Forgive my squirrelly ignorance of American law, but I thought there was some kind of safe harbour law? Did they do something to void protection under such a law? Or is youtube going down next?
“Pirate websites such as megaupload.com, which obviously infringe massive quantities of movies, songs, images, and other extremely valuable copyrighted works, and directly profit from the infringing activity over which they have complete control, were never meant to be eligible to receive a DMCA safe harbor,” states the lawsuit.
I'm not sure about the legality of this, I'm not an expert in US law. Can someone please clarify?
We also noted that roughly 55% of those supporting a blackout preferred that it be a global one, with many pointing to concerns about similar legislation in other nations. For example, one British editor stated "American law is America's business, but law that affects Wikipedia worldwide is an issue of worldwide interest", a principle we felt had considerable support.
I don't think that's changed, the version of Principa is in latin at least. It's awesome that it's Newton's own annotated copy, but being able to read it would be useful
Wait, The Sims is in the butterflies and sunshine camp? I spent my childhood creating mass graves with manners of death to match any B-Grade slasher flick
A better example would be if you hired an assassin to kill someone in the US, while you were somewhere else in the world. You never step foot inside US soil. So are you charged under US law, or under the law of whatever country you're in?
Until, you know, a geek explains how to do it to their less technical friends, who then pass it on, and then the entire thing turns into a massive joke.
Online essays don't necessarily point either way -- my text messages often span over 3 messages (diagnosed nearly 5 years ago, had plenty of time to deal with the symptoms), and I've read about a high-functioning autistic guy who's one of the best speechwriters in America (Send in the Idiots, a short book if anyone is interested). Check out some of the posts over at wrongplanet some time if you don't believe me; sitting behind a screen makes it a lot easier to communicate, as one can think about what they want to say and take their time with it. Also, there's nothing like body language to compound the difficulty of communicating.

Seriously? They're calling it the "Mega Conspiracy"? I'd expect that from a 14 year old, not an indictment.

I managed to find this:

You could literally tell from the pixels?
Either that, or the aliens have been reading xkcd
I presume you then also approve of the News of the World fiasco in the UK, then?

No, but you can get a "This insult should never have happened, but I'll look past it if those responsible lose their jobs"

You make it sound like evolution has some sort of master plan

Let's not overhype what's occurring here.
You must be new here.

One problem with that scheme -- How do you think they'll react to blue shells?
You can't mention as a passing fact that you have 8TB worth of porn and not expect people to respond with "wait, what?"
...The hell?
Btw, the link is fine, doesn't go to goatse or any of the other shock images. Likewise, the link in the image goes to some Russian website.
Unless you're referring to a variant of RMS, and the RMS Project is its principal developer, I think it's meant to be called RMS+Linus
There appears to be some prior art...
Easy enough to get around, just add "on a computer" to the end of it and you're all set

Agreed. It's more like these guys, except not bat-shit crazy.

I see what you did there...
