Isn't that what he did? Isn't that what you are complaining about?

And lawyers engaging in fraud before the court should have to pay the defense's attorney's fees.

And Prenda did get due process. All kinds of due process. They had plenty of opportunity to show that they were not engaging in fraud and to rebut the defense accusations of fraud. But instead of embarrass the defense by showing their actions were legitimate, they engaged in hand waving and silence. The judge and defense rightfully concluded, based on the available evidence, that Prenda and gang are engaged in fraud.

So what's the problem exactly?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/11552823150/major-hollywood-studios-all-sent-bogus-dmca-takedowns-concerning-pirate-bay-documentary.shtml#c796 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:26:36 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/11552823150/major-hollywood-studios-all-sent-bogus-dmca-takedowns-concerning-pirate-bay-documentary.shtml#c796

Or maybe that does not happen.
Maybe every generation is safer and more efficient. Maybe NIMBY attitudes should not be allowed to place reactors on sea-level beaches in tsunami zones.

There will always be people who can't distinguish fantasy from reality (schizophrenics) and there will always be people who like violence (psychopaths).

While they're at it, they can keep pushing AGW denialism, so more extreme weather will harm more people too. I'm just surprised the Big Medicine conspiracy isn't pushing Romneycare so that more people can 'afford' their tender mercies?

7/10 on the troll-meter, someone is actually engaging in discussion on your own level and the subtle way you get that attention is by making wrong assumptions and discrediting on the surface, while being complete nonsense underneath.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c171 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:18:47 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/13573923121/retired-lt-col-violent-media-has-bred-generation-killers.shtml#c171
It's worth remembering that nothing breeds terrorists faster than being instrumental in the deaths of their loved ones.

Between drone strikes and illegal wars the US has alot to answer for. When it ignores it's crimes can anyone really be surprised that it's victims (or their families) want revenge?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130513/10360323060/criminal-nabbed-his-own-food-porn.shtml#c115 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:17:05 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130513/10360323060/criminal-nabbed-his-own-food-porn.shtml#c115 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/15490323152/intellectual-property-mess-holding-up-tpp.shtml#c200 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:15:42 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/15490323152/intellectual-property-mess-holding-up-tpp.shtml#c200 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130516/18383623114/your-word-against-ours-how-fbis-no-electronic-recording-policy-rigs-game-destroys-its-credibility.shtml#c444 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:14:30 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130516/18383623114/your-word-against-ours-how-fbis-no-electronic-recording-policy-rigs-game-destroys-its-credibility.shtml#c444 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/12190223151/prendas-paul-hansmeier-asks-appeals-court-to-delay-sanctions-appeals-court-says-no-try-again.shtml#c346 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:14:15 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/12190223151/prendas-paul-hansmeier-asks-appeals-court-to-delay-sanctions-appeals-court-says-no-try-again.shtml#c346 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/11200723149/war-journalists-doj-claimed-fox-news-reporter-was-aider-abettor-co-conspirator-with-leaker.shtml#c1103 Tue, 21 May 2013 06:14:08 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130520/11200723149/war-journalists-doj-claimed-fox-news-reporter-was-aider-abettor-co-conspirator-with-leaker.shtml#c1103

Oh yeah, they are.

Hell though, if it was really videogame related they'd be piloting remote controlled vehicles all over the middle East and killing people whilst sitting safely in a shed in some backwater piece of some redneck state and complaining about the PTSD they suffer for it.

Oh...]]>
