Wow. I love how you manage to infer from TFA that Congress is behind this when they aren't mentioned at all. Oh those wacky senators and representatives with their nefarious plots.
Not in this instance. The DMCA allows copyright holders or their agents to issue subpeonas at will as long as the court clerk believes everything they say. In short, if the clerk doesn't have a reason to doubt the copyrighter enforcer, they'll issue the subpeona.
You can change the charges in mid trial? Smells like BS. I can't quite place why. But it smells fowl.
Um, maybe because the trial isn't held in the U.S.? Just because something can't be done in the U.S. legal system doesn't mean it can't be done in another country.
While I find the idea of being able to change charges in mid-stream a little. ..slimy, it's their court of law. What I do find chilling is that it seems the burden of proving that the change shouldn't be done is on the defense, rather than having the prosecution provide the burden of proof that the change should be done. Any/.ers for Norway care to comment?

But why the hell would anyone still be running Windows 95 in 2025? Or running games which run on Windows 95 in 2025?
Much better things will be available by then.
You say this in a thread talking about a game that was developed around 30 years ago that has gone offtopic from an article about an architecture that is at least as old. Are you on crack or something?:)
You mean the robot. The surgery was different, but I digress.
The biggest problem isn't the robot, but the lack of input. Normally, the doc has your internals spread wide open and he can see everything at once. With this puppy, the doc's vision is narrowed to the task he is currently performing.
Once some sort of real time non- or minimally invasive wide area imaging comes about, this sort of error will likely be reduced to the level it is at now in conventional surgery.
Or at least that's my idea of what the problem and solution are
It is hardly irrelevant. At least part of the purpose of a copyright is to allow the holder to make financial gains from their work. If someone else violates their copyright and makes money from it, the copyright holder is due restitution from lost revenue and/or revenue made from the work that violated the copyright.
If they did, indeed, offer enhanced access to BNETD servers in exchange for paying for them from Internet Gateway and they(Internet Gateway, Inc) used copyrighted code that was not lisenced to them, then Blizzard/Vivendi has every right to expect to both shut them down and make them pay those monies gained to Blizzard/Vivendi.

Great! Another industry lost to outsourcing!
Doesn't a subpoena have to be issued by a judge?

Unless you mean account number, which is unique to individuals. Usually.
