This. I understand the need for corporations to be able to take down entire movie content et al from being served in public, as much as we would like things for free, movies do cost, there needs to be profit to get them funded etc.
However...
The pendulum is on the movie producers side right now, and they are shilling legitimate content etc as much as possible, and would rather have something by default taken down incorrectly than do their due diligence. The best way to solve this, is when an incorrect takedown notice has been issued without honest and reasonable proof that the correct steps have been taken to identify illegitimate content according to the laws, the party requesting the unlawful removal of content should become liable for any damages that occur from the takedown, and that those damages should be commensurate with the calculations used when movies are pirated, as obviously it is the same goods we are speaking of.
I've always wondered at what point in time do atomic clocks become more accurate than time dilation differences as we move through the universe from one place on Earth to the other.
This. A thousand times This. I have been in meetings where security has explicitly been regarded as irrelevant, where one way encrypting passwords from plaintext on the client is irrelevant, and where we can trust our employees to always do the right thing with all of our users passwords, and "what could they do with the passwords that is outside of our irrelevant application" was bandied around the room as acceptable.
They should not be teaching the importance of such things to CS students, but much rather to the MBA's and BBus students. It's not the knowledge of the need for security amongst those that build, but the desire to pay for it from Management.
But look on the bright side, at least now some evil spammers are going to get shot, drawn and quartered, or whatever other creative forms of capital punishment they dish out over there.
Great, so now not only if we are a namesake with a wanted "enemy of the state", but also if our names are soundex or Levenshtein Distance 3 similar, we are going to get detained, cavity searched and otherwise.
This was covered by the sage of sages, Leslie Nielsen years ago!
Hey! You call this slop? Real slop has got chunks of things in it! This is more like gruel! And this Château le Blanc '68 is supposed to be served slightly chilled! This is room temperature! What do you think we are? Animals?
Hmm, nanotech assembly, build anything you want from the molecular level upwards, and the most "radical" idea they have is for a piece of furniture? Talk about using a sledgehammer to crack a peanut.
If a member of our community wants to set sail for the promised land, let them go with god, but just go! (A little funding was to give them a nudge on the way. );)
Since the correlation of GDP vs damage caused via disasters is being painted as causation, the Pro Climate change crows is just annoyed that their patent didn't go through on this new "scientific approach", and don't like an opposing view using their own "scientific methods" against them.

Sony should have to pay restitution to Blender.

Just because you're paranormal doesn't mean ghosts aren't following you.
I've always wondered at what point in time do atomic clocks become more accurate than time dilation differences as we move through the universe from one place on Earth to the other.
And who set the criteria for and hired those legions? The first stage to solving a problem, is to admit that you have a problem.

Meh, just get rid of mirrors altogether. Far too many drivers don't bother using them anyway.
That's when you start driving 10 mph
Enjoy reading my 10 Gb of spam!
Can you hear me now?
I'd like that in bitcoins please! (They aren't making any more of those either)
More likely he owned a copy of Mein Cronut. He doesn't have a glandular problem. That adonis like physique takes effort!
But look on the bright side, at least now some evil spammers are going to get shot, drawn and quartered, or whatever other creative forms of capital punishment they dish out over there.
So, Mr oBama would have a Levenshtein distance of 1 with oSama then? Good job there.

What an excellent replication of the modern democratic process! What would you like to drink? Coke, Pepsi or New Coke?
Meh, in the long term we're all dead anyway.
Throw your storage devices into a black hole, and make sure that your data gets preserved for eternity.
Coming soon, the ability to retrieve the data from the event horizon should it be required again.

The last tree to call me a knuckle dragging, chainsaw wielding idiot didn't last too long after I got the mud out of my chainsaw.
The worst side effect is splinters though.

1. Carefully monitor citizens communications.
2. Send dissenters and anarchists to Room 101 for retraining.
3. ???
4. Profit
So, you're saying that Five-Thirty-Eight got past the Four-Twenty of the climate debate?

Completely understandable!
