  One thing...

  One thing though... they are asking the public for proposals. Isn't that at least a step the US should take?

• On the post: Could A Consumer Privacy Bill Of Rights Even Work?

  

  Howard the Duck ( profile ), 23 Feb, 2012 @ 12:58pm

  NO more

  Regulations? Do we need more laws? The privacy bill of rights could in fact create some problems as well. Medical privacy laws force tons of paperwork for even the most minor appointments. If I could merge all my ppo/hmo info into a database to keep a history, I wouldn't have to re-invent the wheel every time I change doctors.

  Re: Re:

  "It ends up as politics by who yells the loudest, rather than by doing what is good for the people as a whole. That isn't very good, is it? It's certainly not very democratic."
  
  Sounds to me like he's against lobbyists, or any special interest group that can be heard above the din, paid or not.

  Re: P O W E R

  The tea party is branded racist radicals, and OWS - a democratic gathering of non-violent protestors. OWS hates the Tea party. Both are cut from the same cloth. When the democrats ran away in Wisconsin to avoid voting bad things on public unions, the republicans were accused of fucking democracy, even though Walker was elected by the people. What is it with the 99%?

• On the post: MPAA: Ripping DVDs Shouldn't Be Allowed Because It Takes Away Our Ability To Charge You Multiple Times For The Same Content

  I am bald

  From pulling my hair out after reading this article. I will now start pirating my movies. This is akin to asking someone to pay for a car every time they drive it down a new road.

  Howard the Duck ( profile ), 03 Feb, 2012 @ 10:25am

  Yes, but no

  The internet drives culture, as the vast majority of culture is shared on the internet.

  You sir, fail at trying to point out that AC failed at pointing out failure. Your reply is flawed, his good analogy makes a mockery of your reply.

  Re: Re:

  I signed an anti-SOPA petition and called two congressmen because of Techdirt. You are sad because he DOES have an effect on copyright. All of us idiots shot down your little PIPA and SOPA, how does it feel? You're the epitome of clueless.
