Then the DoJ sends me an NSA order to hand over all my data, which, as part of my business model, I'm obligated to my end-users to keep private. Then they gag me from actually saying that I turned all that data over. Ergo:
~ If I obey the order, I betray my client base.
~ If I refuse the order, I am in contempt of justice.

Yeah, the NSA really fucked over our tech community since we just cannot trust service in US jurisdiction ever again to keep our data private.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130617/11500923509/its-come-to-this-commentators-arguing-that-press-commits-crime-exposing-nsa-surveillance.shtml#c618 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:59:05 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130617/11500923509/its-come-to-this-commentators-arguing-that-press-commits-crime-exposing-nsa-surveillance.shtml#c618 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130616/20142123500/games-war-designer-cliff-bleszinski-used-games-must-be-killed-order-unsustainable-aaa-development-to-live.shtml#c1650 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:54:09 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130616/20142123500/games-war-designer-cliff-bleszinski-used-games-must-be-killed-order-unsustainable-aaa-development-to-live.shtml#c1650 I'm also against DRM when it's purpose is to try and prevent copying and/or piracy (Something that can't be done).

Huh? Stop and frisk is above board? Wasn't it just a big racist thing where they would find pot? Didn't it find guns at a lower rate than regular police work?

Was there a typo in that sentence?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130616/20142123500/games-war-designer-cliff-bleszinski-used-games-must-be-killed-order-unsustainable-aaa-development-to-live.shtml#c1631 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:29:34 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130616/20142123500/games-war-designer-cliff-bleszinski-used-games-must-be-killed-order-unsustainable-aaa-development-to-live.shtml#c1631 I guess the point I'm trying to make is if we saw fairer pricing along with the elimination of the used games market (Steam-style) would people still feel as strongly?

You can bet that Mike will be working extra hard to censor it.

I am going to keep posting this every time you roll out your bullshit lies.

Also, you have proven you deserve to be censored. If Mike found a way to block you off the entire site, many here would not shed a tear OR feel that is was in any way wrong for him to do so, simply because you only come here to be a disruption and are an attention whore.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130617/11500923509/its-come-to-this-commentators-arguing-that-press-commits-crime-exposing-nsa-surveillance.shtml#c601 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:22:15 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130617/11500923509/its-come-to-this-commentators-arguing-that-press-commits-crime-exposing-nsa-surveillance.shtml#c601
