It is the pervasive nature of this growing panopticon, driven by cries of the need for extraordinary power because terrorists!, followed by immediate re-use (i.e. you lied) for normal, if disturbing, crimes of drug sales and kiddie porn. Plain ol' crime investigation follows immediately. Well, probably not even follows. Coincidental with.
Why? Gross lies and fraud here. No, we deny you the panopticon, especially your sloppy, sloppy implementation with little tracking of use -- remember LOVEINT where agents track people their hearts throb for? What if an agent spies on a political opponent for their political boss?
You have no way to track this, and thus review it by elected officials. Yet this is the primary concern the Founding Fathers had in the Bill of Rights, to prevent the Right of Kings to go mucking around in the affairs of their political rivals and other uppity folks who might challenge their power.
It's cool they could sell it to oppressive governments to help their murderous thug leaders keep their boot pressed on their subjects' necks. That's the important thing for free countries.
In the case of the First Amendment, The People specified that balance. Congress shall make no law.
This includes the right to not say a coerced thing. They kinds get away with it with cigarette or food labels, but those are more truth in advertising, and some of those get thrown out even still.
Coercing someone to write someone else's viewpoint is completely out.
At last check, the US was producing 57% of the world's new drugs.
So, no, everybody else is backwards and should be more like us. Giving drugs out for free presumes they are innvented, first. Death, driven by reality, is conquered by advancing technology the fastest. Giving it out for free warms the heart, but is several magnitudes the smaller problem.
The law was to give host systems safe harbor by allowing them to escape a lawsuit as long as they took down infringing stuff in a timely way when complained to. Other coutries allow lawsuits, and to their detriment as it hampers their Internet industry.
Be very careful if you want to mess with this law.
One solution would be to direct the copyright black market profits for that infringement to the rightful owners when a successful copyright notice is made.
This should all be easy and automated, and will not endanger hosting companies with near infinite lawsuits.
Right of publicity, to have exclusive rights to sell your name and image off for products, but this cannot stop, say, unauthorized biographies and other articles and stories.
Apparently (and I get this from reading the article), it's not just the surface that's 99% oxygen, it's the whole star that is mainly oxygen.
Also the crazy thing is how he found it.......he had data from 300,000 stars printed out, on 300,000 pages, and just started reading through them one by one to see if there was anything interesting in the data.
That's kind of the way you have to look through porn.
I wonder what MS is doing with the mysterious info they collect. Is every web page I visit in Chrome reported back to them? (And are they reported to Google? I turned off every option I could find, and that web sotes on the subject said to do, but you never know.)
[...] the sole purpose for which is to make retribution possible.
Uh, no. The sole purpose is to make people think twice about their comments. Nothing stops you from posting, "The president is a [church bells]!" (to paraphrase Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles). Do you really want the whole world to know that you — under your real name — are just another racist nut job? Probably not.
Hopefully such schemes will get tossed by the Supreme Court, as they have long ruled that anonymous speech is protected by the First Amendment precisely for the reason you list -- so people cannot track you down for retibution.
It's ironic this is in a context of business as prime evil, rather than government power as prime evil.
When government has no power to grant economic favors to business, it can't be abused. Yet this is the primary reason politicians worldwide go into government -- so they can get in the way of enterprise, to get laid to get back out of the way.
This is interesting because it is in the middle ground between weather and climate predictions, something along the lines of what the Old Farmer'a Almanec wishes it could do.
How are APIs copyrightable anyway? Wasn't the whole Compaq lawsuit way back when about building functionality behind an API without changing the API? They wrote a detailed API spec for DOS and then had separate "pure" engineers who knew nothing about the DOS implementation build their own DOS, and thus they had a functionally identical clone of the DOS API such that DOS programs could run on Compaq's new PC clone.
"Hey, Warden! 'member that one guy seven years ago who called prison officials corrupt on Slashdot? The one among dozens? Well, we've tracked him ever since and he just got thrown in here for misuse of medical cocaine!"
"Finally! (emits a laugh, but it's more of a Renfield-like heheh heheh heheh than a muahahahaha)

This should provide some astonishing porn.
> factory to clone...humans
Because if there's one thing the Chinese are bad at, it's producing more humans.
It's time for a judge to rule a software license is meaningless and true ownership of a product with software in it is occuring.
Then let the lawyers do their thing with that.

Does the Scarlett model come with, ummm, that thing you said? A friend wants to know.
There's a meme for that -- price gouging!
That's not what it is, but you know, from a certain lawyerly pay me point of view...
Well the next question is why isn't this an option in the little storage space app.

I heard they have a new electric tractor sitting out in the parking lot because German law requires a new green tractor for all farms.

"We need this unusual power for terrorists! Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!"
"So you won't immediately use it for normal crimes?"
"Mmmmmm...pay no attention to that tiny pile of thousands of phones behind the curtain."
That was about large bakeries trying to put home (but pro) bakeries out of business by denying them lots of hours during crunch times like holidays.
There is nothing honorable about this big business, rent-seeking decision.
I'm sure a "global majority" support outlawing the other guy's religion, too.

It is similar to the right to a secret ballot.
Just waiting for the day some database from NSA is hacked and released, tying all histories and whatnot together.
Get paid to get back out of the way, but often it is get laid, too.
