  Re: I'd sue.

  What I was thinking (minus the F bomb).
  
  Edmund Burke said "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing".

  Spot on Nicedoggy. Gov't has become obsessed with data mining. It's like a disease. It's out of control. Why they even "mine" our physical bodies now (TSA).

  Re: Lulz

  You can't blame LulzSec for the actions of the over reaching FBI. Stop being ridiculous.

  Re: Your full of it

  OMG look at this one ... not past the "blame Bush" rant yet.
  And all that name calling ... tsk tsk. Pray tell, why should you be taken seriously?
  
  Just can't see that old forest through them old trees. Pity.

  "...you also insist that the people pointing this out to you have to provide the solution for you."
  
  Great point. Everyone ELSE should do the work FOR them - and PAY them.
  
  What an industry. Me thinks we need a whole new "entertainment industry". This one is corrupted, broken, out of touch, inhumane, lazy and becoming utterly useless. All they're good for now is causing trouble (they've nothing better to do?).

  They don't. They subsidize YOUR use.

  Re:

  "Do they realize that I am likely to respond to such draconian measures by entirely stopping all content purchases? Did they consider that, in retribution, I might cut off cable TV and just stop buying content altogether?"
  
  That's what I've done - stopped buying. Next will be my cable (would do it now but I stupidly signed a 2-year agreement so as not to keep raising the price. I was SUCKERED, I know...).

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Did you ever see an item you REALLY liked, but it belonged to someone else so you went out and bought one just like it because you liked it that much?
  
  Same thing happens with DVDs, CDs etc. My brother is a HUGE movie fan and would never settle for anything less than a sealed, packaged DVD. A copy would be cheap and tawdry by his estimation. He wouldn't even consider it. I asked him.
  
  Say I let my friend use my drill. Then he lets his friend use it and so on through a dozen or so people. Did all those people "Steal" a drill? Of course not.
  
  I wish some people would learn to think before they speak.

  Re: Okay, So why again should I have to pay?

  Bravo. That's what infuriates me as well - that our tax dollars are going toward this nonsense. They can use their own private funds all they want - that's their right, but I sure as shootin' don't want my money going toward this BS game wreaking havoc nationwide, either.

  Re: Stop Resisting!

  At the very least he could have been polite. He was a bully and a brute and creepy cop.
  
  And she helps pay his salary. They seem to forget that fact.
  
  To so many creepy cops people are no longer human, just subjects to be abused and misused. It's a shame, really.

  Just like they don't have a problem using their own cameras in their vehicles to record "perps". Course, those they can pick and choose when to use - or delete if it suits their motives...

  What are you talking about? I've only been hanging around here a few months and I've seen plenty ideas and examples posted - by Mr. Masnick. Hello.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: haters gonna hate

  IDK but it seems to me the BS is coming from you, AC.
  
  It takes a special kind of ignorance to be unable to understand the larger "picture" here regarding copyright issues and instead, cling to silly, nonsensical name calling such as "freetard".

  Re: Re:

  Well said!
  
  As far as the info they're sharing - do I sense some are implying "3rd party responsibility" against Lulz here?
  
  Because just putting it out there to show security breaches does not give anyone the RIGHT to use it for any means whatsoever and a law abiding citizen knows this.
  
  Anyone who does misuse the info should, of course, be held accountable for THEIR misdeeds.
  
  Just for the record and the "love-to-spew-hate" perps, I do understand the shock and horror anyone feels at finding out their passwords have been exposed. I would feel the same way - but would be upset with the entity who allowed it to happen, not Lulz.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Here's a proposal...
  
  For the next few months we embark upon a massive campaign to get just $1.00 from those of us who agree with the stand of Mr. Masnick. When we reach $500,000 we "lobby" these gov't entities ourselves and see what happens.
  
  What do you suppose they would do?
  
  Bet with the right effort that $500,000 could be reached, too. Just $1.00? I'd be in - in a heartbeat for 10 times that as I imagine many others would, as well.
  
  Just every day little guy citizen's - no organizations. Because the way it's supposed to be, is government remains OUR servants - not our masters.

  Re: Re: Re: calling the cops is not "lobbying"

  "They're "lobbying" for copyright law to be enforced, because their product is being ripped off and they are entitled to protection."
  
  Hm. Many, MANY years ago I purchased a little vinyl 45 record I was gaga over called "I Think I Love You" by David Cassidy.
  
  I played it so much I wore it out and had to purchase another one.
  
  Then an album came out with the song on it I 'just had to have' so I purchased that.
  
  Then I purchased it on a cassette.
  
  Then I purchased it on an 8 track.
  
  Then I purchased it on a CD.
  
  Now I finally have an mp3 of it so I can FINALLY stop PURCHASING THE SAME DAMN SONG by the SAME DAMN ARTIST.
  
  WHO IS GETTING/HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF? Rumble on TechDirt...

  Re: Re: Re: calling the cops is not "lobbying"

  Sounds like $400,000 in outright bribery, IMHO.
