IIRC, this injunction usually applies to US based Domain Name servers, as the courts lack jurisdiction to enforce the ruling internationally.

When government overreach and business opportunity meat, there is tyranny.

They were getting bad PR because of how they went about litigating against "individuals".

The record labels would first sue the ISP and then demand discovery to obtain the ISP's customer base.

They would then drop the first case and, with the newly "discovered" information, file a second case against against the john/jane doe entity without even verifying if the defendant of the case actually was the entity that breached their copyright, merely them owning the IP associated with the activity being enough..

They would then demand excessive amounts of compensation grossly disproportionate with the "harm" they claim was incurred.

This became an incredibly shady business model that persisted for a decade. And in most jurisdictions is considered a frivolous law suit or abuse of the courts.

What does the CCP have to do with KEI trucks and the Toyota Hilux?

Same here.

I keep seeing really affordable EV cars as well as Toyota's Hilux Champ, that we'll never get in the states.

Except this isn't a slippery slope. This is the repeat of history.

“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.”

The failure of sales might had something to do with the down payment on a car level of price.

Meanwhile the huawei tri-fold sold for almost half the cost...

Exactly. Valve has money, ergo they're a juicy target for class action lawsuits with sympathetic narratives.

Did you even read the parent post?

The parent poster said nothing about knowledge.

Most states have what are called "wiretapping" laws which are different than 4th amendment protections and vary from state to state.

That is not how privacy and recording/wiretapping laws work. Otherwise anyone could post a sign in a bathroom and record you doing your business.

Did you see the star wars prequil episode 2?

First you create the problem. (in this case immigration of a large percentage of barbaric males who are religiously justified to rape underaged girls because their holy text says it's ok)

Then you offer the solution to the problem you created! And that solution includes an unchecked blanket increase in authority with a simultaneous reduction in liberty of the citizenry.

We all know what happens next. History is chock-fucking-full of examples.

Lets make no mistake here, when the article mentions nation states intentionally sabotaging the cables and ships "dragging their anchors", these two things are one and the same.

Russia and China have been caught repeatedly destroying undersea cables by dragging anchors "accidentally". There is no "accidentally" dragging an anchor any considerable distance.

These cables are designed to be robust and long lasting (because replacement is expensive and a pain in the ass). Any damage is almost always intentional.

You mean the police panicking, and then shooting up the homeowners...

No matter what, the police are not our (us citizens') friends. They exist only to extort revenue and threaten compliance in the populace.

We should question every new tool they receive and understand how they will abuse it, just like they've done everything else.

I absolutely hate how they can arrest and detain without any measurable quantifier for DUI or speeding. Literally they just get to make shit up and courts back them.
