Looters ransacking universities - oh, that's the fault of the US.
To be fair, the looters probably wouldn't have looted if the US didn't invade Iraq. It's easy to stay on moral high ground when you don't have boms dropping all around you.

I hope you can see the problems a company (or organization of companies) that sells devices using radio waves might have with suing the FCC.
I'm quite sure that being vengeful is not part of FCC's mandate. FCC is required to evaluate all products fairly, based on their merit. If they deny your product because you are suing them, you can probably sue them again for thta...

I wonder how successful would be a company providing data storage service like Dropbox, but with guaranteed data security.
There are several companies like that: http://www.wuala.com/ , https://spideroak.com/ , http://www.swissdisk.com/. They are doing OK, I believe, but don't have the hype of Dropbox. They don't have to say they guarantee the security because only the user has the keys (which is the best guarantee possible).

The only flaw with the DMCA is the ability for the content owners to use infringement notices with impunity.
Nooo! Don't forget about the anti-circumvention rules.

I was going to write something similar -- the premise of this story, and the idea of war in general, is deeply psychopatic. Like it's OK to kill someone as long as you do it "cleanly", but you can't disrespect them? I think you are being too nice to the soldiers as well, painting it as self defence. These soldiers (on both sides) are driving around and seeking out enemies, for the sole purpose of killing them!
It's almost comical (in a very dark way). Wars cause too much collateral damage, how about we battle it out in Counter-Strike instead? US would still have the upper hand, with those nice Alienware gaming systems, and we could shoot the "soldiers" that lose to raise the stakes. It really isn't any more absurd, and it's a lot less messy. Tea-bagging is NOT allowed and will cause great headlines, though.
