I am not a lawyer (yet), but it looks as if the villagers are going to have a hell of a time proving duty and proximate causation. I wonder if this case is anything more than a publicity stunt.
IIRC according to ABA model rules you are allowed to take a stake in the property as part of a contingency fee (because that would not make your interest conflict with your client's interest), but you are not allowed to go out on your own and purchase an interest in the property (which would put your interests in conflict with those of the client).

IANAL. Abridgements of the freedom of speech get strict scrutiny. Protecting the public from indecency (boobies) somehow passes the strict scrutiny test.

Not necessarily. Violence in defense on inalienable rights is always a last resort. A constitution that protects minority rights and a judicial system that protects and helps vindicate those rights should make violence unnecessary.
That is why democracy fails. It is literally two wolves and one lamb voting on what is for dinner. A constitutional republic is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote*.
I hope it wasn't a government/public school. I may not be a lawyer, but I think that there are some procedural checks in there to prevent schools from infringing student's rights.
So? You think people dont scan them and upload them all the time? It is arguably just as easy to download a comic as it is to drive to a store and buy it.

Someone has been giving the authoritarians mod points lately, me thinks.
If you measure it according to the official units for extra-terrestial objects, it is the size of two volkwagon beetles.
It's not going to happen now that you explained it to death, and then picked apart its corpse for good measure.

There are plenty of legitmate uses for bit torrent. Blizzard uses it to distribute patches, and vuze uses it to distribute liscensed content.
Oh please, big government, save us from ourselves by outlawing more things! We don't need to be personally accountable for our own actions!
Does ebay have any real competitors? Gunbroker doesn't really count.
When a company starts getting abusive with what it does, it may be best to go elsewhere.

Does the term "judge shopping" mean anything to you?

Why is it always naturalized citizens from china, or American-born citizens who's parents were born in China that are in the news for doing this?
What about the danish studies that show that global temperatures are tied to solar cycles, and that the sun is in a cool cycle currently?

Grandma died, time to take down her picture and burn it.
I can just see all the bacon dishes using this in the future if the meat glows too.

40 billion, spread over how many aircraft, and paid for by how many hundreds of thousands of airline tickets and freight bills?

How is the comics business doing? Still trying to be hip and edgy, but saddled with a failing business model?
Only "terrorists" have hobbies involving rocketry or chemistry. Big Brother is watching you.
It's NY. NO ONE is honest there. Just look at all the corporate headquarters there...
The federal tort claims act may allow it, or it may not. IANAL, and I am too lazy to look it up.
