Pirates don't rip streaming media but Blurry discs or something of higher quality.
If it's a blurry disc, wouldn't it be lower quality? *badum tish*

Whenever you visit any web page with Javascript enabled, you are inherently agreeing to execute some code on your system. It doesn't really matter if it's displaying animated kittens are calculating bitcoin blocks. Indeed, we should all hail this as a great thing if it means criminals becoming less criminal...
I think you've missed the idea. From TFA:
He believes that crooks could infect websites with JavaScript code that would turn visitors into unsuspecting Bitcoin miners. As long as you're visiting the website, you're mining coins for someone else
The criminal activity isn't mining bitcoins on someone else's machine, it's putting your code on someone else's website without their consent. It's not a new type of criminal activity, just a new incentive to do it.

When using Google Glass, is it true that this product would be able to use Facial Recognition Technology to unveil personal information about whomever and even some inanimate objects that the user is viewing? Would a user be able to request such information? Can a non-user or human subject opt out of this collection of personal data? If so, how? If not, why not?
Substitute "google glass" with "United States Law Enforcement" and you begin to see how fucking hypocritical this entire endeavor is

Am I doing it right? And if the united states law enforcement uses google glass, does it cause meta-problems?

One time, this guy handed me a picture of him, he said,"Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture is of you when you were younger. "Here's a picture of me when I'm older." "You son-of-a-bitch! How'd you pull that off? Lemme see that camera... what's it look like? "
