Expect Congress to exempt themselves from SOPA, just as they did with insider trading laws. In fact if they realize they could be charged for streaming those videos they may just exempt themselves from having to pay to use copy-written material for political uses at all. Certainly enough of them have been caught using material without the author's permission to make them think about it and this would solve that little issue.
It might be because of an ocean. This is an evolutionary process. If a specific strain has evolved that is resistant and unusually infectious and that strain is moving through European hospitals then to get to the US it would have to cross over, get a hold and start growing here. The other way for it to get to the US would be to simultaneously independently evolve under similar environmental pressures. We can debate how similar the pressures are (how much the US misuses antibiotics vs. Europe) but the fact is there still has to be a mutation and it could be that Europe just happened to draw the short straw.
My experience with hackerspaces and government officials is that they really don't think the same way. One is all about breaking the rules and the other is all about living within them. I suppose it's possible for government to fund them and let them loose but it is certainly out of character. Big money tends to draw corruption too and that's death to a knowledge sharing environment.
Seriously. Ok, it's a fast golf cart with less range. Why does everyone get excited every time someone figures out you can put a motor to some wheels for less than $50k?
And even better, statistically you're likely to die just as you finish saving for retirement at age 80 so it goes to pay your childrens' college costs!
Yes, but only for current members of the ruling class. Once they've lost their job they're hosed unless they have friends still in office or with political power.
If they think you actually know it it's contempt of court.That means no trial and you're in jail until you give up that password (the record is 14 years I understand, though that was for something other than a password).
The only people who get to decide what's offensive are the prosecutor or DA (who brings charges) and the jury (if there is one). What you find offensive simply doesn't matter because it will not be brought up in the courtroom.
In reality this will be a handy way of imposing legal costs, fines and jail time on anyone the DA doesn't like or who offends people with influence in that department.
Yep, except digitally integrated with the photo so it can't be removed and is copied with the image itself. Easy to argue for (the think of the children and copywright defense arguments pop right to mind but almost any prosecutor would love to have an unimpeachable connection between every copy of a given photo and the camera that took it), easy to do, and not expensive. Also pretty invasive.
I think the issue is that a lot of spontaneous event video is shot of people who would rather not be caught doing whatever they're doing (and know it in advance) by Joe-off-the-street who would be unlikely to prepare for the event.
Is embedding the ID code of the camera in every photo taken so officials can find out who is taking which photos. If it doesn't exist already it's less than five years out.
If you make the laws you decide what illegal 'piracy' is. These third world countries are only pirating if it is illegal to copy the software in their country because US copyright and trade laws don't apply in other countries any more than their laws apply here. At some point one of these governments is going to realize that they can simply nationalize software just like they nationalize oil companies and collect all the cash themselves. It is only a desire to maintain good relations with the US that could prevent that.
There are 27 million small businesses in the US. If groupon can make $14 * 300 = $4200 per business the potential market is $113 billion. (And that ignores selling to the 58% that said they'd do it again).

Tread lightly? See this big boot labeled "Well Funded Lobbyists"? Why tread lightly when I can more profitably crush you underneath this boot?

Sounds like all those computer laws - which now by proxy include all TOS - are begging to get thrown out.

And even if you can defend yourself you'll probably go broke doing so. We've left behind the rule of law and moved to the rule of simple power.

We don't have a permit to protest it.

Time for an iPhone app - it should be on iTunes after just a few weeks of Apple review.

The newspapers will probably not be prosecuted unless they attack the DA or other political figures.

Study dated 1998. It's probably worth looking into given the minor changes in the world since then.
Personally I'd concentrate on the most serious drugs. Life doesn't look happy for the average crystal meth user.
Tanner's ROCKS but they're only in Dallas. The internet companion store is BGmicro.com (they buy together).
It started Feb 1 when Bitcoins were $1 ea, now they are $6-8 each. You might have missed the boat.

That's a lot of money to go through.
