There are other ways too, that don't involve the IP address or could be used with the IP address, so you can block just one individual from one IP address once he is flagged assuming he keeps using the same CID..

This of course would just make him more sad

There are ways to track people anonymously they are not very robust but there are ways, besides AJ is tech illiterate so he will fall for it and will not understand how is that people are tracking him.]]> Re: AC and rdd.me http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130618/14341223521/google-without-admitting-it-gets-fisa-orders-files-lawsuit-to-challenge-fisa-gag-orders.shtml#c233 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:35:35 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130618/14341223521/google-without-admitting-it-gets-fisa-orders-files-lawsuit-to-challenge-fisa-gag-orders.shtml#c233

No, bud.]]> Mike and Tolles against AG investigating Google for antitrust. http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130618/11332223519/states-attorneys-general-want-to-special-exception-to-blame-sites-actions-users.shtml#c167 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:32:21 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130618/11332223519/states-attorneys-general-want-to-special-exception-to-blame-sites-actions-users.shtml#c167 "investigating" Google for antitrust violations" -- NOTHING CAME OF IT, evidently (or Mike would run it endlessly), but these two pro-Googlers are against the very investigation, and pooh-pooh any basis for it because Google's targets were too small.

Tolles dropped something he calls the "priority review program", which sounds like paid shilling. But he doesn't admit anything could be wrong with it. And Mike as usual claims it didn't gain much money. -- That's one of Mike's standard defenses: unless you're really raking it in (much more than millionaire Kim Dotcom, manifestly), then obviously all is perfectly legal.

Anyhoo, when more than one AG comes after you, it's just possible that you're engaged in fairly obvious fiddling. So I don't at all believe Mike and his pal Tolles there.

Nor here. Mike has the view that statute is a shield, that it legalizes what's against common law, where I see statute as ALWAYS suspect, an instrument made by criminals for criminals, and usually against the public good. Mike doesn't do common law or morality: he's railing here against "moral panics", one of his standard phrases.

And Mike is always looking for ways that obvious criminality can be shielded or excused. Thus, his position that "safe harbor" protects file hosts with obvious infringed content on their site, and from which they gain money.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130618/10230323518/nsa-claims-surveillance-programs-aided-stopping-50-attacks-details-lacking.shtml#c802 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:31:14 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130618/10230323518/nsa-claims-surveillance-programs-aided-stopping-50-attacks-details-lacking.shtml#c802 Typo in headline http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130618/11332223519/states-attorneys-general-want-to-special-exception-to-blame-sites-actions-users.shtml#c166 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:31:12 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130618/11332223519/states-attorneys-general-want-to-special-exception-to-blame-sites-actions-users.shtml#c166 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130618/14341223521/google-without-admitting-it-gets-fisa-orders-files-lawsuit-to-challenge-fisa-gag-orders.shtml#c211 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:30:13 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130618/14341223521/google-without-admitting-it-gets-fisa-orders-files-lawsuit-to-challenge-fisa-gag-orders.shtml#c211 Of course, that might lead some to suggest that Google can't actually have standing, but there's an interesting legal argument here. Basically, Google is arguing that the perception that it's opened up its network to the NSA, as suggested in various reports, and which it cannot refute fully without revealing some details of FISA orders it has received, has caused it harm"

Actually, its posible that by confirming they receive FISA requests (and specifically FISA requests) they would actually violate the gag order and therefore be sanctioned without the merits of the case ever being debated.]]> Re: Re: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130618/14341223521/google-without-admitting-it-gets-fisa-orders-files-lawsuit-to-challenge-fisa-gag-orders.shtml#c187 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:27:34 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130618/14341223521/google-without-admitting-it-gets-fisa-orders-files-lawsuit-to-challenge-fisa-gag-orders.shtml#c187 He's acting like a child throwing a temper tantrum.]]> An Idea Obviously NOT Thought Through http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130618/11332223519/states-attorneys-general-want-to-special-exception-to-blame-sites-actions-users.shtml#c163 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:26:08 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130618/11332223519/states-attorneys-general-want-to-special-exception-to-blame-sites-actions-users.shtml#c163 http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130618/11332223519/states-attorneys-general-want-to-special-exception-to-blame-sites-actions-users.shtml#c131 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:24:35 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20130618/11332223519/states-attorneys-general-want-to-special-exception-to-blame-sites-actions-users.shtml#c131

With a young population where over half a billion people are under 25 years old, Bollywood as well as Hollywood are experiencing growth that may be far outpacing the Indian economy.
