  1. You do not seem to understand on Australian Consumer Watchdog Takes Valve To Court · · Score: 1

    Any "dick move" would be at minimum, contempt of court. That is extraditable and yes, the U.S. And Australia have a treaty. Many treaties. Not all are economic. You have no idea how deep this could go. No one enjoys a shit fight. It would not be allowed to get that far. Most probably this is happening and happening right because the ACCC wants to get up the nose of the horribly consumer unfriendly new Abbot government.

    Have you any idea of the complexity of international trading laws? None of your hypothetical is possible.

    Stop digging? You are digging fast enough for both of us. I am not and never claimed to be a lawyer. Nor do I need to be. I have access to a sufficiency. Not that I have consulted them over this as I would not trust them as most of them since they have other specialities.

    My sentence was meant to be read as your current one does not seem to be that good. Yet you fastened on a less likely alternative and latched on to it with certainty as if it were an absolute truth.

    And there is the issue, 'certainty'. The reason I mentioned common law is that common law is flexible and evolves. There seem to be a number of people saying that this all means that the government has given up. Do not be certain about that. I am suspicious, paranoid if you would and consider it sensible to be so. Time will show the truth or falsity of this. Nothing else.

    You are quite welcome to the last word.

    Commercial or not it is a legally proscribed act from which you obtain a benefit, I also point out that the UK law is based on common law not constitutional law. If you disagree with me then ask another lawyer. Relying on that reasoning when caught will not work.

    I followed the link you gave me and I am not sure that I agree. Anyone using a female pseudonym for over five years is going to wind up a little gender bent even if they did not start out that way. If it acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and is treated as a duck then it becomes a duck. Neuroplasticity and all that. But even greater than the number of gender bent is the number of gender confused. Transition is not the objective of all tg people. That would be far from the truth. I think I would like to stand by what I said, i.e.. that by all means maintain and continue your arguments with this person but I would recommend not chastising someone for gender issues or expressed gender issues. No one wants to be tg. Nobody would choose it.

    When you use a torrent you are also sending data blocks. So even if you leach you are still "supplying" while you are downloading. This make the situation civilly more precarious and becomes criminal too.

    Gender is not binary. There are, I believe, quite a large number of transgender, transexual and gender fluid people in the slashdot community. I do not know about the person you are arguing with but I suspect they should and are losing their arguments. However if you attack them on the basis of expressed gender then you are going to alienate a lot of transgender people if your attitude to them is that they are prima facie liars. I would think it best to drop the gender issue.

    I will not argue with you. I am not a US citizen. I thank you for your considered reply. This observation often results in heavy Down rating and accusations of trolling or anti Americanism.

    However, I can not reference but I believe that there are agreements in place that would cover this area. That is my belief although I could be wrong. Trouble is that US law has become self contradictory in many areas. Who knows what overrides what nowadays. US law has become whim and whimsy.

    Errr... That turns out to be contrary to fact. A part of the constitution requires that international treaties and such become part of US law. So for most countries the US cannot request or require a breach of law. The exceptions would be places like North Korea where the US has no presence/agreements.
