Is it ok to sell counterfeit clothes and purses and watches? Ignoring the "IP" issue, selling a counterfeit item as an original is fraud. These guys weren't selling these items as "copies."
As far as your loss of control over your private property, you know if you go down to the store and purchase a DVD, you are free to sell it to someone else.
But you want to claim the bits now belong to you, and you have the right to copy them and sell them to someone else (and stopping you is somehow censorship). Well the person who created the item, had an agreement with society. He would create the item, if you let him own the copyright for a few years. If you don't honor that agreement, people might stop creating things. If you don't support copyright, then you don't support content creators. You know, the people creating the content that you WANT.

If it was me being shot... I would think, "WAY cool, what app is this and where can I get it?"

We used to bring dart guns to school. I made a special double barreled one, still got it around here someplace.

Actually WE do (we being everyone but the idiotic administrator.) The answer is NEVER.

Why. why do you automatically think that maybe this represents intention? Have you ever seen people throw darts at pictures of their bosses? Is your first thought "I better find out if this represents novelty of intention?"

Look at what? When I was a kid we used to run around and shoot each other with rubber band guns and dart guns. Shoot I used to run a game of "assassin" in high school. Should we be investigated? No, we were just kids. Based on the story in the article, this kid did NOTHING to warrant a second thought (other than perhaps "hey, is there a problem and do you need help."

TFA: "arrested for terrorizing and interference of the operation of a school."
He didn't terrorize anyone. And I'm not sure how he interfered with the operation of the school. The article doesn't indicate this, but my guess is, he didn't actually interfere with the operation of the school.

Uhm ok... No ACTUAL weapons were used in the making of this story. So what does the fact it is easier for kids to illegally obtain them have to do with anything? Because the kid MIGHT get a weapon? That isn't a good enough reason to arrest him. So really the "right to bear arms" "crap" has nothing to do with this story.

There seems to be a market for quality recordings http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2013/09/11/219727031/what-does-a-song-that-costs-5-sound-like

FTS: "the monster trucks of the DVR world"
But the title is "Monster Truck of Tivos"
Why? Why do we have to use Tivo as a synonym for DVR, can't we just say DVR?

There are better ways to study traffic patters, than to look for only SOME of the vehicles. Like you know maybe studying ALL the vehicles, like pretty much any other metropolis does.

That is only because they didn't listen to their constituents. Everyone ELSE knew what the impact would be, except for the people passing the law.

The purpose of TSA is safety: "Protect the Nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce."
So it is to stop someone from blowing the plane up, as well as stop them from hijacking a plane and flying it into a building. Keep in mind that TSA's mission is NOT specific to air flight!

Anyone can estimate it, it is very very very close to 0.

The same way everything else in the airport is broken up by airline, as I'm sure it was done before 9/11. Or better yet, don't do any security at all!
There are airports in Europe that have security at the gate, and these are awful. Not only does it not help to get there early, as the gate doesn't open up until a certain time, there is generally no facilities after the checkpoint. No food, no water, no toilets (not always, some have toilets and vending machines)
