This ruling surely violates every law and precedent about interstate commerce. How can one be held liable for something legal in one state, but illegal in a different state? With that logic my drivers license would no longer be considered legal in any state except for the state I reside in.
Legit question, is there a reason you search "site:techdirt.com"? When I search "techdirt" on Bing, I at least get a couple hits with 38,700 results (I still get 0 results on anything past page 1). Granted it's not an index of multiple news articles, but it's certainly not returning 0 results.
Would manufacturers voiding a warranty be within the realms of a violation of the Magnuson-Moss warranty act? I fail to see how modifying your electric car to go faster is any different than me modifying my gasoline engine to do the same. Wouldn't manufacturers have the burden of proof that any modification what the direct cause of a malfunction?
Could an elected official be successfully sued for slander since he is on record having called this journalist a hacker multiple times? Or do you think they would claim qualified immunity?
literally every word of what you just said was wrong

Re: Re: DMCA, here we come
That hasn't stopped companies in the past from trying to abuse the copyright system to silence speech.
DMCA, here we come
Who wants to bet that techdirt receives a DMCA notice soon? It would be the icing on this cake.
