How Microsoft Convinced Clueless Judges To Send A Man To Jail For Copying Software It Gives Out For Free

from the fucking-microsoft dept This story should make you very, very angry. Last month we had the basic story of how Microsoft had helped to get a computer recycler sentenced to 15 months in jail for "counterfeiting" software that it gives away for free, and which is useless unless you have an official paid-for license from Microsoft. Let me repeat that: Microsoft helped put someone in jail for criminal infringement over software that anyone can get for free (here, go get it), and which won't function unless you've paid Microsoft their due. At issue are Windows recovery discs. Way back when, these were the discs that usually shipped with new computers in case you ...
Even Liberal Media Confesses: Maxine Waters’ Hypocrisy is “Cringe-Worthy”

When a liberal politician like Rep. Maxine Waters can draw condemnation from the liberal media, like, whoa, you know she stepped in it. Not only is Waters a progressive, she’s a BLACK, FEMALE progressive, which puts her on such hallowed ground that we’re shocked that anyone at the Washington Post dared to take a swipe at her. Not only is she a BLACK, FEMALE Democrat, but she’s someone who has never had one good thing to say about Donald Trump. That doesn’t just put her above criticism in liberal circles, it makes her a kind of living deity. This is a woman that is so cherished by the leftist media that when Trump had the audacity to question her IQ (a fair and ...

London Mayor said he will see an 'open and diverse city' that has 'chosen hope over fear' if he comes to the capital during July visit SADIQ Khan has taken another swipe at his arch enemy Donald Trump, saying Brits will be sure to exercise their "free speech" by protesting if he comes to the capital. The trip will take place on Friday the 13th - after Mr Trump stops off in Brussels for a summit of Nato leaders. But Mr Khan - who has clashed repeatedly with him on several occasions - issued a thinly vieled warning that he will face angry protesters if he comes to London. The Mayor tweeted: "If he comes to London, President Trump will experience an open ...

The Intercept has published a secretly taped audio recording of one of the most powerful Democrats in America pressuring a progressive candidate to drop out of a Colorado congressional primary race. It hasn’t been getting as much attention as the WikiLeaks drops on the DNC’s sabotage of the Sanders campaign because it’s not about a presidential race, but make no mistake: this is the single most damning piece of evidence ever published exposing the Democratic Party’s war on progressives.The recording features House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, the second-highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, informing primary challenger Levi Tillemann that if he ...

There has still been no retraction or correction of The Guardian‘s demonstrably false and completely indefensible claim that two normal antiwar Twitter accounts were controlled not by real people but by bot programs based in Russia.This is the sort of environment that has been created by the ongoing Russia panic that is plaguing the western world: one wherein mainstream news outlets can openly lie about dissenting voices and antiwar activists, refuse to retract or apologize for those lies, and suffer no consequences.And yet they still have the gall to paint anyone who expresses doubt about the narratives they advance about Russia and Syria as crazy, kooky conspiracy theorists.

Trump Withholds JFK Files, Again

Historians will have to wait another three years, and maybe longer, before they can get their hands on the rest of the government's assassination documents.On Thursday Donald Trump decided to shield thousands of files about the JFK assassination from full public scrutiny. If that sounds familiar, it's because the same thing happened last October. The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 instructed Washington to declassify everything by October 26, 2017, but it also allowed the president to withhold documents on national security grounds. At the last minute, Trump bowed to pressure from the intelligence community and kept more than 368,000 pages under lock and ...

ENCINITAS, Calif. (KGTV) - No dancing allowed. It sounds a little like the movie “Footloose,” right? Well, it’s real and it’s the law in the city of Encinitas. “We got in trouble for people dancing here,” said Brie Cardosa, owner of Mr. Peabody’s Bar and Grill. The restaurant was fined $3,000 for allowing their patrons to dance while listening to live music. Cardosa's restaurant has been providing food and live music for more than a decade. She said they have never had any run-ins with the law, until they were recently fined by the Alcohol Beverage Control. “We didn’t realize we were doing anything wrong,” Cardosa ...

A 14-year-old boy from Barrington, Rhode Island, has been charged with distributing child pornography after he shared inappropriate pictures of a 13-year-old female classmate with friends. The girl has also been charged—albeit with the lesser crime of disseminating indecent material. The two teens swapped nude photos of themselves using Snapchat, according to eastbayRI.com. The boy then saved the images, showed his friends, and even created a fake Snapchat account in the girl's name. One of the girl's classmates saw the account and alerted authorities at Barrington High School, including School Resource Officer Josh Melo. Earlier this month, the police charged the boy with ...

HILLARY’S MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME

Why is the media ignoring the DNC’s new $84 million campaign finance scandal? While it obsesses over an aging porn star, Russians, discredited ex-FBI officials, and pimple-faced gun-grabbers, the mainstream media has been ignoring an explosive federal lawsuit unearthing a huge illegal money- laundering conspiracy said to have been masterminded last election cycle by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign. It is yet another facet of the plot by which Clinton, possibly in league with then-President Obama, broke the law in an attempt to rig the election. Throughout his agonizingly long presidency, Obama serially abused his powers as the nation's Chief ...

ormer Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) lambasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and Republicans for having "decimated" balance in the federal government. Reid, who served as the top Democrat in the U.S. Senate between 2005-2015, compared Republicans in Congress to the "limpest waffle you've ever seen" and claimed they've done "everything they can" to weaken the checks and balances Congress and the judiciary have over the president, according to an interview conducted by NBC's Heidi Przybyla.

