The fact that you can make big money off this sort of thing is the main problem. While it was publicly-funded research, his idea was to use this in order to make money off the side from something like that.
A John Doe is an instance of a person you are unable to identify. Its pretty much a placeholder.
Like if you're going to sue 100 people for downloading your show - and you only have their IPs, you issue a lawsuit against 100 John Does, then fill out the information when you subpoena it.
Technically 'reverse engineering' works out to be 'publishing information from a device you own'. Decompiling code to see how my competitors are doing it is also illegal.
So yeah it could still be pretty illegal - not really related to this case - but even if you 'gloss it over' in that manner, it still works out the same.
"This information can easily help terrorists". Therefore he is 'aiding terrorism' , and therefore needs to be taken to G.Bay to be placed naked in cramped conditions and then waterboarded.
I'm pretty sure they made more than 2.5 million profit...
You see if you steal songs and hold 50 million in reserve, then you're expecting to make more profits than those 50 million, otherwise what's the point of stealing the songs?
I'm pretty sure if the greatest leader in the history of mankind, a person who has found the solution to all the world's problems - went for an election as an independant candidate he would still not get any amount of votes worth reporting.
Happens everywhere you understand. Red States/Blue States.. you think they care whether their leader is a baby-eating psycho or a good human being? Nope.
"and can play an important role in a democracy that chooses its leaders."...as opposed to a democracy which chooses out of a 2-party system the lesser of two evils.
I hate it when people say "Anonymous" are doing X. It makes it sound like its some sort of static group with a single leader who determines what the group will be up to this week.
Its never as simple as this. Anonymous are a bunch of individuals who decide whether doing X 'for the lulz' is a good idea or not. Who their leader is changes and doesn't really matter as much as in other cases.
Its pretty much a case of a totally distributed system which forms links on the fly.
The person who decided on the DDOS, and the people who followed him/her could be totally different from the people who will be out protesting.
I;m sure the people of Saudi Arabia wouldn't really like it if the official US policy towards them is "Their king is an ass". Just saying. I'm sure the King won't like it either.
I'm just making fun of how capitalism says that it keeps a free-market going, but in most of the vital things it always collapses into a corporocracy.
I was making fun of the typical "Don't get the government involved - capitalism to the rescue!" argument which always comes up when we discuss the internet or net neutrality.
Free markets are destined to die without government intervention.
You can always switch to other providers. That's what Capitalism says. Corporations will never get large, agree together for certain things and therefore control the market directly.

Maybe, just maybe, so much power over life and death shouldn't be given to for-profit organisations?
Because then you end up with crap like this.

You should be sure to take down any keys which appear on popular social networking sites.
I mean it worked brilliant with 09 F9

I'll believe that when I see it.
Its more likely that nobody will open their mouths, then a bunch of senators will get pizzas delivered to them that they didn't order.
Sorry - not familiar with that term. Are you implying that no one can hear you shake hands with the bishop?
I'm not sure why

Paid less than the penalty for copyright infringment in the USA. May have to do with the C word though.

Any particular reason for the constant ad hominem?
Reminded me of this...

I'm sure vehicle building in a low gravity environment will work quite differently from how we do it on this nice planet of ours.
What happens when aliens find our mars colony, and think that the entire race is composed of people like that?
Ooooh and in return, they should hack the government website and put in a "I eat baby foetusus for breakfast" image!
Hooray!

I wouldn't call China communist by a long shot.
Generally communist countries don't let you open factories there to export cheap goods. In fact -
"7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state..."
"8. Equal liabiliity of all labour"
".... gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country"
It took me a while to realise that you're being satirical. I was going to write a point by point rebuttal.

No sir-ee.
Its kinda hard to have 'very strict gun control laws' if I can go off to the nearby state - buy a gun and bring it in.
