There actually many ways I can kill someone and it is not murder, or even illegal.

And I don't even live in Florida!

This is an interesting point, but it does lead to another problem/cost. If you don't have the threat of a death sentance, then you can't get evil people to take a life without parole sentence without a trial. No one take a Life-WO-parole sentence, no matter how guilty they are, unless there is something worse on the table.

Take this case for instance:

There is no way this dude doesn't take Life-WO-parole sentence without a trial if the death penalty was an option (he got something like 500 years after trial). Those no-death sentence cases cost taxpayer money as well.

But human contact and external stimuli in a physical separation situation would required a greater cost. Spending more on prisons is not high on anyone's radar but the ACLU.

Who can say this? Someone that is 14? I'd say for most people, gaming peaks when you are in your early teens. You just have too much stuff going on later in life.

Not if you are married. It is no longer just YOUR home and YOUR stuff. Now it is, as we would say in the South, Y'ALL home and Y'ALL stuff. Your wife would have just as much of a right to consent to the search.

No the new law seems to apply to a GF or any resident in the home, which I'm thinking goes too far.

It is pretty routine to ignore these types of warrants until they land in your face.

When they first received the warrant they may have rolled by her home, and if she was not there, put it in a pile of unlocated warrant suspects and log it in the computer. Now the next time she had an interaction with law enforcement, say a speeding ticket or a proof of insurance checkpoint, the warrant would pop up and she would be arrested and taken to court to clear the warrant.

Have you ever even been to upstate New York?

I think most people by now understand the difference. The real question is do we want (what I will call) common copyright infringement, which is already against the law as a civil matter to be criminal fineable or jailable offense.

But now, do we want common copyright infringement infringement to be a crime?

I think most hear can agree that using someone's copyright against their will is wrong. But is it a moral wrong, a civil wrong, or a criminal wrong? Clearly those who own the copyrights don't want others using their copyrights without their authorization/compensation. But is this a battle that we want the government involved in, criminally? Some copyright infringement already is criminal. Remember all of those FBI warnings at the beginning of DVDs? If you start selling copyrighted materials as your own, you could be going to jail. And I think we call all agree that this is a crime. Clearly in large scale infringement cases, for example Microsoft using some Apple copyright, a civil proceeding is warranted and suitable.

But what do we do with individual offenders? The Pirate bay types. What type of crime is is? A moral one like adultery? (used to be a crime, but is not anymore **exceptions noted**) or should it rise to a punishable offense? What is the line between the two?

These are the questions we should be asking ourselves and as a society and not allowing special interest groups to drive the discussion.

Almost certainly they will just auction them off like they would with a seized car or house. Someone will probably pay 97 cent or so to the dollar on the spot exchange rate of bitcoins to dollars on that day and it will be his problem to convert them on an exchange.

It a city that size, that doesn't really seem like that many to me.

Everyone that has a Ford has given his consent by signing on of the 300 forms that you sign when you get a new (to you) car.

I assume that if it is ever stored, I can be retrievable by the government through court order or NSA subpoena.

I assume the next stop would be to be used by private citizens in traffic accident lawsuits.

If they were serious about this, Why not fork into two separate pools?

Not really. Pretty much anyone who is currently in the press gets held in solitary confinement because the corrections department doesn't what their name in the papers if something happens to him.
