I've never seen a civil complaint where the name of the law firm representing the plaintiff had been deleted (it only says on file). That seems very odd.
I just hooked an old notebook to the VGA in on my living room flat screen and bought a wireless keyboard/mouse combo which I keep underneath my coffee table.
If you buy the argument that you are infringing by using a single master to load all machines, but giving each machine its own genuine copy of the Apple OS, can't you argue that the damage is de minimis?
The list of exchanges that Speak Easy is blocking a number of rural exchanges. I was unaware that Upper Michigan, for example (906) area code had a number of the traffic pumping operations like rural Iowa. Conversely, as a lower Michigander I frequently do call the U.P. If these exchange have legitimate users, I'd be real annoyed that I could call the numbers.
Obviously I am lacking a ton of information. Arguably the jury was instructed if they found that the case did not involve "widgets," they could not apply the safe harbor. If you are one of the attorneys (or parties), etc., why don't you take five minutes to summarize what the issues were about. I don't know if L.V. sent them a dozen letters saying the items were fake or simply argued that anyone should know they were fakes. I don't know whether the website said "copy purses," "knockoffs," or whether they were arguing that the web hosting company should have known they were fakes because any fashion maven knows that L.V. only distributes through brick and mortar stores.
People say that this case establishes a horrible precedent, but the only documents they provided are light on substance. Was the issue litigated in pretrial motions? A copy of the pretrial rulings on the issue might be helpful.
I'm reading that the sky is falling, but only have Chicken Little's word on this. The ruling could easily be a real outrage, but we are scant on information.
The article talks about the need for a safe harbor for web hosting companies, but look at Verdict Question No. 12 of the scribd document linked to in the article. "Has the Defendant proven by a preponderance of the evidence that it is entitled to a safe harbor in the DMCA?" Answer: "No."
Once you get out of metropolitan areas, you lose the 3g. I bought Sirius to listen to music in Michigan's Upper Pennisula (which I frequently have to visit), for long drives through Canada (where I'm roaming), and in numerous other places where it simply would not owrk.
Of all the the political appointments that George Bush made, my two favorites were both named "Powell." Unfortunately, they seemed to have both been given the golden boot.
With respect to the current chairman of the FCC, I suggest that you follow the money rather than the morality. That seems to explain alot more.
