Comment but their streaming service sucks.. (Score 1) 490

Have you seen how low bitrate and over compressed Netflix is? It is no DVD or Bluray, which both contain more bits for audio and video. Bluray video is the defacto standard with lossless audio and 25Mbps AVC which fucking owns Netflix's shitty 1-5Mbps blocky detail missing low res Streams.

The biggest problem on top of that preventing modern movies from getting on Netflix is movie studio monopolistic and sabotorial licensing and copyright restrictions. The movie studios refuse to license new films at affordable rates to Netflix, and generally they want a very high rate PER stream therefore they cannot do the current model of allowing you to download what you want at the current rates. With DVD and Bluray they can do this because they purchase so many copies and can rent them out as much as they want, but DVD and Bluray are copyright protected and this prevents Netflix from converting a "disc" copy to another format. Instead they have to license the movies through other much more restrictive terms where each view of a movie gets paid for and cannot be reused or viewed by multiple people like a DVD or Bluray.

Luckily there are many online services you can switch to but the cost is higher. Look at Vudu. Generally they want $4 to $10 per stream. Purchases in HDX format cost $20. So you got there a DVD/Bluray replacement but it costs you more. If Netflix tried to match these guys they would be charging similar rates.

Welcome to the world where movie studios intend to extract $100 a month for digital copies of their new releases, and only old releases are available at the bargin $8.99/mo rate!

Also I am guessing that this is the end over suing someone just based on their IP address, although the IP address is certainly going to be evidence if you can get the evidence through other means. You will possibly be taking another route to build the case sufficiently to convince a judge; you will be going to the FBI who has jurisdiction over copyright law and enforcement, which makes it a Class C Felony to violate copyright law, with punishment of upto 5 years in prison and $500,000 fines per violation. Once the FBI has built the case up and verified the violations occurred, a criminal conviction will take place and restitution can be ordered otherwise the evidence can be turned over to the copyright holder for lawsuit purposes. A wound be lawsuit filer could actually subpoena FBI testimony and records to convince a judge on who a particular IP address actually belonged to, and any respective evidence of the infringements.

Beside this, the company might actually have to take another route to prove his case: He will be suing say, "Comcast" in the State of their main operation, for the disclosure of identity of user and other evidential records, if Comcast refuses to provide information about a suspected copyright infringer. This will get enough evidence to prove who an IP address belonged to and perhaps open them up to liability over the content that was shared or downloaded over the persons connection.

There are many ways to sue a copyright infringer, and the media companies just have to do it the right way.. Nowadays the judges seem to want more evidence upfront to justify use of court order to get this stuff done, and to prove venue it seems. :B

This case is wonderful because the judge decided since they had no physical evidence of who was actually being sued, ie no name, and apparently no way to verify that the IP address itself was actually located in Florida, that they did not prove that Florida was the proper venue to handle this case.

All the filers actually have to do is refile the case once new evidence has been obtained, like through either submitting the case to the FBI and asking them to contact the ISP in question of concern of the alleged copyright infringement, thus identifying the person's and the ISPs actual location and name/address/etc, and then the case can proceed once all this additional information is figured out. All the judge is saying is he doesn't have any proof that this IP belongs to a Florida resident, and that the evidence is not enough to warrant the judge to order any type of "discovery" of information or to force the ISP to provide additional information about the owner of the IP or the particular computers which may have been used to download the copyrighted content.

If the plaintiff comes back once all this has been figured out through other means then most likely the case will not be dismissed so easily.

What about like, my friend Ron, who had severe back pain but did a ton of exercises and physical therapy, and ended up overcoming his pain and disabling condition? From what he told me, they originally wanted to do some surgery, but he went the more natural route and literally had to go against his doctors advice to do it. In this example he would have been sold unnecessary surgery for something he didn't need, with no mention of alternative or "fixing" the problem another way, more natural, through internal mechanisms or any other mechanisms.

And unfortunately this is going on routine. Also, when it comes to tooth issues other than cavities, there are like no natural treatment modalities. For example I recently had my tooth get infected from lack of flossing in jail; the infection spread through gum tissue to the root, and the tooth remained alive as indicated by all the "cold" and "heat" and "electrical" tests they applied. I felt pain, boy I was glad; but the only treatment they have for removing an infection at the root? Fucking giving me a root canal, removing all the issue, getting rid of the nerve and all. But what I believe is proper is not to remove the still alive tissue, and instead engage in same therapy to treat the infection, naturally, with chemicals, with electromagnetism, whatever, cleaning it out and letting it heal,.. See I want them to treat the problem which is the actual infection, but all modern treatment modalities and all the developments in the field have taught them and left them with only the ability to remove the tooth or do a root canal. What a waste, what a fucking mother fuckering waste, .. Because that's how they make money I guess. lol.

