Forgive me, but I have to make fun of you now: You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You may NOT decrypt signals that come into your home (by law)...

Learn to read: I said that such laws are not vaid; I never said they don't exist or aren't enforced. There are many immoral laws. Among them are laws stating that energy beamed into my home without my permission is nevertheless protected from my interception.

You are wrong - technically, legally, and morally on most everything you've commented on in this thread.

I defy you to produce an example of a technical or moral error. As for legality, I'm not really discussing that aspect of the issue. Current US laws are not moral, and I'm not too interested in them as they are today. I'm discussing them as they should be. I'd have thought that was clear, since the foundation of the entire thread is the reality that the FCC regulates something that should be privatized.

I tend to be somewhat libertarian myself, but in your case, you are certainly pissing against a strong headwind.

A law is valid as long as it is enforced and allowed to be enforced - what other useful measure can you use?


"I defy you to produce an example of a technical or moral error"

Friend, it's not me you defy, it's The Laws of Physics. Maybe you think they are immoral, too, but they are no less real than the other laws you feel are not valid.

But some people are more libertarian than others......
