"Violators will be forced to watch 100 hours of Lawrence Welk."
That's a punishment? I watch it every week -- for enjoyment. Rock would be
punishment, with its distorted instruments and distorted voices.

Let it be known that any violators shall be forced to read
every word ever written by Florrian Mueller for 100 hours,
and then will be required to recite it from memory, in it's
entirety. Any mistakes will require another 100 hours, and
will repeat until they recite it perfectly.

Major announcements from the US and Canada today give a clear
indication that the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is coming back
with a vengeance.
ACTA is an agreement negotiated and signed by 11
countries, carrying intellectual property (IP) provisions that would negatively
impact digital rights and innovation by ratcheting up IP enforcement measures
beyond existing international standards. It will not take effect until six
countries ratify the agreement, and Japan is so far the only country to have
done so.
The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) posted
its 2013 Trade Policy Agenda and 2012 Trade Policy Report, which covers all of
its ongoing negotiations over trade agreements. It reports that the US is
working with Japan and other negotiating parties “to ensure that ACTA can come
into force as soon as possible,” and encourages Canada “to meet its [ACTA]
obligations.”
Canada did not miss a beat to satisfy this
demand.

To be brutally frank, Samsung's "innovation culture" is mostly
about following trends
rather than acting as a "first mover", in your humble
writer's
opinion
The Register
The article hints that Samsung will have to start
copying Huawei if it
wants to stay with the front runners. If you're worried
they'll copy the Chinese
backdoors too, then try
this kitchen and
bathroom
model.

When combined with a closed secretive pseudo process and the higher interest
in protecting the institution things go from bad to worse.
Last
month, former University of North Carolina assistant dean of students Melinda
Manning, three students and one former student filed a complaint with the U.S.
Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights on behalf of themselves and 64
other unnamed sexual assault survivors, alleging that university officials
pressured Manning into underreporting cases and violated the Campus Sexual
Assault Victims' Bill of Rights, the Clery Act and the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act (FERPA), and equal opportunity mandates under Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Now sophomore Landen
Gambill, one of the students named in the case, says she's being punished by the
Office of Student Conduct for "intimidating" her rapist by speaking to the press
about her sexual assault.

Prenda Law has commenced three defamation, libel and conspiracy suits against
the same people: defence lawyers, defendants and all the blogger and
commentators at "Die Troll Die" and "Fight Copyright
Trolls". The suits, in different state courts, each attempt to identify
anyone who has criticized Prenda, fine them $200,000 each for stating their
opinions, and prohibit them from ever criticizing Prenda again. [from Slashdot][ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Keeping in mind that a military court never went after the
NYT...
Summary:
Harvard law professor Yochai Benkler
says that WikiLeaks clearly qualifies as a media entity, and argues that by
pursuing Bradley Manning for aiding the enemy, the government is putting
journalism at risk as well as whistle-blowing.
[...]
The First Amendment
would seem to protect the NYT in a case like this, and I’ve argued before that
it should protect WikiLeaks as well — an argument that former Times‘
executive editor Bill Keller has said he agrees with. But the U.S. government continues to
pursue WikiLeaks for its role in publicizing the documents that Manning leaked,
and some U.S. legislators have mused aloud about whether espionage charges could be laid against other media entities like the New York
Times as well.
