  1. Re:What would they do if they see something? on DHS Eyes Covert Body Scans · · Score: 1

    I don't think consent trumps the constitution, or case law built around it per-se.

  2. Re:Enough of this already on Tolkien Estate Censors the Word "Tolkien" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It IS censorship, whether or not it is JUSTIFIABLE censorship is another matter entirely.

    Again...
    If it was just about copyright infringement and not about control, why not just use the laws that exist instead of tacking on new stuff?
    ? How do you know people aren't being responsible, or that you aren't miscategorizing people [especially by assuming that opposing RIAA == supporting piracy, erroneous on many levels]?

    How is it possibvle that trhis isn't a troll at worst, flamebait at best?

  6. Re:Safe torrents? on Over 40,000 John Doe Copyright Troll Cases Dismissed · · Score: 2

    But of course first you need to define safe - safe with regards to legality or illegality, and/or likelihood of getting caught, or safe with regards to malware, etc? You gotta admit, "what is safe"? in of itself with nothing else is quite an ambiguous question.

  9. Re:What about encrypted communications? on FBI Complains About Wiretapping Difficulties Due To Web Services · · Score: 1

    Privacy on any level is about concealment, whether necessary or un-necessary, for good or bad. Youi can't have something and nothing to hide at once, shit, given human nature - and the nature of privacy, nothing to hide is impossible to begin with, but the idea of having something to hide and nothing to hide simultaneously, making P ^ ~P = true when logically impossible, makes my brain explode.

    If you have a Facebook account, you've already failed my job interview. You can't be trusted to make intelligent decisions with data,

    /s?

    You do know the logical error in that statement right? Privacy = concealment, regardless of it being for good, or bad reasons, necessary or un-necessary. Therefore, if you have something to hide, which is anybody who believes in or uses privacy, you can't have nothing to hide. P ^ ~P = F no matter what bullshit you try to throw into the syste,.

  14. Re:Really? on How Do Seeders Profit From BitTorrent? · · Score: 1

    No, its not stolen because you never had that money to begin with, as in you logically can't have money taken from you that you didn't have to begin with. Potential profit is still money you don't have and are not guaranteed to make, remember?

    If I recall, piracy killed the Dreamcast not a PS2 announcement.

    Well, your history is rusty. It isn't A MERE ANNOUNCEMENT that is being cited but the timing with the PS2 in general and that, IMO of course, is a much larger cause of the Dreamcast's death.

    Of course, just because it is better than what occurs in another country doesn't make it ok by proxy.

    Uh... no, you can say your pencil is worth whatever you feel like it, but you didn't have that money stolen from you - you didn't even have it to begin with. Hard to lose money you didn't have to begin with, isn't it?

    Uh... that part [editing it out so autocomplete doesn't have said term] sounds like it treads on the basic definition of censorship to me.
