But presumably the Brazilian Google exec was just that -- a Brazilian living and working in Brazil, and presumably under the jurisdiction of their justice system (no matter how non-local the video hosting was).
Are you saying that I, an American citizen am not under the jurisdiction of the Brizilian justice system when in Brazil?
American companies are sued all the time in other countries. For example, Brizillian authorities arrested Google's top executive in Brazil after officials said he violated the South American country's election law when he didn't take down online videos that allegedly slandered a political candidate.
So, it's not just the United States, and indeed it happens quite often all over the world.
What's a person gonna do with a million of data records - maybe sell it or is it just a proof of "concept"?
Very often people reuse the same passwords and user names over a swath of accounts. Not always, but often enough that knowing a gaming account that should be "throw away" or at least not the same as your Amazon or Banking account... can get a fraudster in the door and clean you out.
A 3D printed finger alone often canâ(TM)t unlock a phone these days. Most fingerprint readers used on phones are capacitive, which means they rely on the closing of tiny electrical circuits to work. The ridges of your fingers cause some of these circuits to come in contact with each other, generating an image of the fingerprint. Skin is conductive enough to close these circuits, but the normal 3D printing plastic isnâ(TM)t, so Arora coated the 3D printed fingers in a thin layer of metallic particles so that the fingerprint scanner can read them.
Why would you use a heavier-than-air craft to essentially hover?
Let me explain this to you:
This has nothing to do with drones and everything to do with FACEBOOK! FACEBOOK! FACEBOOK!
Just as Amazon got so much free press about drone delivery - that cannot possibly happen for years if at all - this is the work of rich boys with expensive toys that love publicity.
If there is any commercial as in for profit RICH BOY COMPANY that has done realistic experimentation, look at Google.
As for Zuckerberg? Self-pleasuring, most likely in front of a mirror.
That's irrelevant if the terms weren't legally binding.
Can you read? The terms are legally binding. The terms were fully disclosed. Let's just say this again: The terms wer fully disclosed, and are legally binding. FULLY DISCLOSED AND LEGALLY BINDING.
Sure, what VW did was flaky, bad, evill, and so on. But now we are getting into the "obligitory" cash grab, none of these law suites will result in resources to address "climate change" or give VW owners more than a cupon for a Big Mac.
What is surprising about this? Anything? Facebook and Twitter are private for-cashola businesses, not governmental ogs... Other government can and will block them as they see a benefit to their junta.
This has the added benefit of making the government the money launderer.
The IRS would simply seize the refund as ill-gotten gains of a Federally illegal "crime".
The solution is the get with the reality that most Americans want legal weed, and in any case, classifying it Schedule 1 drug is simply absurd no matter how you feel about legalization.
The "cost" of a breach is certainly high, but a lot of the time, these numbers are inflated. For example, do you calculate in the time of your own IT staff that you would be paying anyway ? Yesterday, because of an auto accident that slowed down my commute home, I lost almost $14,000. You see, I value my personal time at $7,000 an hour.
Seeing as how this is Arkansas, the only circulating copy has a long waiting list.
That's an interesting comment.
My father who is 78 told me that in the 50's his mother (my grandmother) had the SMUGGLE "The Catcher in the Rye" back for him from Europe in her "dainty things" because she was sure they would not look there, her being an upstanding woman.

Actually, I didn't read the actual article, so I can't literally gage the actual value of your actual comment.
Does anyone use LinkedIn anymore? It has any value at all? After spamming all my professional contacts and my personal contacts, I was out.
I'm not twelve.

it's called extradition treaties and they've been doing it for years. Team America: World Police
Many countries have such treaties, not just the United States, and not just with the United States.

The scientists are giving them the finger?
Pretty much giving the finger to privacy...
And Jain said he was happy to help when they got in touch: "We do it for the fun."

So, someone mirrors an out of date torrent site (out of date by a year and a half??? and this is Slashdot frontpage news?
The problem with Neck-Beards like you is that your thinking is distorted from the low-light conditions in your mom's basement.
you aren't guaranteed or entitled to the same plan for the rest of eternity, only the duration of the contract.
Bingo!
Sometimes it's hard to explain this to the "Free As In I'm Living In Mom's Basement" crowd.

Yes, well, in this case it is A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT and a bunch of slimy rich farmers are shit out of luck.
NO ONE BUYS A FEW $300,000 TRACTORS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE CONTRACTS OR HAVING THEIR LAWYER VETT IT.
TheY bought expensive farm equipment at loss-leader prices, knowing full well that the cheap ticket value was supported by maint. contracts.
That's irrelevant if the terms weren't legally binding.
Can you read? The terms are legally binding. The terms were fully disclosed. Let's just say this again: The terms wer fully disclosed, and are legally binding. FULLY DISCLOSED AND LEGALLY BINDING.
...it should be easy to see that they are right (whether any particular farmer is greedy/rich or not).
When they bought the equipment, they knew the terms.
Sure, what VW did was flaky, bad, evill, and so on. But now we are getting into the "obligitory" cash grab, none of these law suites will result in resources to address "climate change" or give VW owners more than a cupon for a Big Mac.
But they have no right to force it on them.
The farmers can own the equipment, but the sales agrement says John Deere owns the software.
NOW...
This being so (and it IS so), what about an "open source" hack of the "proprietary" John Deere software?
HAVING SAID THAT...
Read the post above about greedy rich farmers.
That web site... 1990's GeoCities... Really? You know what's missing? Headlines with the FLASH tag...

You're paying the IT staff to clean up after a data breach, rather than doing something productive that they normally do.
Like maintaining the company WoW server or surfing Slashdot?

Go fuck yourself.

This is a true story.
