• On the post: Why Do So Many People Describe Aereo 'Complying' With Copyright Law As The Company 'Circumventing' Copyright Law?

  Broadcasters exclusive have access to spectrum, in turn they freely broadcast their content.
  Cable Companies exclusive have access to right of way, in turn they pay retransmit fees to broadcasters.
  
  Aereo has neither of these advantages. So why should they have to play by the old rules?

  I'm not surprised the Holy See is full of freetards. They haven't even bothered to copyright the Bible.

  national security doesn't need protecting that is the problem

  The government and the police have a duty to protect the public and our national security

  
  What does it mean to 'protect national security'? National security is what does the protection, not the object of protection.
  
  This is the dangerous mindset, when your security apparatus goals become to protect itself. Anything counter to its views can then be seen as a legitimate threat, that justify any number of actions.

  Connect the dots to create a terrorist

  How much of this dot connection effort is put toward preventing terrorism, and how much of this dot effort is put to finding future suspects for the FBI's fake terror plots? How many of the '50' PRISM prevented terrorist plots were real and how many were cooked up by the FBI?

• On the post: FBI 'Stops' Yet Another Of Its Own Terrorist Threats

  

  johnjac ( profile ), 09 Feb, 2013 @ 07:39am

  Crime vs Intelligence goals

  In the new book, "The Org" by Ray Fisman and Tim Sullivan, they talk about how pre 9/11 the FBI had clear and measurable goals and objectives. Catch bad guys, and assit DOJ in winning cases.
  
  Post 9/11 domestic intelligence became their #1 objective. The problem becomes how do you measure and reward staff for doing well at intelligence gathering? Compounding this was
  *everyone in the agency has been hired and promoted based on their crime fighting skills not intelligence gathering skills
  * because crime is mostly regional, offices are NOT used to working together
  
  The book doesn't talk about these fake plots, but I'm going to imagine that this is what crime fighters do to make it look like they are doing the work of domestic intelligence.

  effect in the US

  If the EU doesn't sign, what effect will this have in the US? Are there a certain number of signatures required for ACTA to take affect?
  
  I mean as much effect as a 'executive agreement, we swear this doesn't require change is US law' can have an effect.
