  on Judge Shrugs At 1st Amendment, Orders News Site To Take Down Info It Got From A Publicly-Available Court Filing [UPDATED]

  As long as people continue to bend to unjust (not to mention unconstitutional and illegal) government decisions, they will continue to get worse. Shame on anyone who doesn't ignore bullshit "requirements". They're the reason things are as bad as they are and getting worse.

  "The argument, moreover, that the physical presence rule is clear and easy to apply is unsound. Attempts to apply the physical presence rule to online retail sales are proving unworkable. States are already confronting the complexities of defining physical presence in the Cyber Age."
  
  So let's implement a rule with all those problems only moreso.
