There is a definite chilling effect arising from the indiscriminate use of takedown notices on Youtube, which can serve to effectively censor legitimate content by anyone who disagrees with it. The only way to prevent it is to attach some cost to this behavior.
This is a perfect opportunity to get that pesky free speech done away with. Just declare every kind of government-critical information a "misuse of computers", and you can institute a quarantine on any "zombie" computer being used to distribute malicious "anti-government spam". It's such an awesome plan that I feel the urge to cackle.
I have my doubts that giving weapons of mass destruction to cockroaches is an effective way to exterminate them. In that sense we are not quite as hard to kill as cockroaches.
(In other news, I've just come up with the Sci-Fi/horror plot of the year.)
we are sure that we will get to the money at some point in time. Direct banking transfers generally are much better for us, as that prevents this issue from happening. If you can reverse it, and want to transfer directly, its fine by us. But cant say how much of a hassel that is.
Thanks for the support and the solidarity!

What I said is that you should at least not be punished more, as happened here.
This summary read like the back cover of a sequel to Neuromancer.
Well, "fool me twice... you can't get fooled again."
You forgot the infinite loop.
Finally someone calls this what it is.
That is because strong anonymity works best when keeping a low profile. Disruptive actions tend to leave a wide trail.
Wise Beard Man was right: The consequences of using illegal means in this conflict will eventually outweigh the benefit.
(Still, jail seems kind of disproportionate. Scientology has engaged in worse online censorship-fraud without even being fined.)
Nice Troll mod there, dude.
Morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet, eh?
It is tangentially connected to someone getting shot?
Horizontal transfer isn't really over, either - we still have retroviruses.
To be precise, there is no theory that says your grandfather was a monkey. The religious nuts made that straw-man up all on their own. :P
And we're still alive!
You're saying that now. :-P
That was a very clever trick. NASA won't need to worry about getting the funding to build long-range spacecraft anymore now. Devious...
Don't abuse the DMCA.

I'll be keeping my "static", spam-free music, thank you.
Shame on you, shame! Bad China! Go sit in a corner.
Oh, you don't want to sit in the corner?
You're angry we called you bad?
We're so sorry, we won't say it again. We beg your forgiveness.

You are being unrealistically non-greedy. What if everyone thought like you?
(We'd have an information-age utopia, that's what. Not going to happen.)
Ah, you've never used NT. :)
Oh dear... that means a violin might cause the apocalypse?
Here's their response to my question:
It already is a bank - at least in Europe.
This doesn't seem to help.
Meanwhile, back in reality...
Aside from the air friction, it's going to jolt like hell when his chute opens and he starts to decelerate.
