I'll tell you what, I haven't been to the Mexican border, I have flown out to Honduras a few times though. There, your bags are checked by hand with you watching. No muss, no fuss. If I cross the border and they demand to check my camera, cell phone or notebook (think the idiot minimum wage guy would know what to do on Linux or the Mac OS?), then I will watch you do it, no matter the time it takes you to do it. It might inconvenience you and me, but nobody touches my equipment unless I trust them. I have a problem with someone nosing through my stuff. Especially a minimum wage probably discontented worker looking to make some extra cash. Thanks but no thanks. It might take me 30 days or longer, and I'll make sure I enjoy every day of it. All hail the iron fist of the Feds!
Submission + - New Attorneys Fee Decision Against RIAA 1
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: "The RIAA has gotten slammed again, this time in Oregon, as the Magistrate Judge in Atlantic v. Andersen has ruled that Tanya Andersen's motion for attorneys fees should be granted. The Magistrate, in his 15-page decision, noted that, despite extensive pretrial discovery proceedings, "when plaintiffs dismissed their claims in June 2007, they apparently had no more material evidence to support their claims than they did when they first contacted defendant in February 2005....." and concluded that "Copyright holders generally, and these plaintiffs specifically, should be deterred from prosecuting infringement claims as plaintiffs did in this case." This is the same case in which (a) the RIAA insisted on interrogating Ms. Andersen's 10-year-old girl at a face-to-face deposition, (b) the defendant filed RICO counterclaims against the record companies, and (c) the defendant has recently converted her RICO case into a class action"
