I think it'd be easy for Yelp to claim harm to their business because of the fake reviews. Assuming someone goes to this law firm because they have such glowing (and fake) reviews...gets royally screwed over, that person is not going to trust Yelp any longer as a means of finding services.
I'm not the biggest political guy (though I live in the DC Metro area, I've become a bit anesthetized to it all) -- but what, exactly, is stopping us from firing this people? I thought the Constitution allowed us, as a people, to be able to kick these folks out of office?
I'm not trolling. I just a guy who wonders why we continue to put up with this nonsense.
A few months ago, 1 bitcoin was like $13. Now it's like $87. All this does is validate BC as a legitimate currency, and because of that...the whole thing has explored. A new hype/bubble? Perhaps. Time will tell.
He's notorious for not requiring more money than he really needs. Sure, I bet he's doing leaps and bounds better financially than any of us...but with that whole direct-to-fans video he did last year, he only kept like a quarter of what he actually made and in a lot of his stand up, he discusses that money "is a resource". If it pools around him and he just holds onto it...then the resource isn't circulating and that's a problem.
I agree. She's a bit naive, but definitely not a troll.
She actually works for the government of Swedish tourism or something like that...that's why she got control of the account, NOT because they pulled her name out of a hat consisting of the census.
I don't really go to the movies much anymore, but I'm thinking a trip to an AMC theater to see "Bully" is something that I can get behind. I will patronize good decisions.
I'd be interested in picking that album up. I love it when hip-hop artists step outside their comfort zones and try something different. Worked well for Mos Def, Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilities...to name a few.
Now the tough decision...do I buy it to show there's support for this album or jump on the "FUCK UNIVERSAL" bandwagon and just pirate it?
That's what I was thinking. Being aggressive about it, not only to show is "disavowment" but to also, hopefully, prevent other supporters from making such videos.

When?
When can we expect to see the outcome of this? I'm at the edge of my seat with anticipation of how this works out.

Apple is winning.
Apple is the most valuable company in the world. It's hard to argue in favor of anyone else's approach.

He's really awesome.

He did say that none of the suing that Apple is doing is for standard-essential patents. If that's true - then the tone of this story is moot.
Have you investigated whether or not Apple is in fact NOT suing anyone for standard-essential patents?
If what he said is true that Apple isn't suing anyone under those grounds, then his statement is true and is not double-edged.
Why isn't this illegal?
It seems like this should be illegal. Like career politicians.
I'm not much of a movie guy...

This is an amazing article! I love Public Citizen's response!

Forgiveness vs. Permission
This all goes back to that age old saying: "It's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission."

Sounds like they're about to blow up the house trying to kill a mouse that's immune to explosives.
WTF?!!
