trinityvixenOh my. Oh, oh, oh, this made me splutter at work. Um, it's probably not safe for anyone's work but mine, where, because I laughed out loud, I then got to show it around to my other coworkers. Who laughed, probably mostly at me for finding this so funny. But it was.
Ooh, look what's coming to Netflix! I was kindly given the X-Men cartoon on DVD at Christmas, but I'd be so interested to watch the old Spider-Man cartoon (from the 1990s, not the old-old one from the 1960s). I bet it is even worse than I remember it.
In a stunning bit of thinking, a judge rules that people are not their IP addresses. Or vice-versa, whichever. This is still of the good. I'm all for stopping the kiddie porn watchers, but I still believe you should have to do a liiiiittle more actual investigation than assuming that because something was downloaded to a given IP address that it must be the person residing at that address' fault. People are far too lazy about securing their wireless or patrolling their friends'/roommates' habits. Use the IP link to start a proper investigation, fine. Use it to smear someone FOREVER with a link to kiddie porn? Not so much.

Date: 2011-05-06 01:17 am (UTC)Netflix is clearly in cahoots with the studios and offering to screen their material on their service firstly to generate revenue for them, but secondly, and more importantly, to determine, based on numbers of watches, whether there's a market for the product outside the streaming. I swear that's why they have things on streaming that aren't on DVD. I have hope for Rocko yet!
