The idea that an industry is growing rapidly and that they need to change their laws to help that growth are at odds with each other. Obviously if there is rapid growth, the laws are working just fine.

I guess US Chamber's idea is that their growth would be even bigger. Considering it has long been the biggest film market in the world, whatever it's doing, it's doing it right and we should be changing our laws to match their norms.

Of course, we would never let other countries set the example for us.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/07515923527/leaseweb-deletes-megauploads-servers-without-warning-destroying-key-evidence.shtml#c575 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:57:08 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/07515923527/leaseweb-deletes-megauploads-servers-without-warning-destroying-key-evidence.shtml#c575 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c1050 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:55:36 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c1050
"Multiple? No just one."

Yes, multiple. I'd suggest you try reading the actual comments, but we already know you dont bother with basic reading or facts.

"And if he gets paid $1 per article or a similar pittance, that is no different than unpaid IMHO."

Then don't open your fucking piehole to critisize and attack those who are actually DOING what you are incapable of. You objected, were proved wrong, and now you are trying to rewrite your claims.

It's multiple.

"And if he gets paid $1 per article or a similar pittance, that is no different than unpaid IMHO."

The amount is far more substantial than that by an order of magnitude.

In order to do their job efficiently, they need access to things and be able to respond to say, Gen Keith Alexander who's precious PRISM documents are not where he left them last.

Who they gonna call?

Ghost Busters? b.. please!

You don't score a 67k avg a year job for no reason ( http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Network-Administrator-l-United-States.html ). It's an important job that seems to be missunderstood.

Admittedly, this position is prone to a certain code (ethics) which needs to be there or simply let the industry spy your own turf.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/07515923527/leaseweb-deletes-megauploads-servers-without-warning-destroying-key-evidence.shtml#c538 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:44:31 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/07515923527/leaseweb-deletes-megauploads-servers-without-warning-destroying-key-evidence.shtml#c538 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130617/17584023513/new-orleans-cops-set-up-private-company-to-fill-pockets-with-red-light-camera-cash.shtml#c39 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:43:35 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130617/17584023513/new-orleans-cops-set-up-private-company-to-fill-pockets-with-red-light-camera-cash.shtml#c39 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130614/11384823471/how-overclassification-makes-secrets-less-likely-to-remain-secret.shtml#c234 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:43:20 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130614/11384823471/how-overclassification-makes-secrets-less-likely-to-remain-secret.shtml#c234 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/07515923527/leaseweb-deletes-megauploads-servers-without-warning-destroying-key-evidence.shtml#c527 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:40:32 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130619/07515923527/leaseweb-deletes-megauploads-servers-without-warning-destroying-key-evidence.shtml#c527
