There are ways of dealing with this scenario. The simplest being, don't keep the information on the laptop. After entering the country, use VPN or some other secure means of downloading the data.

Admittedly there are likely scenarios where this would be problematic (classified info?), but for most business related cases I would think this would be an acceptable workaround.
 

Comment Re:Pandora needs to change technology to win. (Score 3, Insightful) 107

Except that Pandora doesn't exactly stream live radio. They generate content streams customized to the listener (or in the case of the genre "stations" specific to that genre). So yeah the closest Pandora could get would be a few million cds and some sort of switching mechanism for the stream.

They pay for access to the content, plus a per play fee. Really don't see how the ruling could be in any way applied to Pandora

It'll happen on a random Saturday afternoon on SyFy, and will star Randy Quaid,
or maybe one of the Baldwin brothers. After the Evil CEO (or maybe the Evil Govt. Official)
ignores his scientific advisers and uses a nuke, the leak will erupt into a monstrous CGI
oil-geyser and send a hundred-foot high tsunami of flaming petro-death towards Florida.

You realize of course that somebody somewhere is writing exactly that script right? And SyFy would be the one to show it assuming they haven't been taken over by some wrestling league by then... All wrestling all the time
