Military have a fixed income, free legal support, and if you can’t tell the diffrence in rank, officers all have some sort of collage degree that would make them a bad Target for this sort of scam.

And it might open up the litigants or the pursuers of the lawsuits who have the ISP’s to lawsuits themselves. But by them deciding who to or not to sue is opening them up to the defendants lawyers saying in court that the data must not be copyrighted if they don’t care or decided not to go after individuals who downloaded or shared their data.

Congressmen for instance, are immune to prosecution for any crime they commit while trying to get to a vote at congress, which is to say, they are allowed to speed to get to an important vote, or, theoretically, murder someone who tries to one from voting, though that theory has likely not been tested.

Lawyers have other certain types of qualified immunity for statements they make in court, but, that also wouldn’t apply to this case. When it comes to why politicians don’t get sued for copyright infringement, it is not a legal immunity, it is because, as the article points out, they don’t want copyright becoming a real issue. Much better to keep making money quietly.

No matter what happens, I hope protesters stand their ground, even if forced to follow “the rules”. With winter coming, I’d like to see as many brave folks as possible remain on Wall Street and other places without the sleeping bags, tarps, and other equipment necessary for long term occupation, just to snub the mayor and his merry band of jack booted thugs… er, police I mean. When people start getting sick, and possibly even dying from exposure, then perhaps the mayor will have no choice but to rethink his stance. We need to show them we’re literally dead serious, because I guarantee we won’t be taken seriously if we play by the rules of those we’re trying to get through to. Long term protest, in the cold, can be done. Just remember your history if you need inspiration. There are plenty of instances where the brave people of our great civilization have had to rise up against their oppressors to fight no matter the conditions or the risk. Despite the fact that some of the battles happened as far back as four hundred years ago, their sacrifices are still remembered and honored to this day in one way or another. Some even go farther back than that. It is my sincerest hope that the fight of the 99% against the 1% will one day be remembered with the same reverence. It can only happen if we stick to our guns and never back down though, so stand together everyone! We can, and will, change the world together!
