    Re:

    I've often wondered if any time a US citizen places a call to a cell phone whose area code corresponds to a different geographical "state" than the one the call originates in, is it then construed as interstate commerce, even if both phones reside in the same geographical state?

    My guess is, yes it is so construed, and it probably has been for some time.

    Interesting. I just read this article over at truth-out:

    Hopefully this ruling will be seen to apply to "photography" and journalistic investigation of factory farms as well.

    Time for the Pirate Party to find a large tract of land and enact a Pirate Country.

    everyone needs drones

    everyone needs drones. I'm a big fan of John Robb's idea for a "Drone Net".

    That said, until the FAA can come up with some sort of identifying marking - or "identify friend or foe" for "friendly" or "law enforcement" drones, I would say it should be well within my rights as a citizen to disable and detain any drone that violates the airspace of my own private property.

    And you know the very first time some activist uses a drone to spy on a factory farm, the corporations will be clamoring for this right.

    I mean what would it really take to knock most non-military drones out of the sky. A few perimeter targetting RADARs or LIDARs and a couple remote aimable tennis ball or baseball training launchers?

    an even handed response to the situation demands parity

    I think Linda Ellis should sue everyone who uses this poem in a eulogy without her express written permission beforehand. All the people commenting on her site about how they were touched by someones reading of The Dash at a funearl eulogy were clearly parties to the violation of Ms. Ellis right to exclusive control over public performances of this poem. Here is the link to the poem on her site, along with the aforementioned comment thread: The Dash Poem by Linda Ellis

    I think any concerned tech dirt commenters should chime in on that thread and let her know about her right, nay, her obligation to sue everyone who publicly recites her poem at a funeral without her express written permission and a payment of the $7500 royalty.
