Why should we wait until this person has actually killed potentially hundreds of people with a bomb or some similar device or act before acting against him?
Then why not just arrest everyone, just in case they might someday think about doing something bad. *everyone* has potential under your concepts, and is not a world i want to live in.
And i can call 100% BS on the statement that you "have to be planning something if you research something". Else we have millions of serial killers in the making from reading Steven King books and going to see Hitchcock movies.. ( for example ). Hate to break it to you but curiosity and entertainment is still legal and harmless.
Yep, it sux to be a British national ( in many ways like this ), but I fully expect this same sort of thing to happen here in the US real soon. Under the same BS excuses of 'protectionism'.
Also, don't expect to be grandfathered in if you have *ever* purchased a book from a still existing retailer or publisher. They will have their records searched and the feds will be coming to see you ( and me ).
Just because it was 'legal' knowledge or activity once, doesn't mean it always will be.
1 - because you are under contract with a carrier's network and they are requiring it to protect their network 2 - beacuse some industries are fighting for it to protect their content ( like mpaa/riaa ) 3 - keep you coming back only to their store for content.
Its a tactic to get their way by making people think they are getting their way, but in a few years it quietly expires and goes the way of what congress really wanted if no one notices.
You will care when you cant access any tools to do it if they are all blocked, and perhaps even be logged that you tried to access the tools, or if you get them and succeed in jail breaking your service goes dark and a warrant is automatically issued.( it can be detected by the carriers if its a cell phone ya know.. )
Symantec has bought out several good companies where there is no good replacement yet ( free or commercial ).
Im taking things such as Ghost ( corporate, not the mess they made of the home version ), much of the Altiris management suite and workflow, some backup tools... And I'm sure there are others too.
But i agree, that most of what they have bought they have eventually destroyed, and what isn't toast yet will be in time.
Applies to most everyone that they want it to. And since due process is out the window and you are assumed guilty due to a simple accusation, good luck proving your innocence.
Not really. If you are using the main 'index' sites, they do their best to completely remove CP and other hard core offensive items, and categorize what is left. So it's quite easy to avoid viewing the "sites" you don't agree with.
Sure you might see that it exists, but you wont see the actual content that offends you. Not much different than real life.
1 - If you dont like someting dont look at it.. its not that hard really. Plenty of regular content there if you take 5 minutes to look. 2 - Content will only incrase/change if more people use it. ( oh, and speed too.. )
All municipal operations are tax funded. That is the whole point of them. This is just a back door way to make sure there are no public funded alternatives, so they can keep their monopolies.
They should be fined at the least for even suggesting it.
I don't care if its enforceable or not, as if they are really trying to force you to transfer ownership just for using their 'distribution channel' then shame on them.
I can see them being stuck on/in all sorts of objects like RFID tags are now, scanning everyone that touches them. Clothes, elevator buttons.. Reporting back all sorts of data that is no ones business.
People like this are scary, especially when they are/will/were in power. Its all about using FUD in getting people to agree to being squelched and controlled. Only this time its with flag waving, not diaper changes.
In your example you could have had insurance/pay your bills in the first place, so its a non discussion related to the original topic. Try again with a rational argument if you want to continue. If not, then see ya.
And ill say the same thing i did to the last idiot. If you love socialism so much get the hell out of my country. You don't belong here.

Then sell the botnets to the highest bidder.
Kidding aside, with the way the market is, its going to be pretty rough.
Pretty much nothing. We don't have the funding or strings required to even be heard, let alone action taken on our requests.
You assume that its for the little guy.. it works quite well for the industry.
They consider it a good thing.
Where do I hide guys???
Not in Brittan apparently.
Since the 'cookbook is a sad joke, you are ok.

Many of us have larger collections.. Why is this 'news' ?
1 - because you are under contract with a carrier's network and they are requiring it to protect their network
2 - beacuse some industries are fighting for it to protect their content ( like mpaa/riaa )
3 - keep you coming back only to their store for content.
Follow the money, then you will find your answer.

Welcome to the 'net, 2015 where its a ghost town.

Solves both problems. And you don't have to trust any one company, or result to illegal tactics like bot nets.
Its really about time everyone moves over to it.

Business sue other business they think are infringing on their products/ip/etc.. Apple is a big company, so it will be big numbers.
*yawn*

Yes, so they can claim common carrier status... seems pretty smart to me. If you have any idea at all, you are screwed.
No, that is no longer the case. If you exist at all you are screwed. The only question is when and how hard.
In this new brave world it doesn't matter if you are legit or not. All they have to do is point a finger at you and you are gone.
Due process is no longer in effect.
It was fun while it lasted. This is just the beginning.
