    You can continue to rail against it, but it was upheld by the DC Circuit Court as constitutional, so the courts say that you are wrong. If you care so much about it, take the case to the supreme court, but for now, it is considered constitutional, since that is how the US system of government works.

    It is now racist to expect people from other countries to respect the laws of your country and not break in illegally?

    You might be a bigot if everyone you talk about is racist in your eyes.

    I expect that part of the job of the federal government is the security of our borders from foreign invaders, as they have not traditionally cared much about people breaking our laws to invade our country from the southern border, it kind of makes sense to secure the border a bit better. It is a catch phrase to say build a wall, but he is really talking about securing the border, which is actually the job of the federal government.

This is exactly not how DMCA works, the DMCA allows you to respond saying you don't believe your media infringes, and if the would liek to sue you, here is your address. There is nothing stopping you from defending your usage in court, and likely you would win if it really didn't infringe.

    Um, lies? The FBI worked within the confines of the constitution in the iPhone case, they had a warrant (though they didn't need one!), and requested Apple unlock the phone, like they have done numerous times:

    I agree, thinking seems to be quite hard for you, it is much easier to accuse the FBI of subverting the constitution when they are not doing anything of the sort.

    You know, every time I see this argument, I reply in the exact same way. The FBI asked for nothing of the sort, and it is a lie to say they did. The court order is available to be read online, and it actually says that the exploit was to be keyed to the ID of the specific phone, and signed by Apple's signing key. It therefore would be impossible for the FBI to modify it for another phone, and Apple would be the only ones with the ability to do that.

    The court order is available here:

    But I am unable to resolve their DNS currently, not sure what happened to their stuff.

    Next you are going to claim that the FBI said they wanted to unlock numerous phones, but what does that matter? They still have to get warrants to the data on the phone, which is as far as the constitution goes on this case. The FBI also offered to pay for the work, as they pay for stuff like this all the time, so you can't bring in the slavery angle.

    Also, Apple worked with FBI and local law enforcement in unlocking numerous phone previously, so they don't have any issue in doing it. For some reason Apple decided to take a stand on this one case, when they never did before. Maybe someone at Apple was implicated?

    1) Define terrorist. That gets pretty broad, especially when you ask the government, because they consider everyone a potential terrorist.

    Except that the government has a published well defined definition of terrorism.

    https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/i...

    18 U.S.C. 2331 defines "international terrorism" and "domestic terrorism" for purposes of Chapter 113B of the Code, entitled "Terrorism”:

    "International terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

    Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
    Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
    Occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S., or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.*
    "Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

    Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
    Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
    Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.
    18 U.S.C. 2332b defines the term "federal crime of terrorism" as an offense that:

    Is calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct; and
    Is a violation of one of several listed statutes, including 930(c) (relating to killing or attempted killing during an attack on a federal facility with a dangerous weapon); and 1114 (relating to killing or attempted killing of officers and employees of the U.S.).
    * FISA defines "international terrorism" in a nearly identical way, replacing "primarily" outside the U.S. with "totally" outside the U.S. 50 U.S.C. 1801(c).

    Something I have learned from living here for most of my life, in Maryland, it is more important to look like you are doing something positive, than to actually do something positive. This is just yet another example. Science says this might be a contributing factor, so let's ban it! Science hasn't even come out with a study that actually links this chemical to CCD, but what does that matter, even when CCD is happening in places that don't even use these chemicals, we must DO SOMETHING!
