This was my thought. Perhaps they are experiencing extra-legal pressure from some three letter agency. "Please be a nice company and cooperate by..."
Please let him at least wrangle an admission of wrongdoing from the TSA. The constant stream of lawsuits that are settled without the government acknowledging any accountability is frustrating and disheartening.
My brain inserted the word 'cup' after world. I already know there's a strong correlation between the World Cup and violence. I couldn't figure out how video games were related.
After reading the Google results I'm thinking football should be banned long before video games are.
So people wanting to fly indoors are screwed, too? And yes, there are probably buildings within the radius that you can comfortably fly a drone in.
There's nothing wasteful about a DVD shoved in a box.Everything about that dvd stored somewhere in a box is wasteful. Compared to a digital equivalent:
It's definitive proof of purchase.There are much more efficient ways to store a proof of purchase.
So the only legitimate options are ones you approve of? Weird way to frame a discussion. Right now, the most consumer friendly option is infringement. It doesn't have to be that way. I'd pay for quality digital downloads. I stopped buying dvd's when I realized how wasteful it was to just rip them and stick them in a box somewhere. I think with your system the harm to the environment is more reprehensible than copyright infringement.
But I'm not going to dismiss your method as not 'legitimate'.
Even those who want to be cord cutters can't legally view everything they want without cable.
This has been SOP for Apple for a long time. If you negatively report on their products, they blacklist you. This goes back to the 90's.

Based on his comments about V for Vendetta, I think it's telling that in Officer Berry's mind the oppressive corrupt government is the good guy.
Also, it's been a while since I've seen that movie so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the detective was 'hoping' that a cop would do something stupid so much as predicting the inevitability.
Very experienced in dealing with liars.
With the RIAA, the albums can make tons of cash, but the artists are so in debt to their labels that the label never has to pay royalties.
I was going to point this out. I worked customer service for years, and the only difference with what I and my co-workers experienced was that my authority was never challenged because I had none.
Make no mistake: this guy is dangerous. He absolutely believes he is right and is willing to back that up with force. He actually sounds like some kind of militant zealot.
From NYT:
Earlier, President Obama called on the police in Ferguson to be “open and transparent” as they investigate Mr. Brown’s death, and he urged calm in a city that has been rocked by violence.

The Honorable George H King, presiding.
My understanding is that it was dismissed in favor of (joined with?) Rupa Marya v. Warner Chappell Music Inc. That case looks active, but I don't have a PACER subscription to directly view information on it.
Let's add him to the list of people we have a right to forget about.
"Most child pornography offenders are white men with an average age of 41... The majority graduated from high school and hold jobs."
'white men' ... 'age of 41' That describes ME! Also, I have hard drives, thumb drives, and even memory cards. THEY EVEN HAVE PHOTOS ON THEM! I am a danger to society. Where do I turn myself in?
"Why are tech companies fighting media companies, rather than buying them out?"
Don't fight the dinosaur. Buy the dinosaur. Sounds great until you realize that now you have a dinosaur to care for and feed. Do you know how much Brontosaurus Chow goes for these days?
Re: Re:
do they knock?
From my extensive research on zombies and zombieism, I can state definitively that no, they do not knock.
