Court blocks $1 billion copyright ruling that punished ISP for its users’ piracy::“Cox did not profit from its subscribers’ acts of infringement,” judges rule.

You know, I saw a guy the other day with an honest to goodness eyepatch. First time I’ve ever seen one in the wild.

Guy looked like older Snake from Metal Gear Solid, but clearly wasn’t cosplaying or anything like that. I assume most people with one eye just get a fake one here. If only to avoid all the pirate jokes that he probably gets.

Wouldn’t this be equal to suing Ford for making the get away car?

Maybe closer to cars not having limiters to prevent speeding.

They could. The tech exists. Even to lock it to specific speed limits (not just an upwards cap) using GPS.

But most would say that’s overreaching. Until an insurance company sues/lobbies for it because it would improve their bottom line to force drivers to drive more responsibly by legally pushing the manufacturers to add limiters.
