  you missed something

  nice write, but your missing a bigger picture here DHS has jurisdiction over 200 miles from any entry point in the US. This is particularly troubling when you actually look at what that covers (a very small area in the center of this country) I was never a conspiracy theorist until the last presidency ended and some of their tactics came out

  Sooner or later

  
  Fan base will start to drop off for a few reasons
  1. If I'm new to the area how will I know whats available for entertainment unless the local news hypes it by writing a story or a news blip on TV
  
  2. so many people will be thrown into jail for discussing the game at the water cooler, because they don't have the express written permission of the sports authority
  
  Isn't this getting a bit ridiculous that everything having to be worth something or belong to Someone
  

• On the post: Will Comcast's Own Words Kill Its Lawsuit Against The FCC?

  That would be like saying

  that your telco can only direct your calls to commercial/emergency entities it deemed appropriate because it didn't like how others conducted business, Or hadn't paid for routing to their number. Mark my words this is the beginning of a ride on a slippery slope that I certainly don't want to take.
  
  How long before they squeeze out companies like Vonage just because they can degrade network performance for that particular vendor that is in direct competition with comcast voice service?

  How could this sound wrong

  this follows the RIAA business model
  collect money from everyone and give none of it to the artist

  When do judges recognize that these organizations don't have any logical basis for what they claim, but that they'll simply throw everything at the wall to see what sticks in a mad dash to protect an obsolete business model from innovation?
  When we stop supporting artists that use these people

  Re: Wrong on so many counts

  Face it there are a bunch of people who don't care about laws that do this for the sole purpose of exploiting the problems and taking your money/vote/whatever
  its the people that research the problems with security that save us from really bad things from happening. the fact that they publish the findings should speak volumes of their intent. the big issue here is that these people did somethings that went against a large company who's product was not as secure as they claimed to be. We havent seen this type of backlash from the DNS systems issues that brought about DNSSec protocols implementation. we've only seen this backlash from companies who's supposed products are SUPPOSED to be secure.
  
  Time to start thinking on your own and stop shouting the party line
