The internet connection to the place I used to live in did have a properly sized internet connection from day one:
none.
Yep. no internet connection. Built in 1930.
The internet connection to my apartment complex was properly sized when the complex was constructed.
1970. Copper wire phone lines. They were suitable up to about 1995 too, covering 19.2k modems.
Think about how much your data consumption has increased in even the last 10 years. Comparing water usage to broadband usage is not apropos. Compare your broadband usage to the 1930's electrification projects instead.

A different article on this story (think it was techdirt) describes the situation:
If a party basically offers to settle for terms that match what it would likely get in a final court ruling, and the other party doesn't accept, courts tend to look very negatively on that situation.
That is "you won, what the heck are you still doing in my courtroom?"

FTFY... When some goon with a gun (even if it is a gun shaped like a law) points it at you and says "hand over the goods", you've only got two choices: obey or not. Your prospects for an immediate future are severely limited with one of those choices.
Once the speed limit was set at 55, most cars being produced for the American market were geared for 55 being the typical cruising speed, and higher gears were stripped out, perhaps for weight reduction, perhaps for cost reduction.
Either way, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: gear a car to drive optimally at speed X, and it will do so.
Note that you can get cheap back-pats pointing out "this car's mileage starts dropping off at (speed X) instead of (speed Y)", where a better picture comes from comparing mileage for both vehicles over the range of speeds.
By that definition, they could identify a phone number of interest, then target every non-american who contacts that phone number, and "incidentally" collect every call involving that phone number... and never have 'targetted' the number itself.
If you're HERF gun is extremely directional, you're golden.
If not, you've got two options... 1) you fire it, and suddenly BOTH of you are coasting to a stop (or crash) 2) you get your buddies to fire it from the roadside, in which case the police coast to a stop right near your buddies.
Of course, a remote control could cover for your buddies, especially if there's a camera or spotter set up.
(Yeah, we've seen remote control munitions for HOW LONG now?)
There are minimum legal vehicle standards. And behavior standards. Your reasons do not well distinguish between falling within and without of them; your gripes are analog.
By the same logic, you would be offended because... - I drive a lighter vehicle, being more at risk of injury. - I drive a vehicle with poorer handling, increasing the likelihood of an accident, or reducing my ability to dodge an accident. - I drive a vehicle more prone to mechanical failures (older, less reliable, other), increasing the likelihood of closing the road. - I have some other medical condition that causes problems and/or expense when I'm to be pulled from a vehicle. Say, hemophilia, obesity, or age.
Each of the costs you have described apply as well to one more of the scenarios above. And yet, the vehicle and driver may well fall within acceptable standards for driving (and being driven).
As for your health care premium worries, the insurance companies do account for seat belt use (or lack of it). I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
Hate to say it, but composting 3d printed materials is every bit as likely as biodegrading biodegradable plastic bags. Not every home (or apartment complex) has a composing unit, nor a use for the final product.
This leaves two options: ship the 3d printed refuse where it can be used, or throw it in the general trash cycle. Until it becomes ubiquitous, it won't get shipped commercially (IE with "recyclable" items.
If you can't get folks to "properly dispose" of batteries or fluorescent bulbs or electronics, you won't get folks to compost 3d printed refuse.

1) the law as written and applied would apply to smart phones, and possibly also to your GPS. You likely wouldn't be pulled over for it unless the cop got a good look at your dash as you go by, but even so. "... video monitor..."
Yeah, it's already a stretch to apply a law clearly aimed at "TVs for the driver" to google glass, let alone a GPS monitor. But the cop in question went there, so...
2) if your GPS is only changing speed indication as you pass the sign, you might well be too late changing speed, if you've a cop with a quota behind you. IE "the new speed limit starts at the sign." I've been pulled over for speeding after just passing a sign while slowing down for the new speed limit. It happens, some times.

Vehicle tests confirmed that one particular dead task would result in loss of throttle control, and that the driver might have to fully remove their foot from the brake during an unintended acceleration event before being able to end the unwanted acceleration.
- say, from working from home and using his own computer to do so -
it would be impossible to distinguish between having deleted them to hide them from the court, and having deleted them due to termination of employment, IP rights, and professional standards.

If he ever had a copy of the code on his computer
- say, from working from home and using his own computer to do so -
it would be impossible to distinguish between having deleted them to hide them from the court, and having deleted them due to termination of employment, IP rights, and professional standards.
Economic damages are seldom considered "irreparable harm". Harm, yes. Irreparable, no.
And you (and the court) appear to be positing two logically incompatible scenarios:
1) publishing the code (open or not) as his own product
2) hiding the fact that he published it.
These are mutually incompatible goals.
