I knew back when the DMCA was passed in '98 that it was a BAD law, and time has just proven that true. All benefits to the copyright holders and no consequences for takedown notices for stuff they don't actually hold copyright on.
And every year it seems it just keeps getting better and better.
I actually agree with him on some issues (Obamacare and immigration to name a couple) but he's really screwing the pooch on this one. The ISP's have demonstrated that they will f**k with the internet to no end if it means more $$$ for them, and they need to be reined in or the internet as we've come to know it will cease to exist.
Really really disappointed.

I sincerely hope this woman gets a sizeable legal settlement, not just from the CHP but also from the pig involved and his superiors as well. I also hope the pig and his bosses are fired and their pensions are given to this woman.
Until these thugs are held personally responsible this bullshit will never end.
Really, HP? Wow. When did that happen?
And to this day I have never bought, nor will I ever buy, a Lexmark printer. HP, Xerox, anybody except Lexmark.
I think what you meant to say was "the terrorists' dog ate my hard drive."
Jesus what axe do you have to grind against Texas?
Your user name is appropriate: a big pain in the ass.
That was at least 5 different flavors of awesome with awesomesauce on top!
My thoughts exactly.

Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for all of them!
Trouble is, the US govt has not yet learned that especially after the Snowden leaks, they can not get away with hypocrisy as a foreign policy any more. Their credibility is completely shot at this point.
Armed revolution. It's beginning to look like nothing less will be sufficient to deal with the abject corruption of our government today.
Taking Mickey Mouse bullshit to a whole new level.
