Your analysis is 100% incorrect. Apple is in violation of the copyright.
Apple, or B&N as in your example, may may a contractual or common law right to indemnification from the upstream publisher, but distributing copyrighted items without permission is a violation of copyright.
Sometimes secrets are useful. Given all the money I pay in taxes I would hope my government is at least making plans to keep some of those secrets secret.
What about now that your have a wife, two kids, a mortgage, two car payments, etc.
A helpdesk person's job is to facilitate the business that the organization conducts. They are a necessary evil, not the reason the organization exists.
Courts can bloviate all they wish. You're confusing two legal concepts: The case and controversy requirement, and dicta.
A court requires an actual case with actually adverse parties.* This is the case and controversy requirement.
That said, courts can bloviate all they wish. The fancy legal term is dicta. It is not binding on any court, not even the same Court. Sometimes distinguishing between the real opinon and dicta can be tricky.
However, if the Court's reasoning is strong, other parties will incorporate it into their arguments and it will be adopted by other courts making their own decisions.
Without reading the order, it sounds like the Court got it right. I.e. the damages question is a tricky one and excessive damages are to be guarded against, attorney's fees shouldn't be a slam dunk, and Fair Use exists - however downloading whatever you feel like just to list to on your ipod isn't Fair Use.
Please cut the white collar aerospace welfare program by at least 75%.
They haven't done anything really interesting in manned flight in almost 40 years, and until we invent warp drives, manned exploration will continue to be a waste of tome and money.
The unmanned exploration is mostly useless. Nobody other than soil scientists care whether the crust of Mars is 27.6% silica or 27.7& silica.
The sheriff is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. He is asking the court to declare that Craigslist is a public nuisance due to its active facilitation of prostitution in Chicago. Additionally, the sheriff is asking the Court to order Craigslist from continuing its practices.
As to standing, when the matter involves a public matter, such as crime or a public nuisance, the state has standing to seek judicial relief.

Let's hope.

They threatened to sue the journalists reporting the story.
Is NewEgg going to apologize for the way their attorney's threatened to sue the journalists reporting this story?
A thieves' den of defamation and invasion of privacy.
who thought the original was boring?
Video clip (may spoil the movie)
Don't worry. The plot, screenplay, direction and acting take care of that nicely.
Mods?
Wasn't that things 15 minutes up last August?

Dear ObaMao;
Please cut the white collar aerospace welfare program by at least 75%.
They haven't done anything really interesting in manned flight in almost 40 years, and until we invent warp drives, manned exploration will continue to be a waste of tome and money.
The unmanned exploration is mostly useless. Nobody other than soil scientists care whether the crust of Mars is 27.6% silica or 27.7& silica.
Thank you.
I really haven't encountered a compelling feature exclusive to XP, Vista or 7 to upgrade beyond 2000.
2000 has a clean efficient interface and is unencumbered by all of the bloat and runs 32 bit apps.
Except for Cleartype, what real improvements do any of the above offer?
Hell, what about regrowing some hair?
An impartial country would have no leverage over Israel to move it towards peace.
E.g. if Canada, Thailand and Bulgaria strongly urge Israel to make concessions, nobody cares.
The only actor that can influence Israel is a partial USA.
my mind just assploded
Probably has something to do with having your head up your ass and not knowing what you are talking about.
Classy, Osama. Real Classy.

Technically a prosecution is a criminal lawsuit brought by the state.
At least it is in the US. I presume Italy is a civil law system an it very may well be different over there.
You post made no sense at all.
