• On the post: Dianne Feinstein: NSA Would Never Abuse Its Powers Because It's 'Professional'

  Doctors are considered professional too. I take it this means we no longer have to investigate medicare fraud.

• On the post: Weather Channel To DirecTV: Meet Our Cost Demands Or EVERYONE WILL DIE!

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 14 Jan, 2014 @ 01:49pm

  Who needs the weather channel on Direct TV to warn of dangerous weather. I have had Direct and Dish, and I've never experienced dangerous weather that did not completely kill the signal I was receiving, rendering it impossible to watch the weather channel. Perhaps their argument may work for land based television providers, but I don't see it holding much over my head as far as satellite.

• On the post: Board Game Manufacturer Attempts To Take Down App Over The Use Of The Words 'Would You Rather'

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 03 Jan, 2014 @ 06:11am

  Wait. One of their suggestions, "do you wanna", contains one of the restricted words, "You". Even they can't suggest titles for the game that don't violate their trademark based on their reading.

  Good job. We'd hate for there to be something out in the public consciousness that might make people want to watch our show. Send out the lawyers, make it so the show appears to never have existed.

  Re:

  Arrested? Nah, he'll probably just go on a permanent vacation with no expected return date.

• On the post: Online Retailer Says If You Give It A Negative Review It Can Fine You $3,500

  Well, I can honestly state I will never complain negatively about their service.
  
  Of course, I also won't be buying anything from them ever.
  
  If you treat your customers right, your reputation takes care of itself. That's what I've always believed anyways.

• On the post: Not Funny: NJ Supreme Court Says Judges Can't Do Stand Up

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 20 Sep, 2013 @ 07:25am

  So we have a judge working part time as a judge making $13,000 a year from it and by all accounts seems to be actively disclosing his other job to the mayor and advisory boards, actively trying to prevent conflicts of interest and working another job to support himself while doing the things he enjoys doing.
  
  What's he supposed to do, take kickbacks and become corrupt to make up for the money that being a part time judge doesn't pay?
  
  Then again, maybe the fact he's not is the real issue in this decision.

• On the post: Universal Music Targeting Domain Registrars To Take Down File Sharing Sites Without Due Process

  Re:

  More like:
  
  Officer A: "Sir, we've located the stolen vehicle."
  
  Officer B: "Ok, go to the Shell station and arrest the guy behind the counter for selling the gas that let the thief drive the car away."

• On the post: RIAA Whines To Congress That It Doesn't Like Google's Search Results

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 18 Sep, 2013 @ 10:06am

  I still think Google should try an experiment, and for one day/week whatever, any search for an RIAA or MPAA search term should come up empty, with a note explaining what they are doing. Then see how that affects everyone, torrent and legal alike.

• On the post: Prenda's Mark Lutz Doesn't Show Up In Two Key Cases, Has A Reason But Won't Share Because People Might Discuss It

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 06 Sep, 2013 @ 04:57pm

  I've been curious if the reason he was unable to board the plane is he found out there was a layover somewhere there was a warrant for him.

• On the post: Anti-Piracy Agent Says Full Site Blocking Only Makes His Job Harder

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 10 Jul, 2013 @ 10:09am

  Re: Something Different

  It's like trying to sue a map maker because you can use their map to find directions to a crack house.

  Jessie ( profile ), 10 Jul, 2013 @ 09:56am

  Reminds me of a three year old.
  
  Oooh, a red circle on top of the stove....OWWWWWWW that hurts. Ooooh, a red circle.......OWWWWWW. Oooh, a red circle..
  
  and so on and so forth. Maybe it's time to try something different?

• On the post: Bad Lawyer Tricks, By John Steele

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 09 Jul, 2013 @ 05:07pm

  Re:

  Perhaps this is a good time for people to ask for a subpena to prevent Google from deleting the backups. Maybe Steele should have talked to his forensics firm to remind him that he can't delete those backups as well?

• On the post: Ohio AG Gets Urban Outfitters To Pull Satirical Prescription Coffee Mugs From Stores, Citing His Own Lack Of Humor

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 02 Jul, 2013 @ 10:47am

  The AG's set their sights on their next target:
  
  "An apple a day keeps the Dr away."
  
  This phrase makes light of the millions of uninsured in america.

  Wow. you hit that on the head. You must be psychic.

  We can't stand for it. This is clearly a case of the competent bullying the lesser competent.

• On the post: DHS Says Agent 'Hunches' Trump Citizens' Rights In Searching Your Computer At The Border

  Hunch? Just sounds like a fancy word for profiling to me.

• On the post: Court Says Copying Journal Articles To Show Prior Art In Patent Proceedings Is Fair Use

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 04 Jun, 2013 @ 03:18pm

  Re: How is status quo "clearly good news for fair use"?

  A big win, not really. However had this gone sideways somehow, this could have been a big loss. It is not wrong to celebrate a victory, even an expected victory, when the outcome could have been catastrophic.

• On the post: New Filing Presents Evidence That John Steele Uploaded Videos To BitTorrent Himself

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 03 Jun, 2013 @ 07:08pm

  Hmm

  Guess we know now why they let the Fl Suit go, why swipe at the flys with your hand when you can bring out the fly swatter?

• On the post: FL Schools Go Minority Report On Students, Give Parents Opt Out Choice Afterward

  

  Jessie ( profile ), 03 Jun, 2013 @ 06:37am

  Re: hmm...

  That's because they get more money the more parents buy pictures. They probably get less money the more students are opted out. Just follow the money.
  
  What's sad is that this is a school system and they are more concerned about money than their students.
