Jail isn't going to do any good unless you put the whole agency in jail.
Fine by me.
Unless the law will include criminal penalties it's of no value.
It's interesting how laws made to limit non-government workers *always* have the criminal penalties, and laws that are made to limit government workers always conveniently forget that part. When we start jailing people who break laws like this we'll start making headway.
This. A 1000 times this!
The settlement terms of my lawsuit against EA included that they're supposed to inform UPFRONT of the SecuROM DRM.
If they're no longer doing that, I've got standing to sue the fuck out of them again.
Please do so.
No, SecuROM does not damage a computer in any way.

how exactly are you "working to eliminate [living in scarcity] in America"?
So communism and socialism is a religion?
The theoretical socioeconomic systems, not really.
The actual attempts at implementation (Stalinism, Maoism, etc.), very much so.
And that's something I'm working to eliminate in America.
Please elaborate.
You should have offered to help.

Would you remove your appendix yourself ? Don't go in court without a lawyer, specially when the other part has one. That's a stupid move.
In most civilized countries, the government covers the cost of removing your appendix.
Justice cannot exist the law is so convoluted that a if a third party professional is required to help you understand it. Then it just becomes a competition to find out which professional is most cunning, rather than who is legally in the right.
If the judge is prejudiced against you for choosing not to use a lawyer, it's just a protection racket where everyone involved in law is scratching each others' backs.
Please mod parent up.
isn't that exactly what happens here? the blogger had no lawyer and lost.
And that's why people hate lawyers.
They perpetuate a system that requires you to purchase justice. The more you pay, the more you get.
The actual facts and circumstances do not matter.
