    Re:

    They're the police. In the US they can do anything they want unless it receives huge amounts of media presence. The police unions hold to much sway in elections here. Nobody wants to touch the issue and the consequence of this is unjust and unlawful action by an agency that is supposed to regulate that. Free country my buttocks.

    Wow better watch what I say. I could be guilty of a thought crime. No wonder people are reading 1984 in larger numbers then ever before in history since that book was written by George Orwell. Free Speech much be dead if they're seriously trying to arrest/prosecute people making seemingly threatening comments.

    Hilarious, the government getting sued by an outside company for breaching patents and 'breaking the law', gee I wonder when that last happened. That place better get ready for the black helicopters, I hear them a coming. Get ready for FOIA releases with entire pages blacked out and no audio during the trial Lul.

    H/o one sec... I gotta finish lmfao'd, he took notes. Mike man, you aren't supposed to feed the trolls but, that was pretty awesome how you trolled him. Haven't you heard of dftt? Anyway interesting article and sad to see the number of copyright trolls growing in the US because of the inaction of the federal government to put forth any meaningful legislation regarding copyright, trademark, and patent law.

    my two cents,

    Re: Re:

    ah ya, sometimes I lose focus and forget things like that being a millenial. The most influential presidents for my generation as per our opinion would be in this order Clinton, Reagan, Nixon. Nixon might have started it but, the others advanced his politics and policies.

    Do you think my generation will be successful in advancing this and the police militarization issue in future elections when more millenials start to vote?

    Espryon ( profile ), 03 Jun, 2015 @ 01:04pm

    Great article, it is so lulsy the governments mission to avoid accountability even in the so called 'Law'. I've watched documentary after documentary, read article after article, even submitted a few FOIA requests myself in my undergrad. It is a very frustrating part of our government probably as, if not more then the DMV.

    The ignorance of our govt i.e. the US government is astounding. The boomers politics that lead to this war on drugs being declared by Ronald Reagen's and Bill Clinton's politics should just be admitted as a failure already and alternative strategies developed. I feel as a millennial that the government should regulate and distribute these drugs so as to remove the underground economy and criminals from our streets. If these people can still get drugs anyway irregardless of how many doors they kick in or drug dealers they arrest or kill, whats stopping them? In addition police militarization is making our country increasingly unstable as more and more distrust the police/government in our country. Why can't the government admit failure and enable countermeasures? Why can't the US govt regulate and tax these drugs and get rid of the underground markets this way?

    Re: Re: Re: Re:

    ah I apologize, o.k. I was wrong about that. Up until today though I couldn't find the full text of the actual bill. Here is the actual full text of the entire bill that I could find. I think I will print it out and give it a read.

    Re: Re:

    The only reason I said 'supposedly' is because while it is written in law, the govt always has a different interpretation then what is written and it is reliant on all the other courts interpretation below the the Supreme Court. In addition we have seen even when legally these govt agencies i.e. the NSA, CIA, FBI, DEA, etc are required to declassify documents, many are so heavily redacted they are not worth the toner and the paper to print them. The CIA having been required to declassify some documents actually claims to have 'lost' some of the documents. Finally, the way I understand it and the way the media has protrayed it, the only thing this bill gets rid of is the 215 provision for bulk telephone/telephony collection and adds accountability to these formerly secret courts by requiring them to declassify some of the documents processed by this court. As mentioned above the govt has been very lackluster in this department i.e. declassifying documents.

    Hey guys,

    I love your podcast and it gives me an opportunity to listen to other techies talk about tech issues and other such things. I just had a request. Can you guys add your podcast as a torrent? like maybe on ThePirateBay. or Kat.cr or ? I was also wondering if you will dedicate another podcast to talking about the recently passed "USA Freedom Act" that supposedly reforms the patriot act but, anyone who is techologically inclined knows this couldn't be farther from the truth with the exception in the bill of declassifying *some* of the formerly secret fisa courts documents.

    Thanks,
