As of this post, yes it is.
Why can't I expect free online play forever? I have it with many other older games.
Dignitas and so forth are fairly thorough in making sure it's not a spur of the moment decision, but a carefully thought out and planned one knowing all that's involved. That handles most of your point 2 already.
It doesn't need to destroy a plane to have detrimental effects.
We *know* that electronic devices can, in a practical sense, interfere with each other. This is simple physics.
The tolerances and levels involved are what is at question. The decision is made on the side of safety.

Disclaimer: Readers of this post may note that it has fuck all to do with cheese (aside from the possibility that the poster has watched too many episodes of Wallace and Grommit). My excuse is that I've just now discovered that when making a post, the Subject field offers a pre-populated set of choices. If the powers that be at Slashdot considers those valid, legitimate and appropriate Subjects, then cheese it is. Hmm. Maybe I am feeling a bit peckish?
I would suspect that the contents of the subject field depends on what you've entered there before, as per your browser's record of such things for filling in forms automagically..
Just a tiny bit of devil's advocacy: two 15-year-olds recording themselves is still, legally, child porn. Who's harmed?
