RE: Internet vulnerability... my take on it (Internet kill switch)

in #internet8 years ago (edited)

I recall the outrage of the Superior Court Judge who told the person to shut off his internet website that was sharing pirated movies.

When the person started to explain he cold not the Judge threatened to throw him in jail for contempt ...

The accused patiently explained the judge could do whatever he liked but with p2p peer to peer direct transfers that would not stop the sharing of copyrighted movies.

I do not recall what the judge decided but he had a hard time understanding the website did not actually handle the sharing of the media files ! ! !

Personally I would have just thrown the guy in jail since I doubt a Judge gets to simply throw people in jail for contempt very often, after all if he was not guilty of Contempt of Court he must have been guilty of some crime somewhere in his long life ; )

Sort:  

A lot of people end of fined or in prison because of people sitting in judgement on things they do not understand.

That is hilarious! They need to start updating the laws so these judges can keep up to speed on technology!

I recall the uproar when the Secretary of the Interior stated she had not used email for over ten years. She said she carrys two phones and human speeches anyone she needs to communicate with ! ! !

Crazy people : )

note I said Secretary of the INTERIOR not Hilary ; )
