Actually most of the patent and copyright "hating" that goes on here stems from very real-world experience with laws that were are either of date and don't reflect the current situation, or were written with by special interest groups with little care for things outside their own little world.

The fact that the phone was forcefully taken and no footage released from it should presume guilt. I don't want a forensic circus telling me that nothing happened. I want murder convictions. and I want huge penalties for the wrongful confiscation of evidence. I want it to be assumed that evidence proving their guilt was destroyed since no evidence proving their innocence was provided. The cops failed to provide it, they failed to bring their own cameras and they failed to provide the evidence from the confiscated camera of their innocence and the footage that did leak didn't absolve them of guilt, it proved their guilt (the earlier is important, the later is not since their guilt should be presumed unless proven otherwise). I want convictions.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/14172323158/judge-not-impressed-prenda-alan-cooper-lawsuit.shtml#c554 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:41:53 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/14172323158/judge-not-impressed-prenda-alan-cooper-lawsuit.shtml#c554 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/14172323158/judge-not-impressed-prenda-alan-cooper-lawsuit.shtml#c540 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:35:34 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/14172323158/judge-not-impressed-prenda-alan-cooper-lawsuit.shtml#c540 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110311/01552013459/dailydirt-weapons-sky.shtml#c54 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:32:59 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110311/01552013459/dailydirt-weapons-sky.shtml#c54 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/19190923142/if-youre-going-to-illegally-seize-citizens-cell-phones-least-make-sure-youre-grabbing-right-ones.shtml#c1067 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:24:35 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130519/19190923142/if-youre-going-to-illegally-seize-citizens-cell-phones-least-make-sure-youre-grabbing-right-ones.shtml#c1067

This evidence certainly doesn't absolve their guilt. No, it proves it. But even without this camera, there should be enough evidence otherwise to assume their guilt. The cameras being confiscated should result in even far more punishment than what they would otherwise receive even in the absence of the evidence that did leak out. That alone is intolerable.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130515/00554723091/more-details-emerge-key-legal-fight-over-dmca-abuse.shtml#c250 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:23:55 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130515/00554723091/more-details-emerge-key-legal-fight-over-dmca-abuse.shtml#c250 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/15164823159/bad-day-prenda-continues-judge-rejects-stay-adds-1k-per-day-each-day-they-dont-pay-up.shtml#c466 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:20:11 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130521/15164823159/bad-day-prenda-continues-judge-rejects-stay-adds-1k-per-day-each-day-they-dont-pay-up.shtml#c466