How a uniquely punitive city impound program combined with the drug war and asset forfeiture to deprive people of their vehicles for years at a time. On June 21, 2016, Chicago police pulled Spencer Byrd over for a broken turn signal. Byrd says his signal wasn't broken, but that detail would soon be the least of his worries. Ever since, Byrd has been trapped in one of the city's most confusing bureaucratic mazes, deprived of his car and his ability to work. He now owes the city thousands of dollars for the pleasure.

All Muslim nations should stand united against America and other enemies," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said.

The mystery of the abrupt about-face in Pyongyang may have its answer deep beneath Mount Mantap. After years of belligerent threats to conduct nuclear tests until North Korea had weapons that could reliably hit the entire United States, Kim Jong-un suddenly reversed himself last week and declared an end to nuclear testing. The regime called further tests “unnecessary,” and suddenly began pursuing engagement with South Korea and the US rather than trading threats. What changed? According to two studies authored by Chinese scientists reported by the Wall Street Journal, the North Korean nuclear weapons may have been too effective. Seismic activity and a sudden height change ...

TIJUANA, Mexico, April 25 (Reuters) - Hundreds of Central American migrants from a caravan that crossed Mexico reunited in Tijuana on Wednesday and planned to cross the border together this weekend in defiance of threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to repel them. The timing of the migrants arrival could compromise a flurry of talks this week to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which Trump has repeatedly threatened to scrap if Mexico does not crack down on the flow of Central Americans through its territory. Busloads of migrants began arriving on Tuesday at a shelter that was a five minute-walk from the border and within sight of a U.S. flag waving under an ...

In the days and weeks after President Donald Trump slapped 25 percent tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, it was widely reported that American steel-consuming companies were bracing for higher prices. Some said they were already seeing those higher prices reflected in contracts to purchase steel from suppliers, but no one was sure how significant those price increases would turn out to be. Now, a little more than six weeks since the tariff announcement, we have a better picture of the consequences of Trump's trade policy. It looks like this: SteelBenchmarker This chart—published by SteelBenchmarker, a firm that tracks the price of the commodity across different ...

This month, the Lawyers’ Committee for 9-11 Inquiry, a group representing families of the 9/11 victims, filed a petition with the U. S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to push for an investigation into the crimes of 9/11. The committee states that they have “conclusive” evidence that explosives were planted and detonated in the trade center buildings, and that this is the actual reason for the collapse of the towers. According to the 52-page petition, which is accompanied by 57 exhibits, federal statute requires the U.S. Department of Justice to review the evidence with a special grand jury.

Are Cop-Assisted Promposals Charming or Alarming?

Stopping drivers without a legal justification is unconstitutional, even in the name of young love.After a police officer pulls over a teenaged girl without any legal justification and frightens her to the verge of tears, the local press portrays the incident as charming rather than alarming. You know what that means: Prom season is upon us. The cop-assisted promposal, in which police help a teenager carry out a prank that ends with an invitation to the big dance, has become a familiar springtime ritual, documented in online videos and feel-good newspaper stories. But beneath the warm and fuzzy images of adolescent couples lurks a disturbing willingness to tolerate abuses of power by ...

Despite the imposition of unprecedented sanctions against Russia by the Trump administration and Congress over the past year, President Vladimir Putin only seems more intent on causing grievous harm to international peace and stability. Alongside increased financial sanctions against Mr. Putin and his cronies, there is another arrow in the American quiver that would add diplomatic pressure against Russia: The State Department should consider adding the country to its list of state sponsors of terrorism, alongside its close allies Iran and Syria.

7 Forces Driving America Toward Civil War

I was interviewed by a mainstream media reporter yesterday. I thought he wanted to talk tech issues, but we actually spent almost the entire conversation discussing the feeling that many conservatives have that America has gone off the tracks and is headed toward dissolution or alternately, a civil war one day. Obviously, this would be a terrible thing and ironically, twenty years ago, it would have been laughable. Today, the joke isn’t so funny because we are a deeply unhealthy society with a dysfunctional government and for all our money, success and storied history, we seem to be on an increasingly dangerous trajectory. 1) A Post-Constitutional Era: Liberals don’t believe ...

An eerie bit of news has graced Friday's 4/20 celebrations across America. (“Four twenty” is code for smoking marijuana, making the day 4/20 special in cannabis culture.) On Thursday, the FDA, notorious for approving fatal opioids and other drugs – and attacking plants and homeopathics – bestowed its blessing on a new epilepsy drug that contains actual plant-based cannabidiol (CBD). That is to say an FDA advisory committee made the recommendation for approval of Epidiolex – the first marijuana-derived drug to get such a green light. Epidiolex is “a breakthrough in the field of epilepsy,” said Justin Gover, CEO of GW Pharmaceuticals PLC, the UK-based ...

On Friday, Kashuv – who does not prescribe to the anti-gun rhetoric of his fellow anti-Second Amendment #NeverAgain peers – wrote he was learning to fire a gun for the first time.

“The greatest evil is not now done … in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.” ― C.S.
