  Re: Re: Re: Day 3

  No the lawyer will only live 76yrs the remaining 2663.72yrs he spends waiting to go to trial due to the court system being backed up from intellectual properties cases.
  
  The good thing there is that God wins all intellectual properties cases since he/she/it is all knowing so God must have thought of it first.

  Re:

  "Mike, is "more people waking up" a larger or smaller number than a "chorus"?"
  
  Well one is an action so no number there as for being larger or smaller than a "chorus" we would need to know how many people are in the chorus and/or the space they take up.

  Re: You can't have your cake and eat it too

  "Imagine if there was a pharmacist or a doctor or just a friend who was telling people how to order drugs from overseas. That person would be aiding and abetting law breaking. Why is it any different if a server does it? Why isn't the programmer guilty of whatever instructions are given to the server?"
  
  Lets take this a little further.
  Why isn't the end users ISP guilty?
  Why isn't the DNS guilty?
  Why isn't the backbone guilty?
  Why isn't the pharmacy guilty?
  Why isn't the delivery service guilty?
  Why isn't the ordering person guilty?
  Why isn't the service that changed the US currency to Canadian guilty?

  $$$

  "the album actually did leak (via a hacker) who tried to sell it, but the asking price was too high."
  
  The asking price was to high what did he not offer to pay someone to take it off his hands.

• On the post: ICE Arrests Another Person For Allowing Access To Streams From Elsewhere

  Re: Re: Re: Why focus on how "little" money he got?

  "Infringement is selling the copyrighted works of others. That's alleged. All available info supports that, but of course we await trial. -- As for admissions, why did he take the (streams or) links down? ANY statement IS an admission (in a court case). Doesn't look good."
  
  I did not know that he was SELLING the links to visitors. As for taking the links down as requested in a DMCA takedown notice it is required, so if it is an admission of guilt then it is a bit of a catch 22.

  Re: Re: Re: Why focus on how "little" money he got?

  What he found offensive I believe is what he finds as ignorance. Why I specify that it is him who feels this way is because I have yet to be offended by something in my life.
  
  I agree about needing an extra button maybe a "???" would work.

  It was a Brazillian company in Brazil they can order them to shut down the service from Brazil. If they cannot provide the service from Brazil they will have to move or could face sanctions from the countries court system for ignoring a direct court order.

• On the post: Can You Beat Patent Trolls By Using The Same Techniques That Make Them So Successful?

  

  Sean T Henry ( profile ), 11 Aug, 2011 @ 08:20am

  Re: Judgment Proof

  If they lose and avoid payment next time the same patent comes up try to have the discovery process go further back to the holders. Use the evidence that went against the patent previously to get the money due. An alternative if that is not allowed after the first non-payment when a second judgment against it ask for damages and have a court ordered lean placed against the patent or for the patent be transferred over to the winning party as the initial payment.