And advanced treatment methods that could save the tooth with basically no surgery necessary don't even exist today, when the tooth is healthy otherwise and just infected with some bacteria. The same problem exists all over the place leading to all sorts of unnecessary and invasive tooth destroying surgeries that make the practitioners a ton of money. :(

Comment the problem for the medical community is. (Score 2) 395

The conspiracy theories are always partially truth and the medical model does not have any method for scientifically proving the public wrong. They rather use discredidation tactics and speculation like calling it all a conspircy theory even though they do not really know if something is true or not. They generally overlook government abuse and classification of information that might prove the public right on things like the government or corporations withholding information about natural cures and functional treatments, or the allowance of public genocide and medical based injuries. The real conpiracy is exposed because doctors have an aligned interest with pharmacutical industry to push drugs and treatment for condition that either should not be treated or do not get better with medications, get worse, or have little to no effect, like many drug based cancer treatments and psychiatric treatments. The industry also effectively lies about all the harmful effects of drugs and covers up their ineffectiveness. Often times medical professionals even have ties to military, CIA and other government operations, using the public for genocide and weapons experimentation like they did in MKULTRA. For evidence of the psychitric drug abuse/cover up, look up the psychiatric affidavits of Robert Whitaker and Dr. Grace E. Jackson on this page for example: http://www.oregonstatehospital...

It says that not only do people with schizophrenia recover at higher rates without medication but those who take medication never recover. Medication users also get heavy brain damage and 10% brain shrinkage, and die 25 years sooner as a result. Antidepressants also cause such permanent damage that people can never withdraw from them, cause mania and are not significantly more effective than placebo, whereas excersise is 80% effective by itself and doesn't require taking an ineffective pill.

The industry has also been proven to lie about chemical imbalances causing mental illness, as no chemical imbalance has ever been shown except in people on medications.

Finally, the medical model treats real issues and expected human responses as something to be drugged out of people, even when they in fact are not diseases. They might say a traumatized women who is afraid of losing her newest baby after multiple miscairages should be drugged and has mental illness rather than trauma, for example. A person legitimately attacked or set up by government operatives might also be labeled schizophrenic and paranoid despite it really being real, because medical professionals do little to validate government abuse or whether others are lying about the situation, leading to treatment with force of deadly brain damaging drugs.

So they invented a new military grade radar system for consumer usage in and around the home.

The military has had these systems (directed-energy radar systems) for use in human targeting for decades. A few capabilities include tracking heart rate, breathe, license plates, and brain waves (mind reading/altering). Fully patented since 1974 by Robert Malech. Details here: http://www.oregonstatehospital...

There are other uses of radar technologies coming into the consume land including personal cell "cellular" technology which tracks each cellphone individually and creates a pocket of reception (using energy beamed right to the devices, ala directed-energy) around the device itself rather than using omnidirectional antenna systems. The article about this was on Slashdot just last month.. http://mobile.slashdot.org/sto...

The way to perfection is mind reading technology to valid emotions, thoughts, memories, and impulses, to perfectly prosecute and convict all current government criminals and prevent them from ever regaining power. The Department of Defense, NSA, CIA, and FBI already possess this technology but its being used for psychic warfare and serious spy games abuses.

Perfect conviction is also possible of criminals, and knowing exactly what happened to lead up to finding crime, committing crime, altercations during police encounters, and more. We wouldn't need juries anymore either because a computer can determine guilt and proper "rehabilitation" for all citizens without bias. No flaws, no false convictions, no long trials or need for appeals as the current system work. Releases could be based on the persons actual risk based on their brain waves and thoughts, risks, plans, rather than the typical arbitrary shit and personal opinions of the public today.

Dr. Robert Duncan's book The Matrix Deciphered mentions the literal conspiracy to hide this technology, because it could be used to convict our corporate and Presidential and military overlords, who have lied and conspired and covered up every crime they ever committed, including with this mind reading/altering weapon.

Also, CIA Project MKULTRA was a program of human genocide and testing on the American people by the CIA back in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. In this program they developed weapons to control peoples minds, and drugs, like LSD, psilocybin, and Radio Hypnotic Intracerebral Control Electronic Dissolution of Memory and Voice of God weapons to beam sounds and words into the minds of targets. They tested this out on thousands of unwitting victims around the country, and prisoners and other people. They had the US Military involved, the FBI, hospitals, and psychiatrists around the country took part.

Additionally, the FBI ran program COINTELPRO in which activists and others were assassinated by the FBI.

On top of this, Dr. Robert Duncan says that MKULTRA never ended, and the program continues today under new names. They have been heavily into mind control and public sabotage ever since the CIA was created in the 1940s. The NSA also did very similar surveillance programs under MINART back in the 1950s, through the 1970s, as soon as they were created.
