I wonder why did they not just host the competition in Afghanistan? Surely it is a lot more liberal and "progressive" country than the backwards US, no one would have had a problem with visas or anything.
The gov shills of the copyright mafia don't care, they already shut down the website.
And if the hell froze and the the judge agreed with the defense, I guess the owner should sue the gov thugs for lost profits. (keep dreaming)

"Freedom is always illegal because the people who want power over you will always say: "Keeping what you earn is against the law, being armed is against the law, determining your own future is against the law""
First the government monopolizes the market, makes it virtually "illegal" for private companies to do anything related to space. Decades later it reduces the business risk from prohibitive to barely manageable (protracted and expensive licensing and compliance with its requirements, instead of total prohibition as before). Now we are supposed to thank it for occasionally helping those who dare to operate in this hostile environment it created? What a perverse world we live in.
"Law enforcement and the agencies that build their plate scanners have argued in favor of the legality of such data collection, so it's not like they can suddenly start cracking down on private citizens doing the same." ~~~ Nonsense. Government does not like competition. Try to do something "legal" that it does and see how it will tolerate it. E.g. try "taxing" people.

Sheeple will still vote for this gangster.
No way I'm moving to overregulated/overbureaucratized/overtaxed US. Hong Kong is so much business-friendly.
Anyone surprised that these two are copyright mafia shills? Google "intellectual property is neither property nor intellectual"
Such complaints are en example of what someone aptly called "the cult of novice."
Great, we should give the government more information about ourselves and let them spy on us 24/7.
"Employment" is a socialist nonsensical term, in reality everyone just provides services to each other.
Buy your twisted logic building contractors should be able to dictate house prices to developers.
