computers used my disk storage, my time, my bandwidth without paying for it.
If you want to spam, no problem, just pay me in advance.
I mean, if an ISP keeps a spammer, after being made aware that they are a spammer, then the ISP should becomes liable. That includes bandwidth providers.
We should treat spam money like drug money, all assetts that have been possibly bought with spam money, even if given away, subject to judgment.
With the monitoring of movements, phone calls, purchases, you can determine what your beliefs are (to a great extent) and then if they feel your beliefs should be adjusted, you can be put into an internment camp, or declared a comunist.
No. Workers comp is still for work related injuries.
In my case, the insurance company tried to claim that my injury was from computing at home, not from the minimum 8 hours a day at the office. Of course this was just a sleezy insurance company attempt to deny. The insurance company doctor said that the injury was from work.
Workers comp. covers work related injuries. Not just when you are working at the office. Now, if the company wants to claim ownership on work you do outside of the office, then they must accept liability for injuries outside the office related to that outside work.
You come up with an idea, but only work on it in your head. And it is related to your employment, who should own it?
Now it could also hurt the company too. The when I became afflicted with tendinitis, the WC insurance company tried to avoid responsiblity by claiming it is from my computing at home. Since the company had the same type of inventions agreement, I argued that since they owned all I worked on, then they had liability for all injuries from what I worked on. MSI took possesion of what I worked on at home, then claimed, in the WC hearing, claimed that program they took was not related to my employment which means they took my work by fraud.
The knife cuts both ways.

Shrinkwrapped Books

· Score: 1
Actually Lessig might argue that congree would pass a law that says that shrink-wrap licensing applies to all books printed this century. And, it would be illegal to have your own shrink-wrap machine because someone may break the shrink-wrap and then re-shrink-wrap the book to cover their trail.
That a judge would consider require a plaintiff to provide a hard drive in such a case is suprising. Especially in the a couple of spam cases that I am familiar with, the judge refused to compel discovery of the email list because to produce that would invade the privacy of the spam victims.
No, the first version will not do this. What they will do, is leave a huge security hole and some big bugs. Then when you download the update, you will have to agree to being spyed on or have every script kiddie break into your device.
It costs about $.05 for syrup for a 12oz cup of coke for the syrup. Equiptment costs remain the same. You use a little more water, a little more Co2, and the cup might be a little more expensive.
So why not sell the 44oz for twice the cost of a 10oz? It is just more money in the pocket of the store.
Let the RIAA go after them. Where as the NeoNapster and NeoCDEX^h^h^h^hAudio is a profit making enterprise, there is less protection under copyright law. At the very least, let the SOBs at RIAA be good for something.
You can get the judgment enforced in that state to be paid. Then you can hand it to a collection agency. Or have your state's court attach funds that go through companies in your state.
The spam may be from dial up European sources, but they are usually US spammers using services from there. Go after the people hiring them. If I tell you to break the law, I am still breaking the law.
Maybe it is a bit of honesty. He may have been saying that because he has ticked them off and that may have made the ICANN management more resistant to his requests than another person in the same position.
If they file a lawsuit, the lawsuit will be dismissed. That will cut down the size of the DMCA stick. If the case goes to appeal, it will lose thus cutting down the DMCA further.
Why when Felton stood up, they backed away? They don't have an EVIL HACKER to villify.
This is not just involving the DMCA, but also involves click-wrap the validity license agreements (see paragraphs 62, 70-73 of the complaint).
But, lets extend this a little. There is also issues of consumer protection, where you purchase a product, but then talk about how bad it is, that could violate a term in a license agreement. Or, it could do damage to your hardware and data, but you can get that fixed for a fee. Both these situations could violate a state's consumer protection act.
It may not be at that detail, but insurance companies are taking the car's onboard computer when they total the vehicle.
If you are in an accident and the other party's insurance company takes the vehicle, they will check the black box to try to shift the liability from their client onto you.

The proper way to get rid of spam is to get rid of spammers. Have it illegal to send spam, to market using spam, and to host spammers.
Make each link in the chain liable!

I would say Verizion should be burried, but Verizion is also going after a Ralksy, a big time spammer.
The US laws is a hodge podge of laws that developed in part by trying to read the minds of the founding fathers.
Is this guy Al Gore? The internet was invented in the USA.

So, the MPAA lied about all these things happening if all copys were outlawed and anyone making a copy were not immediately jailed?

They knew they would have their posterior kicked black and blue which would eliminate the DMCA threat power.

Then they will claim the law is outragious.
They just got a small taste.
But, it was on his name tag.
He is standing up for us little guys.
