1) Happy to see this here on TechDirt! 2) Yes, this is extremely frustrating. However, it is not a new problem. This kind of crap has been going on for years, be it an official policy or not. :/
This is a prime example of why I never actually mind paying my T-Mobile bill. It also helps that I've gotten over 100Mbps download speeds on their LTE...
This is just getting ridiculous. I'm going to mount a remote-activated stealth camera in my car just for traffic stops since showing your camera is apparently a felony.
I still don't see what's so hard about someone going "sorry guys, we fucked up." But I guess they have to acknowledge that they fucked up in the first place for that to happen...
I watched the local news channel the other night, and when the sports broadcaster came on for the 10:00 news, he said that he would /like/ to broadcast highlights of the just-finished baseball game, but he couldn't because of the "stupid" rebroadcast rights that the MLB had in place.
Honestly, I think they should keep this hyped up. It keeps people interested. In this economy and with all of the negativity in the world, there needs to be some optimism and excitement to keep the masses sane. :)
I don't see how big organizations like the PPCA expect people to blindly conform to their will and accept these outrageous fees. They had to know that there was at least a possibility of it backfiring...

Re: Damn
One can hope.
I now respect Rep. Polis on an infinitely greater level. We need more people like him in our legislative bodies.

Doesn't the squad car have a dash cam anyway?
C'mon.

Phew!
Bullet dodged. Except they're going to reload. We better start donning our kevlar...

I'm pretty sure there's something better than that... I call it "Good Music + Milkdrop viz".
I will be adding this to the growing list of reasons why Woot is one of my favorite companies of all time.
This is just wrong. I wonder if there is any chance of it getting overturned.
"tends of thousands", eh? ;) Spelling mistake, feel free to remove this comment when fixed.
Re: Wait, What?
Seriously, lawyers should be disbarred after filing crap like this.
Truth!
Great clip. :D
What if you need to call 911 to bring the ambalamps?
Thank you.
Thank you. The hideous logo just turned into terrible porn. Definitely what I wanted to see plastered all over creation in 2012. LOL
Well
I'll be waiting for all the record companies to jump at this.
Unbelievable
Flip the damn page over! LOL
Wow
