  It isn't actually entrapment but it looks like entrapment.
  
  Just get it to the Supreme Court and that should be close enough, yes?

  ...try, try again.
  
  I like this one better:
  
  If at first you don't succeed,
  Keep on suckin' 'til you do suck seed.
  
  Juxtapositions of various members of this debacle are left as an exercise for the student.

  Re: Re: Judge

  Well, it has the word "No" in its name, so it must be bad.

  Re: Re: Re:

  At first after reading this I was worried about trauma to the hypthetical driver, but then I changed my mind. I mean, it's not like he'd be running over a collie or something.

• On the post: If Comcast CEO Brian Roberts Really Believes Netflix Gets Bandwidth For Free, Will He Pay Netflix's Bandwidth Bill?

  He can pay for my bandwidth while he's at it. And the rent on my MODEM.

  Why not just shoot the kid right there in the principle's office as soon as he's brought in, and get it over with as quickly as possible? Why drag out the torture? It's not like they wasted any due process on him anyway.

  We don't care. We don't have to, we're the phone company.

• On the post: DOJ Flips Out That Evidence Gathered Via FISA Orders Might Be Made Available To Defendants

  

  Jeffrey Nonken ( profile ), 04 Apr, 2014 @ 08:22am

  "To compel disclosure on that basis would trivialize FISA?s necessity standard and work a sea change in FISA litigation."
  
  FISA trivializes the sixth amendment. Your move.

• On the post: Mobile Spyware Use In Domestic Violence Ramps Up

  Not much to add, but it bears repeating that this is a typical abuse dynamic and has nothing to do with technology nor the current political situation. It's been that way pretty much forever.
  
  And if less than half are reporting it, it's MORE than half that aren't reporting it, you seem to have stumbled during the rephrasing.

  I think there is a certain logic to claiming damages on the copies that have been taken down, since they're also claiming that those copies need to be erased, and that blocking is insufficient. It's their premises that are flawed.
  
  All of them.

• On the post: Police Utilizing Private Companies, Exploits To Access Data From Suspects' Smartphones

  "...there's no specific protection in place for these contents, which some courts have argued contain no "expectation of privacy" thanks to constant "checkins" with third party providers and services."
  
  The is no expectation of privacy for things I do inside my home with the doors locked, lights off and shades drawn because I do other things in public.
  
  Anything I tell my bank is also public knowledge, including my PIN. Because they're a third-party provider or service.

  We're helping you put the "Violating your" into "trust!"
  
  "If you go out and buy a gun and go shoot someone, no one will go after the gun producer."
  
  Really? I call bullcrap.

  If the posted recordings have been edited, then the works are clearly transformative, and therefore protected under fair use. ;)

• On the post: If You Do A Search Almost No One Does, Google Might Point You To Unauthorized Version Of House Of Cards

  

  Jeffrey Nonken ( profile ), 21 Feb, 2014 @ 06:25pm

  So I recently found a reference that got me interested in a particular film, and noted that when I searched Google for it that film, I got a number of DMCA notices in place of download links.
  
  Using my mouse (and my astonishing Internet P0w0rz) I selected the next search engine in the browser-provided pull-down list and clicked Search. In three mouse clicks and as many seconds I had more download links than I could possibly use.
  
  Forcing Google to filter search results is SO effective because, you know, Google Is The Internet.

• On the post: MPAA Head Chris Dodd: I'm Willing To Discuss Copyright Reform As Long As Nothing Changes

  

  Jeffrey Nonken ( profile ), 12 Feb, 2014 @ 09:15am

  Dodd's halfway point seems to be halfway between where copyright is now and where he wishes it would be.
