    And the former is a in clear violation of the US Constitution and open to even more abuse, where at the latter just costs extra.

    So you are fine to let the government run over the rights in the hopes that it will be thrown out latter. Good to know.

    So you are fine with the police violating the rights of its citizens in arbitrary situations.

    No, you dont, unless you consider the memory used for buffering. Even if you wanna use the whole abstraction argument, it still resides on Googles side of the medium not on your slice of the medium. It is only on yours after you agree to the TOS and play it, and only for as long as you play it. Once you stop playing it is no longer on your side.

    The distribution medium is the internet, and you do not own the internet.

    That, again, is not time shifting. Time shifting is allowing you to watch something at a time other than when it is broadcast.

    That is not the same argument. Google could have just left Apple continue to do that, but they still went out and made their own app. The original app was a glorified web browser.

    The No it is not, not according to the SCOTUS. In this case you do not even have the leg to stand on that you bought the medium it is on.

    The google YouTube app came out in 2012, well after Andorid, which blows your entire argumment out of the water, as they did it when they were in a position of power. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CCsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computerworld.com%2Fs%2Farticle%2F9231172%2FGoogle_debuts_its_own_iOS_YouTube_app&ei=cOqUUZGDF5OG9QSp2YCgCQ&usg=AFQjCNGbdHvSiOLoKEFeSz50CdVu4SVSpg&bvm=bv.46471029,d.eWU Also here google is not removing YouTube, just forcing them from stopping their abuse of their terms. Users can still go to the website.

    This is not time shifting.. On the internet you can view these videos anytime you want... So time shifting is not the issue.

    It is massively different than using an ad blocker. First when usng their APIs they agreed to the TOS. Second Ad Block Modifies your browser to change what it displays, it does not directly access YouTube and download the videos in violation of the TOS, while not displaying the ads..

    So why would you need to create a new law to enforce an existing law.. That is essentially what you are claiming here. The answer is you dont, Tesla is not the one trying to change the law, they are just trying to sell something. I always love it when a political party shows their hypocritical.
