Probably depends on which stage of moral development (sensu KOHLBERG) society tries to 'enforce'.
Summary
At stage 1 children think of what is right as that which authority says is right. Doing the right thing is obeying authority and avoiding punishment. At stage 2, children are no longer so impressed by any single authority; they see that there are different sides to any issue. Since everything is relative, one is free to pursue one's own interests, although it is often useful to make deals and exchange favors with others.
At stages 3 and 4, young people think as members of the conventional society with its values, norms, and expectations. At stage 3, they emphasize being a good person, which basically means having helpful motives toward people close to one At stage 4, the concern shifts toward obeying laws to maintain society as a whole.
At stages 5 and 6 people are less concerned with maintaining society for it own sake, and more concerned with the principles and values that make for a good society. At stage 5 they emphasize basic rights and the democratic processes that give everyone a say, and at stage 6 they define the principles by which agreement will be most just.
Probably not stage 6 which would perhaps render your image, more like 3 or 4 if you are an optimist, 1 if you are a cynic (and look at sheeple, could not resist).
from TFA: "To do this work internationally, the bill also authorizes US intellectual property officers to be sent to other countries in order to assist with crackdowns there."
From TFA: '"Making the robot more compliant instead of stiff is plays a big part in that," he says, and the ability to measure and control the torque force at every joint is also crucial.'
Sounds like they have learned some Tai Chi lessons.
The issue with all electronic media is the ease of duplication. That's what all the DRM stuff is trying to address, and making such a mess of everything in the process.
The dawn of the 'singularity': Human intelligence is too narrow to cope with the situation. More 'technical': Upstream resource distribution models fail to meet a reality that calls for networked intelligent agents (you may add socially competent, or, to make it more vivid, 'able to deal with the tragedy of the commons') with the same level of privileges.
there was never any physical impediment to sitting down with a paper book and a Xerox machine, or even writing it out by hand. But it was laborious and time-consuming, sufficiently so that few people bothered. It was easier and cheaper to just buy a copy of the book.
Not exactly when I was a student. There were even 'pirated copies' (photo offset) of textbooks at about 30% cost, IIRC.
Maybe they're outsourcing security to the inmates who've been there before in exchange for privileges.
That was working during/after WWII. My father was a POW in Camp Roswell and he had the story that they exchanged/augmented the guards for/with German officers because the Americans were too easygoing.

Uhhh good. Cause, as has been said a hundred times before, wikipedia doesn't need know-it-all "experts". The point is to summarize the basic research that anyone can do.
If you're such a freakin' expert, go contribute out on the coal face - debate the controversies with the other experts - none of the stuff that is wanted or needed in an encyclopedia.
And thus spoke our encyclopedian overlord, without any space for a different opinion left, a gem of iconic language, a miracle of precision.
From TFA: "Think of the iPhone model: You get what Apple decides to give you, and if you try to hack your phone, they can disable it remotely. We techie geeks won't like it, but it's the future. The Internet is all about commerce, and commerce won't survive any other way."
I'd bet that (some inner) martial arts training would have helped to improve
Some (extra) food for thought: "Perception speed. When fighting, martial artists must constantly sense and respond to various stimuli. Mastering the ability to perceive the subtleties in an opponent's movements, is he attacking, retreating, punching or kicking? is the first phase of speed training. Simply seeing the opponent's movements is not enough. You must learn to hear, feel and smell the opponent's intentions.
Perception speed is defined as the time it takes you to mentally register the opponent's intentions once you first sense his offensive or defensive stimulus. To increase your speed of perception, it is important to maintain an attitude of "emptiness," or what Bruce Lee called "no-mindedness." You must learn not to concentrate too much on details. Look at nothing, but sense everything. According to Lee, "A concentrated mind is not an attentive mind, but a mind that is in the state of awareness can concentrate. Awareness is never exclusive, it includes everything. A mind must be wide open to function freely in thought." (emphasis mine)

Anything that could endanger life is subject to a high degree of verification which leaves little for innovation.
Especially with regard to health care.
Its similar to trains. What innovation we had since 1930s for Box Cars, etc?
Yes. The world speed record still is 574.8 km/h.

inkblot associations are intimately personal, and our own user studies verify that users almost always describe the same inkblots quite differently
Rohrschach = crap if considered as a psychological test (reliability, validity near to non-existent).
Do individual people respond to the same inkblots, the same way over time?
No (low retest reliability).
Only for those who practice psychology like a religion.
