It's a type of judicial interpretation of case law that we get the reasonable expectation of privacy.

Also, what the hell kind of judge would find this reasonable? The students were not informed of the remote webcam activation, nor were the parents. Also, what right does a school have to extend it's authority off of school grounds?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100204/0136568042.shtml#c74 Thu, 4 Feb 2010 15:38:12 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100204/0136568042.shtml#c74 actually wins the race. Think about it. A corporation wins the election and cites the Supreme Courts decision as the reason that it should be allowed to take office. The Supreme Court will rush to change their decision.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20091204/1138477208.shtml#c89 Fri, 4 Dec 2009 14:30:47 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20091204/1138477208.shtml#c89 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20091117/0835176963.shtml#c135 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:39:58 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20091117/0835176963.shtml#c135
Do you stop using Google?

No, because it's familiar and well branded. Keeping the algorithm secret now only serves the purpose of protecting you, the consumer.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20091027/0311206690.shtml#c38 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:33:03 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20091027/0311206690.shtml#c38
In a blog post or forum minor errors are permitted and frankly don't bother me. Even I make them. I find however,that I avoid forums and posts that do not use standard sentence structure. *Shrug* Just my two cents, I know you make a post in a hurry but do you really need to shorten all your words and not capitalize?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090817/0109035895.shtml#c280 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:32:38 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090817/0109035895.shtml#c280 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090612/1235555213.shtml#c333 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:26:24 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090612/1235555213.shtml#c333 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090612/1235555213.shtml#c154 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:56:27 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090612/1235555213.shtml#c154
Do you not remember the "internet is a series of tubes" comment? The internet didn't drop off and die as a result.

You want all of patent, copyright, and trademark to be pretty much tossed out, and yet the issues you have revolve around probably 0.000001% of all of it. Why are you do worked up about it?"

In an attempt to beat Mike to the punch, what the hell? What does the internet is a series of tubes comment have to do with anything, other than pointing out that those with no knowledge of a subject have no business legislating on it?

And Mike doesn't want these laws thrown out, he wants them reformed. And the issues that Mike's sites revolve around have almost everything to do with copyright, patent and trademark law.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090529/1910285056.shtml#c351 Mon, 1 Jun 2009 08:14:03 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090529/1910285056.shtml#c351 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090522/0235284973.shtml#c69 Wed, 27 May 2009 13:05:17 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090522/0235284973.shtml#c69
