Not just complicated, but impossible. You can't pass laws that retroactively revoke immunity. The immunity for acts committed up until the enactment of any law that removes the immunity cannot be revoked.

The most they could do is make it so that any future acts are not covered by immunity.

There isn't even any room to wiggle on this point, it is a simple fact of US Constitutional law.

The constitution does not call for "separation of church and state" as it is so often misrepresented. It simply says that the Government cannot respect one religion over another. Freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion (And for the record, I'm not a believer in any religion)

Not all legal judgments can be discharged via bankruptcies. The judgment holder can file an adversary complaint and oppose the discharge of the judgment debt. Judgments related to normal debt issues can almost always be discharged via bankruptcies (i.e., you own a credit card company, they sue, get a judgment, that judgment can be resolved via the bankruptcy), but since the RIAA judgment alleges injury related to misconduct, they can argue to have their judgment considered outside of the bankruptcy process, and avoid its discharge.

You miss the point. You seem to think that discussing the bad decisions by a software publisher and being annoyed/angry about them, and discussing the hows and whys is because of a sense of entitlement.

You are wrong to make that leap.

Does Google have the RIGHT to require you to run an updater to use their software? Sure, provided they are DISCLOSING what they are doing and what you are agreeing to (something that was NOT the case until the last couple of days).

Does that make their demand acceptable?

No.

And every time you rerun one of the google apps, it reloads the updater and sets it to auto run again.

So no, this isn't a solution.

So Google gets to run a stay resident updater. Now, every other software publisher whose software you have installed starts to do the same. That 500k is now 500k x # of Publishers.

Offer the updater, to those like you who want it. But provide a means to disable it, or change its behavior, for those who choose to do that.

Google is offering no choice in the matter except to not use their software at all.
