Maybe the whole suit isn't intended to win, but to kill off Linux by losing. Once execs hear "SCO lost their assets because one of their programmers contributed to Linux" they will do whatever they can to keep their own employees from contributing.
The article discusses the implications of pictures of you floating around, but what about pictures of your data? With picture phones in everyone's pocket, every internal memo and every screenshot of products under development is just a click away from your competitors.
The person standing behind you in line is well-placed both to shoulder-surf your pin code and to lift your latent fingerprint off the reader.
With a credit card they still have to get the card from you even if they shoulder-surf your PIN. This way they can just lift the print with a piece of tape or something and make the mold at home for later use since you can't tell you've been compromised.
They don't even need to move to a website... Sec. 103 (b) allows time-shifting only for "an over-the-air broadcast, non-premium cable channel, or non-premium satellite channel". How long until the only things broadcast over-the-air are ads for programs only available on "premium channels"? For that matter, do the "extended basic" channels (like Sci-Fi, Cartoon Network, CNN, Discovery, History) that seem to be the only ones I watch already count as "premium channels"?
