Also... what exactly does skin contact with ricin do?
According to this, nothing:
The greatest danger from ricin is inhalation. The LD50 (50% chance of a dose being lethal) for ricin inhalation is 22 micrograms per kg. For an 80kg man this would be just 1.76 milligrams. Accidentally cough while opening the letter and its all over. Just pulling the letter out of the envelope would create enough airborne particles to be dangerous.
What I don't understand is this: Does someone think that the President of the United States actually opens his own mail?
Why does everything like this have to go to the Supreme Court?
Because that is where we set meaningful precedents that will have a significant impact on the interpretation of laws for years to come.
Maybe, maybe not. It might be he's trying to focus the spotlight on how outdated copyright law is in the digital era, and he may be trying to force change. Because he has a point. What's stopping you from duplicating a non-DRM MP3 and then reselling as many copies as you wish via this service?
The service actually tries to address this. Before you can offer a song for sale you have to "quarantine" it to the application on your computer. The service checks to make sure you have not already sold the song before making it available for purchase. How that is accomplished I do not know. Once the song sells, your quarantined copy is deleted. You could have another copy offline somewhere but I think the software will detect it if you try to sell that same copy again. The service really did try to do more than just remind you that you are supposed to delete your copy now.
"Courts have consistently held that the unauthorized duplication of digital music files over the Internet infringes a copyright owner's exclusive right to reproduce," Judge Sullivan wrote. "However, courts have not previously addressed whether the unauthorized transfer of a digital music file over the Internet -- where only one file exists before and after the transfer -- constitutes reproduction within the meaning of the Copyright Act. The court holds that it does."
Someone needs to audit the bank records for this judge. From his statement it is clear that the judge understands, at least to some extent, the implications of the decision that he is making. That he would issue a summary judgement on such an issue is bordering on misconduct.
The hard part is writing up specs that accurately reflect what is actually needed. Often, specs are ambiguous, incomplete or simply incorrect.
Not to mention the fact that even if they are clear, complete, and correct today, the user will want something else tomorrow.
The problem with using someone else to buy it is that there is still a person that may be able to identify you if forced to
Don't leave any loose ends then.

Don't forget to include an equal measure of apathy.
Bitcoin watchers and financial experts aren't as convinced. While the two events may be happening simultaneously, there is little, if any, hard evidence to suggest that one event is fueling the other.
Maybe someone needs a refresher in "correlation does not imply causation"?
