There is a move afoot in Massachusetts Tramadol alternative, to -- well, it's hard to tell from the early reports what exactly the legislation would do. Perhaps to punish people who abuse the elderly and the disabled; perhaps to ban pornography involving the elderly and the disabled. Who knew. I certainly didn't, Vermont VT Vt., but an accompanying sidebar in the Herald reports that 20% or more of Japanese porn involves the elderly, and says … well, I will just quote the headline: "'Wheelchair vamp dwarf' porn is big business online."

The problem is the casualness with which the officials quoted -- one District Attorney, one a state representative -- are ready to lump these forms of pornography in with child pornography. "Kind of a no-brainer, order tramadol no rx," says the state rep. Maybe a law is needed here somewhere, but please DO try to use your brain, tramadol alternative. Child pornography has extremely serious penalties, and is illegal to possess, West Virginia WV W.Va., on the logic that a child can never be a willing participant in the creation of the pornographic material -- something plainly not true for the elderly and the disabled. (If child pornography is purely synthetic, so no children were abused to produce it, it may actually be legal. Unless it's obscene, bestill tramadol online, the problem with child pornography is not with adults seeing it, it's with what had to be done to produce it.) Frankly, I doubt that any more laws are warranted. Acquistare online tramadol, Harvey Silverglate has it right: “It seems to be the latest in a long effort to broaden the definition of obscenity. Tramadol alternative, We’ve already got (laws) against coercion. Why is that not adequate?”

Certainly the morals police are at work in Pennsylvania, where schools are seizing cell phones, looking for naughty photos on them, and then coercing the students depicted in those photos into re-education camps about sexual evils, ordering tramadol from canada. Some students are fighting back: Students Sue Prosector in Cellphone Photos Case. These students are taking some risks, because of the severity of child pornography laws; like defendants in copyright cases, Buy tramadol delivery, there is an overwhelming incentive to accept whatever deal is offered rather than go to trial, even if -- as this story claims -- the photos are in some cases nothing worse than a couple of girls at a slumber party, shown from the waist up, wearing bras. (Ah, Minnesota MN Minn., says the prosecutor, but he, at least, Tramadol uk, found the photos "provocative.")

And do we really think it should be part of the schools' job in "protecting" its students to go through everything on their cell phones. Of course, that is nothing less than any U, tramadol alternative. S. border guard could do, under orders issued by the Department of Homeland Security under the Bush administration. (How about repealing that one, free tramadol trial without prescription, Mr. Obama?) Is this the way of life we want our children to grow up accepting as normal -- even as good.

We reported for the first time back in October Propecia prices, on the case of RIAA v. Tenenbaum. Propecia online cheap, The Recording Industries have taken one Joel Tenenbaum to task for downloading a few songs while he was a BU student, and Mr. Tenenbaum wants a trial, propecia without prescription. He is being defended by Prof. Charles Nesson of Harvard Law School, propecia prices. Order propecia no prescription, Prof. Nesson has challenged the very constitutionality of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, on basis that the statutory penalties are so disproportionate to the actual damages that the law functions as a criminal statute even though it is a civil statute, order propecia vancouver canada. That the DMCA is (for the most part) a civil statute has many consequences -- the standard of proof is lower, Where to buy cheap propecia, and the defendant has no right to public defender, for example. The result is that defendants in copyright cases almost never contest; instead they settle up with the RIAA out of court, Utah UT. Propecia prices, There has been some suspense over whether the Obama administration's Justice Department would enter into this controversy. On the one hand, Herbal propecia, the new administration prides itself on being the friend of the little guy. On the other hand, both the Vice President and several senior members of the Justice Department have reputations as friends of the copyright industry, αγοράσετε propecia έκπτωση.

Today we have our answer: the Justice Department has indeed entered the argument, Jotta propecia verkossa, and sides unequivocally with the Recording Industries. The DOJ brief (pdf, 31 pages) urges the judge not to deal with the constitutional question if she can avoid it, buy cheap propecia, and then dismisses every constitutional argument put forward by the defense. According to this summary by Recording Industry vs, propecia prices. the People, the Justice Department memo makes no response to the arguments put forward by the Free Software Foundation in support of Tenenbaum's case -- citing various cases and authorities to the effect that the statutory damages set by the DMCA are unconscionably high.

It's a disappointment -- the DMCA is bad law, as we detail in Chapter 6, and we might have hoped for better from the new administration. But previous Justice Departments had sided with the Recording Industries, so perhaps this should have come as no surprise -- even with the enlightened Elena Kagan as the government's top lawyer.

The decision matches a standard set in 2002 by a New Jersey court, and seems to be part of a pattern in which courts are giving great deference to the right to anonymous speech on the Web.

The abominably misnamed "Fairness Doctrine" seems to be gathering steam Generic viagra, for reinstatement. I have no political axe to grind here; I'm an information free-marketeer.

Lowest price propecia, Because the Internet is like so many different technologies in different ways, it incites a variety of anxieties, and a corresponding variety of responses. Order propecia without prescription, Governments' responses are often poorly thought out over-reactions -- poorly thought out and little discussed. The past week's news gives two astounding examples, ordering propecia online legally. Ordering propecia from canada, In India, a law innocuously called the Information Technology (Amendment) Bill 2006" allows the government to intercept any form of electronic communications -- email, Um propecia online, Propecia brand, text messages, or cell phone conversations -- in order to investigate "any offence."

Meanwhile, the Times of London reports:

THE Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain routinely to hack into people’s personal computers without a warrant.

Now it's not clear what that actually means (are the police going start sending malware via email, just like the bad guys do to steal your account information and passwords?). But the trend is unmistakable: Even in major democracies, law enforcement so fears what people are saying over the Internet that it wants complete access to all of them, with only the cops deciding whether the surveillance and searches are justified.

The price is too high for such measures to be adopted without public discussion. In the U.S., let's hope for better.
