As the article states, it's very rarely only $20... they're charging $20 per song. And yes, they expect you to admit guilt along with the payment.
I think he's saying use Tor to avoid being caught in the first place. Of course there's nothing stopping Rightscorp from just accusing people at random, since there's absolutely no recourse for the falsely accused but to pay up or lose your Internet connection.
I don't really care which way they go. My point was they haven't decided anything, but in typical
As for politians making decisions on technology, that's usually a bad idea.
One politician said it failed... all other reports of the project (even very recently) have said it's been a success. The actual article says they are convening a panel of experts to consider whether to go back to Microsoft, so despite the misleading summary here, nothing has been decided.

Nowhere in TFA did it say he had a "temper tantrum" nor did it say he yelled at the agent. True it only tells one side of the story, but you're applying your own imagination as to how things really went down.
And the slashdot summary states the children were age 6 and 9.
Southwest allows families with children aged 4 or under to board between the 'A' and 'B' groups, or during the 'A' group if the parent is in the 'A' group.
They're aren't rude and irrational people in the 3rd world?
Calling someone "rude" is neither intimidating nor harassment.
Their policy says it extends to children aged 4 and under, his kids are older than 4.
She said he'd be arrested if he didn't delete the tweet. The arrest would violate the 1st amendment.
