Low hanging fruit but...
it's almost as if Eduardo is compensating for something...
Isn't this statement an oxymoron?
thought process... we don't need no thoughts
It really makes you wonder about the thought process of the folks who run VG Media.
I don't need to wonder about their process. It is greed... pure and simple.
Re:
How is it more difficult to read the widely used UDP protocol?
I think the simple answer would be when you are squirting bullshit out of both sides of your mouth at once, there is little brainpower left with which to craft an honest answer.
a more accurate acronym
for the F.B.I. would be:
Fumbling Bunch of Idiots

"the commercials scare the shit out of me"
The commercials do warn of anal leakage... so I guess they've CYA'd themselves for that as well.
executive heads
"executives like Marcus are going to have to pull their collective heads of of the sand"
Sand is not where their heads are, it is more like a place where the sun doesn't shine.
Re:
When it happens we must join forces and provide very deep pockets to the company that finds itself in the receiving end of the lawsuit.
The DOJ acting the part of the bully we all know them to be, will certainly wait for an easier target to go after.
If the DOJ thought they had a real case against Apple that they believed could be won, then they should take on Apple and let the case be settled on it's merits, and not on who they can steamroll.
When the time comes for a smaller company to stand up to the DOJ, I hope everyone capable will help provide financial assistance so the bullies will be put in their place.
The government is out of control, and the ignoramuses in charge are hellbent on stripping away the small remaining privacies we have left.
We must not allow that to happen. In this case, it would be wise to "think of the children" and the world they will be forced to live in if the government has its way.

Well, it's not like he's expected to know the difference between various laws, am I right?
They only need to act in "good faith" and SCOTUS will give them a free pass on their ignorance.

All of this seems to stem from a simple bit of (willful?) misunderstanding.
There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See.
There also none so ignorant as those who will not educate themselves about the business world they inhabit.
Goes to show
the only difference between crooks and cops... are badges.
how to buy a president
Can there be any doubt what so ever that these grateful corporations which are going to make billions more as a result of TPP passing, will "repay" Obama after he leaves office by filling his pockets with a very high fee to appear at their functions as a speaker?
Perhaps now his desperation makes a little more "cents".
"stretch"
"The idea that these documents, widely discussed publicly and in the press, would magically be banned from use in a legal case that was brought on because of those revelations is a huge stretch."
Everything else in the "reality" of the MPAA is a stretch for any normal person... why should this be any different?

you can expect ISP legal action on both fronts
Too bad the ISPs and their ilk haven't been forced to sign up for binding arbitration like everyone else that has to use their services.
Circumvent the entire court process with an arbitrator paid for by the FCC.
Sounds fair to me....
