NY is where a Hatian immigrant was raped, with a plunger, by the police in the police station. Look at the Police in the Rodney King incident. On the Prairielaw.com cyberlaw board, a person questioned the the legality of the searching a private website and individuals' computers. This is/was a board that apparently critisized the police department/managers as their employers.
Though these abuses are rare, they are not as rare as a hijacking.
I do admit on a wiretap order a person versus a phone makes sense.
How secure is this data? I don't mean in the sense of encryption or hacking, but being subject to subpeona.
The police will be able to come to your door and demand your electronic wallet. Or in an auto accident, the opposing party can demand it in discovery. Think of the black boxe in your totalled vehicle, now in the possession the insurance company. What if it contained GPS data?
As I said the WTC attack will be used to usurp our rights. They only have to say i>"threat" and our rights are gone. At least with a judge, there is/was a safeguard.
What you said indicates that you don't understand the costs and loss of rights. Usually rights are not just taken away in one fell swoop, but rights are eroded over time. Now, to have a license, you must provide your social security number to the state, its to protect the children from deadbeat dads. To cash a check, most banks require finger printing. When you drive your car, you are tracked. When you go to the superbowl, your face is checked against a database.
We go through airport security to protect us. Well, I guess our rights being trounced on did nothing to protect us. The metal detectors in government buildings did nothing to keep those planes out.
Maybe the next time, people will question, "are having our rights trampled on really giving us security?"
You miss the point with Napster.

Music stealing or not. What the RIAA is requiring is that you show that it is licensed to you before downloading and holding the tool provider responsible.
This is similar to holding/. liable for any posting of copywritten information posted, without/. being inform that it is copywritten.
What about the companies that build databses of images, websites, etc. from spidering the web?
They sell access to these databases to their clients to search for illegal copies of their works, or to see any mention of them in an unfavorable light. Is this an infringement?
But, there has been some studies that show that coffee drinkers are less likely to get bladder cancer. Probably because there is nothing in the bladder long enough to cause cancer. Beer may work that way too, but you don't have the side affect of wanting to climb a transmission tower and piss on high voltage wires.
What about the restriction of shrinkwrap license agreements. Currently most say, you get a disk, and if you can't read it we will replace it. But, if it does damage, or does not work, you are out of luck.
What about requiring a publisher that uses content control/copy-protection to provide free replacement/backup media at no charge? This is if they prevent one from making a backup and their is loss.
Based on this, one can start a new country with their own definition of defamation laws. This definition would permit anyone with deep pockets to bring suit (of course providing sufficient kickbacks to the government) in this new country and get a judgment.
Set a standard for libel of it cannot be true under any possible circumstance and that there are no free speech rights. Make the court filing fee of $1,000,000 USD.
I believe Earthlink had sued ounder the California anti-spam law. I also recall that AOL sued some spammers.
The problem is that for an individual to sue you have to show damages. An anti-spam law provides a floor for those damages. Otherwise you have to be able to prove that you were harmed by a certain amount of money. Being annoyed is not not easy to reduce to a dollar value. In the case of an ISP, they can show the costs in cleaning up from the spam.
When Felton sued, the RIAA found that they just walked into a PR nightmare. They could not classify him as an evil hacker. Now, the issue of fair use, academic freedom, is now at the front of the argument -- they can't muddy the waters with hacker accusations and claims of millions of $$ of pirated materials.
I don't know if it is true now, but the magazine QST used to have solar activity charts in their magazines. I used the charts to help me work skip with my CB radio. On the good days, I could hit Brazil.
But its not just solar activity.
Just before a huricane, I was able to talk from Boston to Providence as clear as they were a block away, with a 1/4 wave antenna.
First, being a reporters is different from being a software developer. A reporter deals in a human language -- words are not as mutable as variable names. Blower is a old newspaper term describing a person who takes news reports over the phone and types them up.
Second, with an RSI, it does not only prevent one from using a keyboard, but when severe, you have problems sleeping (from the pain), and eating (because you keep droping things), or shopping, because your hand strength goes to almost nothing.
You also have to keep in mind that the ADA analysis is a fact specific test that is done on a case by case basis. There are circuits that ruled in one case that CTS is a disability, and in another ruled that it was not. This does not say if they also considered the state disability laws - which have a different standard for disability.
Even if the service is regulated, the large companies still run roughshod over the smaller companies and the consumer.
How long does it take PacHell to setup DSL as opposed to another company, that must wait on PacHell? Or, @home blocking port 80 because some people are stupid enough to run Windows servers, but not unblocking.
Since the wires are already in place, the playing field is not level.
This case seems to fall in line with many of the cases across the country. It has no effect (outside the parties in the case) since it is only a trial judge and this issue has already been through some of the appeals courts.

Is this like the Drug War?
Wasn't WWI fought to preserve our individual liberty?
I tried the link, but it failed.

You may have that problem for a while, but not long term. You will reduce the pigeon population, therefore less pigeons to hit the fan -- less mess.

Since 2600.com is being sued over linking to DeCSS, this tactic is not unexpected. After a few appeals court rules against this sort of non-snese, things may settle down.

Its not a novel issue of law, circuits are not split on the issues involved, and its not a important constitutional question.

And for the record, I was not using a linear amp.

You don't need to know who the person is to determine if something is a trade secret. This might be similar to the standard for a anti-SLAPP
If you file a libel claim against me, you have to show that the statements made are libelous, before you pull off my mask.
