I have yet to read about any religion doing anything to anybody. On the other hand, I have read and seen plenty about people who profess a religion who have done shitty things to people. But there is a difference between what a religion (or one's own life philosophy) says and how well the individual follows it.
So the Crusades & the Inquisition had nothing to do with the Catholic Church?
But according to anything I can find related to his indictment, the charges had nothing to do with copyright infringement & everything to do with unauthorized access to a computer.
From Wikipedia:
On July 19, 2011, a federal grand jury indictment was unsealed, charging Swartz with wire fraud, computer fraud, unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer and recklessly damaging a protected computer.[52][53] According to the indictment, Swartz surreptitiously attached a laptop to MIT's computer network, which ran a script named "keepgrabbing.py",[9] allowing him to "rapidly download an extraordinary volume of articles from JSTOR."[54] Prosecutors in the case said Swartz acted with the intention of making the papers available on P2P file-sharing sites.[46]
Swartz surrendered to authorities, pleading not guilty on all counts, and was released on US$100,000 unsecured bail.[55] After his arrest, JSTOR put out a statement saying it would not pursue civil litigation against him,[47][55] while MIT did not comment on the proceedings.[56]
The New York Times wrote of the case: "A respected Harvard researcher who also is an Internet folk hero has been arrested in Boston on charges related to computer hacking, which are based on allegations that he downloaded articles that he was entitled to get free."[57]
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen P. Heymann and Scott L. Garland were the lead prosecutors, working under the supervision of U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz[48][58][59] The case was brought under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which was passed in 1986 to enhance the government’s ability to prosecute hackers who accessed computers to steal information or to disrupt or destroy computer functionality.[60] "[I]f convicted on these charges," said Ortiz, "Swartz faces up to 35 years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, restitution, forfeiture and a fine of up to $1 million."[61]
The original poster has an axe to grind & is doing it poorly.
I don't know if it was actually written on paper, but he was offered something in return for the NDA... they would not call the RCMP (that's Canadian for "Police").
Apparently, this is all legal in TX, where courts have already decided that ANY agreement between employer and employee is legal and binding, and that there is no concept of duress or pressure to sign.
Are you sure about that? From my viewpoint here in FL that's pretty much the opposite of how a "right-to-work" state functions.
I have yet to meet anyone who has gotten a tablet for any kinds of real reason other than a toy.
My girlfriend is an occupational therapy assistant & uses her iPad during fine motor therapy sessions. The kids & most seniors she works with love it. She bought her iPad after getting to evaluate all the OTA apps available for it at a convention (they weren't on Android at the time, but are now). She keeps her notes & schedules on it as well.
Absolutely yes, in the US. In the past public urination was charged as indecent exposure. There was little thought to how that was worded until the sex offender registry became so broad that it included all who were convicted of this crime. Thousands of people register for public urination, mooning, streaking and many other acts that don't fit the image we have of a sex offender.

Last time I checked AA doesn't threaten you with eternal torment if you fall off the wagon. Or fail to give them 10% of your earnings.

Ignorant fucking liar. Change.org alone has thousands of successful petitions, if I had to guess 1/3 of them are government related.
Not to burst your bubble, but does it really matter much if it's in port as opposed to "on land" when it blows up?
No, but you do restrain them. I actually had to help a teacher do that back in high school. Watch out, those guys are a handful when they are pissed.

Please explain what Swartz's death has to do with copyright infringement.
I don't know if it was actually written on paper, but he was offered something in return for the NDA ... they would not call the RCMP (that's Canadian for "Police").
Sounds like duress to me.
Pretty sure it is. I think it's called "prowling" here.
A mix of poverty & insufficient mental heath resources.
Under this law my .22 squirrel rifle is now an assault weapon. Good job New York, looking forward to a federal court smacking this brain-dead law down.

Me thinks those Texan "right to work" laws that corporations generally love so much are about to bite HP in the ass.

You are misinformed. Stores all over the nation use video to prosecute shoplifters everyday.
It's corporate death penalty time!
I don't know, Philip K. Dick or Hunter S. Thompson could have wrote that in their sleep. :D
Hell, it reads almost like one of Dick's short stories.

At the real company I work at, management's bonuses have nothing to do with deadlines set by our customers.
How do you define a legitimate journalist organization? More importantly, how does US law define it?
We don't, the poster you are replying to is an idiot.
I guess the cost of "Obama Phones" is more than expected.
You mean the ones that have been around since Regan?
