Why not just declare eminent domain over the internet. Hillary will let us know when we can check our email.

Another major decision against the interests of the public and for big government and big business.
The courts are out of control.
To: ConservativeMan55
I move for impeachment!
It is possible to impeach justices isn't it?

USSC 2005:
Ten Commandments = Bad
Government tearing down your house to build a strip mall = Good.

Unbelievable.
Say goodbye to Betamax and the idea that PEOPLE are guilty, NOT TECHNOLOGY.
THEY WILL SAY GUNS ARE ILLEGAL NEXT SINCE GUNS ARE RESPONSIBLE, NOT THE PEOPLE.
Unbeliable.
Better not use your VCR or DVD to record anything.
Just sick.

No one should be surprised. This court is corportist, not capitalist.

Oh, please.
The court was essentially reaffirming that theft is illegal. Theft of intellectual property is as real as theft of property, even though many FEEL they have the right to intellectual theft.
Those who INTENTIONALLY aid and abet this theft are themselves liable, that the way I interpret this verdict.
And by the way, I agree with it.

This is a complete and utter reversal of Betamax.
This decision is 100 times more devastating than the Ten Commandments rulings.
Truly just stunning.

No, the court is socialist.

**sigh**
Well, forget about developing new networking applications - if it can even remotely be used to transfer movies or music, it'll be shut down instantly.
NOT that I support the pirates, but this decision to me is the same thing as sueing Smith & Wesson if a bank robber uses a gun to rob a bank - I guess the law of the land is that if you make something that can be abused, you're liable - so, if I get hit by a drunk driver who drives an Explorer, I can sue Ford for selling him the car, and making it available to him to abuse.
Who do you talk to if you want to become a citizen of New Zealand?

Well I hope you're happy now that an auto manufacturer can be sued because they made the car used as a getaway vehicle in a bank robbery.
