  sadly, I admit, my analysis is prob beyond you, i could post a white paper, but that defeats my purpose, why? because i don't work for you. you are arguing a point of contention that is already past, and proven, i am not trying to discredit you, just your ability to swim with the big fish.

  unfortunately, no, I am not a troll, just someone that doesn't like capitalization. but seriously, you are not taking me serious, so, I therefore do not take your's either.

  true, I know not your staff, but can see your code, this is my basis for conjecture, but the facts remain =]

  Re: Re: Re: Re: reporting

  thank you Leigh, I never mentioned some conspiracy, however, I can see your code (for the website) and it was obviously changed, again, stating fact.

  Re: Re: reporting

  I was not thinly veiling anything, merely stating fact. as for your 'perceived' threat, this is nothing of the sort. it is again merely stating fact. I respect Masnick, and you as well, this is a very informative blog, i would never affect it in a black hat manner, I am only stating fact.

  reporting

  nice move by your coding staff, changing your policy so that you have to be logged in to the site in order to 'vote', aka, click on the insightful, funny, and report buttons. earlier it was tied to logged in membership cookies, but that's ok, there is a way around that too. but I am impressed by the implementation of such a change so quickly.
  
  for those not following along at home. A/C or any viewer could click on the insightful, funny, or report buttons without having to be logged in. i took it upon myself to begin flyswatting the greedtards here and their litany of idiodic arguments that weren't even arguments in order to hide their posts. and in one day it was changed.
  
  i am probably giving your IT staff too much credit, being as techdirt is based on wordpress, and not real code, or the ability of your IT to actually code for themselves. so, instead of using Zeus on your wordpress, I followed your restrictions and used vpn to vote multiple times. but that's ok too, I can understand why you changed the rules. easily enough circumvented, but i get it.
  
  after posting under probably 23 different IPs here, I can easily increase that by 3,000 different IPs. but I have a better idea and you should probably expect new and inventive ways of censoring the idiots here, it's a good taste of their own medicine. one thing you should always remember, there is always someone out there that is incredibly smarter than you are, this is the way of the internet. I respect you Mr. Masnick, and your blog, but you really shouldn't fuck with ppl smarter than you are.

  if you do some research you will find that Microsoft started this practice back in the '80's., build incomplete or vulnerable code, like, cut you then sell you a band-aid.

  not required

  to police copyright on their ISP. So, if iiNet has been vindicated in the courts, and not required to do anything about Hollywoods foot stomping, why are they at the table discussing 'remedies'?
  
  I got a remedy for you, give the ppl what they want, or they will continue to get it from other means for another decade.

  Re: Re: $1-billion to labels?

  I think the entire fear is based on the ability for a customer to have a library large enough that they no longer need to consume any of the new crap. Limits on content, windowing, regioning, DRM, trade restrictions, they all point to the same fear, that the consumer will stop buying what they are peddling. they are relevant in their own minds.
  
  over the last 15 years, I have watched as the file sharing community grew, and grew, and grew, and grew, and grew. where do you think things like grokster, morbius, hotline, kdx sprung from? the inability to distribute flawless copies was resolved 16 years ago.
  
  today we have usenet, bittorrent, file lockers, sftp, vpn, proxies, streaming on-demand media, from a bunch of bored geeks, imagine what could be built if the MAFIAA ceased to exist.
