The 5th amendment does not protect you from being required to provide subpoenaed materials. It just means you dont have to testify or speak out about maters which may incriminate you. I can easily see how supplying a password or decryption key would not be covered. But it would be a hard call to make in my opinion.
To me this sounds like some contractor introduced a bug to the system and is attributing the issues it caused to "hackers". If the system is really open to attacks of this nature, then it is fundamentally flawed.
I forget, are we anti copyright or pro GPL this week? Cause you cant be both. Only way the GPL works is with copyright law to back it up and enforce it. The GPL and other licenses can extend to people usage rights that are not covered by copyright, but they can not deny rights that are otherwise available. So if someone violates the GPL, copyright law resends their rights to the code etc. Without copyright law, there are no penalties for violating the GPL or any other license agreement.
There is a difference between being against something and being pissed off at it. I am against my neighbors barking dogs, but if I get pissed off enough I'll get a sack and take a trip to the river.
Wow, your bank must suck. Mine will give me a credit the same day I report a disputed charge on my debit card. What's more, there are no fees and most importantly no interest.
First off, the theoretical you we are talking about agreed to this with the terms of service for your phone. Secondly, how is this more of an invasion then needing your social security number, two years pay history and a full credit report?
No, you see the DMCA makes it the copyright holders job to go after offenders. That clearly isn't aceptable. So these new bills make it Google and other like serves responsable for blocking entire sections of the internet that have been deemed as naughty. Much less effort on the part of the media conglomerates, even if it is an unreasonable request to make of search engines, forums, etc.
For example, it would become the responsibility of SlashDot to prevent all posts that link to or mention the Pirate Bay. That's much easier then having to admit that our laws dont have effect in Norway.
Your rights end where mine begin is why you can declare nukes free speech. What's more, money was deemed to be speech by the supreme court. That's why PACs can collect and spend as much as they want on campaign adds etc.
We'll know next week when it gets voted on. But even if the bill's get defeated, they will just be tweaked and resubmitted. This will be an ongoing issue that will require massive amounts of vigilance. Many bills are not even read before being voted on. If SOPA/PIPA get renamed "the blankets and apple pie for war orphans" bills we may be in trouble.
Wouldn't solve anything as the next one will be just as bad. The system breeds corruption, punishing the corrupt is addressing the symptom and not the cause.
A limitation on the means of exercising a right is a limitation on the right. Saying you have the right to free speech, but not the right to exercise that right is silly.

Meh, all us Gaijin look the same to them.

So you want to roll out a private network along each mile of rail?
Why not? In most cases that's where the major fiber cables run any how.
Did it not cause an ice age?
The current thinking is that it extended the ice age for a large part of asia and europe.

Hey... in some places that sort of treatment comes with a high price tag. You got for free what others pay for!

More or less. Just canceled my account. Whole point was to be able to send people files too large for email.
What's more, there are no fees and most importantly no interest.
So, essentially same (or actually worse) than a credit card?
Your credit card charges no interest and no fees? Sorry don't believe you.

Without a history of debt and repayment you will have a hard time getting a loan for a house etc.

I knew those ferrets where up to something. They must be stopped!
All your files end up on drives being sold on eBay.
For much the same reason they get free health care from the government and yet fight against the rest of us getting it.
A better question would be, if corporations are people, wouldn't buying stocks violate the 13th amendment abolishing slavery?
In fact, technically you need a HDCP compliant monitor, video card and HDMI cable to play back blu-ray movies under Windows 7.
Because mini-displayport is more expensive, I mean "better".
Bad news. Chuck Norris is a christian fundamentalist & republican.
