True.
I will continue to download music and be even more brazen about it partly due to this ruling.

And by the way, I agree with it.
Then I suspect you don't completely understand the ramifications of the decision.
The USSC has just decried that developers and users of inanimate objects AKA TECHNOLOGY can be sued. Maybe you can understand a simpler example, SUING GUN MANUFACTURERS when a brand of gun is used to break the law or SUING CAR MAKERS when a brand of car used illegally.
Still cheerleading now ?

Let's see. New technologies created automated machinery that took away MY job, funny the courts did not see fit to let me sue for lost wages. Also, along the same lines, that job was a machinist and I made parts for aircraft/automotive. So every time that a plane or auto is sold/resold with parts that I made I should get a piece of the pie or I can take it to court, right?. Where's my lawyer?
There is nothing "supreme" about this court.

But it all falls on a single word: Intent. Just who the hell defines intent? That's the question you should be asking. That's the reason you should be afraid.

Yep. They don't even meet Betamax standards.
How pathetic. And yet the GOP sits on its hands. The President grins.

Bump to that.
If you have to be a top law school graduate to think like these people do, we should close up the law schools. Based upon what I saw at a recent law school graduation, that is a fine idea generally.

That is an issue of this ruling. Intent is my only concern and thank you for bringing that up. "Intent" will be perverted to mean anything a prosecutor looking for fame or fortune needs.
To: UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide
No, this court is classical fascist. Look it up.
The word 'fascist' has been so wrongly used by leftists that it is cliche to use it.

(sarcasm) Yes, like all drug users intend to sell drugs.
Like all guns owners intend to commit murder.
Like all taxpayers intend to cheat on their taxes.(sarcasm end)
If government treats citizens like they are born criminials, then citizens will consider government to be filled with nothing more but tyrannts.

Definately. Trust is good even if not perfect. Kinda like enforcing our current immigration laws. They would have enough impact to reduce illegal immigration to trickle, a trickle that is tolerable. It would never be perfect, but even a totalitarian state would not completely prevent illegal immigration.

Without trust both ways from the citizens and the government there is war/revolution.
