  Re:

  That's exactly what I was wondering. We need anti-slap laws yesterday. The problem is, that takes away the trump card from the people that foreclosed on this nation.

  "Can TD show any evidence of loss of revenue based on how FOX handled it? "
  
  So, I'm not sure if you're thick enough to buy negative proof arguments your self or if you're just trying to win a debate here, but... Typically when someone asks you to prove that something doesn't exist, they have no foundation to their argument whatsoever. So, let me ask you, can you prove that the tooth fairy dos't exist?
  
  So, you're probably going to come back with "he made the assertion, the burden of proof is on him" just guessing...

  From: Russia ~ with love

  Ok, so I need to know why the video was so problematic. I mean, the idea that all Russians are now banned from seeing anything on youtube is preposterous. Besides, Russians are master hackers by the time the leave kindergarten?

  Re: OR just not file stupid patent lawsuits

  They're purpose is to impede innovation, in such a way as to ensure that the Microsofts, Dells, Apples etc. of the world wont be usurped by some brilliant disruptive technology. They promise share holders a stake in the entire industry and are really, little more than a thinly veiled insurance policy.

  Funny when you consider how much GE spends on lobbying for DRM...

  well, technically ... The DMCA claim was valid? I mean, he was re-publishing copyrighted material? Am I missing something?

  See, this is how you know you have ADD :) The first thing that happened when the gorilla entered the screen. I stopped counting and looked at the ape. That... clearly has some evolutionary advantage. But not so much in this day and age :(

  Re: There is **NO** independent invention

  Listen, RJR
  
  I know you blindly defend every patent, no matter how obvious or broad. That's in part because you make a living convincing people that have ideas, that those ideas are "inventions". So let's not beat this same old drum via your copy/paste skills while hiding behind anonymity.
  
  You think that every idea is a valid invention and the inverter is the always the victim. You have no integrity, nor capacity for independent thought. We get it already, while we're lobbying for fair and equitable business law, you try to undermine our efforts so you can feed yourself. Guess what Ronny, We're starting to gain momentum, and were not going anywhere. So, I would start polishing my act if I were you. Those lame cookie cutter talking points are starting to drown in a see facts.

  Power Spiral

  "that intellectual property will be in China by the end of the month."
  
  BWAHAHAHA, as if China would have any laws preventing the acquisition of that data in the first place. Remember, they don't have IP lawyers lording over every single industry.
  
  What a mess the Clinton administration made of the whole global initiative to replace property with ideas. It's a shameful mistake that should have been reversed years ago. The problem is, when you give powerful entities more power, they don't give it back without a fight. So now we have little recourse.

  System.exit(2);

  What if you use SafeMail.com, or SecureMail.com ... I think you have a pretty strong expectation of privacy which is intrinsic to the name of the service.. Frankly, Email is 20+ years old, give me a break. If the judge feels that email is a mater of public information, perhaps he should declare that, hacking email accounts is impossible and therefore legal. If you have an option to NOT have a password, and choose to, well, then you have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
  
  Yeah this one pisses me off.

  Re: title misleading

  No, clearly in the claims starting at 22 they are describing the multiple components as being a client and server, as in your browser and the host server. Additionally they claim a database as being a separate host and thats every web hosting setup on the planet. They describe using a template in the first claims, granted... but thats widely misinterpreted and obvious in general.

  Re: New rule

  I think they have (for the most part) addressed these types of patents going forward. However there are over 100k bogus patents mucking up the system. Patents like this were rubber stamped during the "idea economy". A time when every front page headline billowed with newly minted 19 year old kajillionaires with half of an idea (but on the INTERNET!).
  
  Aaaaand now were left with the bloated corpse of the intellectual pigs.

  The video seems to have (uhem) survived. It's actually multiplied 20 fold.
  
  Great Job Ass Hats. As usual, you look like jackasses who never seem to get it. Rather than embracing the opertunity to get a little positive press, you just decide to come off as the gestapo... AGAIN. Who's running your business into the ground? Oh yeah "pirates", I forgot.

  Having DRM is your right, bribing government officials to persecute citizens is a crime. See how that works?
