1. NRA rep says "We have decided that the Government should legislate as we really don't need to have 30 bullets in one clip when we are hunting deer".

2. NRA rep says "what? Bullets don't kill people, look I have 30 bullets in this clip and no one is dead, it is people that kill people".]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121228/04121521505/mtps-david-gregory-does-journalism-some-citizens-want-his-arrest.shtml#c63 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 16:09:35 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121228/04121521505/mtps-david-gregory-does-journalism-some-citizens-want-his-arrest.shtml#c63

"knowingly linking to infringing content"... Can you please post a link to a film available to download directly from the Pirate Bay's servers.

Oh you can't because there exists no actual infringing content on the Pirate Bay, merely little lines of numbers and letters.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121206/16014421285/buy-your-kindle-waterstones-youre-now-locked-into-one-screensaver-waterstones-logo.shtml#c138 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 06:30:35 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121206/16014421285/buy-your-kindle-waterstones-youre-now-locked-into-one-screensaver-waterstones-logo.shtml#c138

The US Government believes only it's laws apply to the Internet, see Rojadirecta and SurfTheChannel lawsuits. Why would a US company who sees what it's Government does not then assume that as it has no liability in the US it doesn't have liability in another country? There is no such thing as Youtube.IT, only Youtube.COM.

Italian law doesn't cover .COMs in the eyes of the US Government.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121212/14335021367/italian-prosecutor-still-wants-to-put-google-execs-jail-because-video-uploaded-some-kids.shtml#c349 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:51:20 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121212/14335021367/italian-prosecutor-still-wants-to-put-google-execs-jail-because-video-uploaded-some-kids.shtml#c349
