The graph didn't just bottom out, it declined in steps. At one point it even steps up a little bit as (presumably) traffic is rerouted from one "failing" connection, to another.
I'm not saying the "One Big Kill Switch" theory isn't true, just that it doesn't appear to match the facts.
This is an interesting psychological twist on an abuse victim. Children being abused growing up, often (NOT ALWAYS) go on to either be anti-abuse activists, or they go on to abuse their own children.
In this simile, the guy was abused, so now feels the need to go about abusing others?
Doesn't Omega's argument nullify their standing to begin with? Omega is arguing that "first sale doctrine doesn't apply since the watches weren't manufactured under US Copyright Law." If that is so, than other parts of US Copyright Law don't apply either.
To put it another way, if part of the US Copyright Law doesn't apply, then wouldn't all parts of the US Copyright Law not apply? Thus, there's nothing stopping someone from manufacturing an exact duplicate.

After all, you can't pick and choose what parts of a law you want to follow. Either it applies, or it doesn't.
We ran into a problem with Sprint wireless redirecting all DNS traffic to their servers. So instead of blocking it, their servers were/are masquerading as the server you're trying to reach, and responding as such.
We figured this out when we were trying to setup dynamic DNS. Any updates going to the server (over port 53) were never making it to the server, yet the client was establishing a connection, to what ended up being the Sprint servers.
