I have a question here. Everyone says that it is Illegal for the govt. to make them log anything... check. But people on here are saying things like "you can't police the internet" etc. But Isn't this completely false (follow me here)?1. All communications travel on lines within the U.S. at some point (obviously if you are all satellite then you may be excused from this) so couldn't they pass laws requiring ISPs to log the traffic (which then you would have to encrypt but they can counter with dropping any encrypted packets so on and so forth)?2. To reinforce this to the ISPs couldn't they (either **AA or FBI/Police/DA) come after them and charge them with crimes (assuming they can "legally prove" that a crime took place on their lines)? It would be kind of like the lawsuits against Youtube for not doing enough to "prevent" people from breaking laws on their services. I would assume that if they are aware that illegal activities are taking place on their infrastructure and they are not actively stopping this then they are accountable.3. As a complete LAST RESORT couldn't the government install an infrastructure that would include a "China-like" "Great Firewall" that they could force (again because your lines are on US soil at some point in time) this upon ALL connections going out and then log everything/drop encrypted packets (obviously they would have provisions so that businesses COULD encrypt traffic and have it transverse the firewalls) to stop/catch people doing this? Obviously this firewall could be used in the reverse to block traffic from the outside etc.Again just some hypothetical questions.Thanks in Advance.

@ Implied : you said that US laws don't apply and that this story is bull s**t..... CHECK YOUR FUKING SOURCES! The company that owns it, Valence Media, is US-based; therefore, it is subject to US law.

if an AMERICAN judge can order something over the internet hosted in another country, how come a SAUDI judge can't do the same thing for every american website showing an uncovered woman's face?

we're nuts, we ban trans-fats, smoking in public/private places, police torture by taser, but ban enforcement of immigration laws with 12 million illegal mexicans, this is just one more nail to making us sheep. screw em. ask for the smoking section (even if you don't smoke), collect your cig butts and dump them on the doorstep of your nazi public establishment (like a hospital) that bans smoking of visitors and employees making them have to cross the street! for a smoke break (an extremely stressful understaffed jobs), get the dvds, uplaod the hell out of the,copy them give them as gifts, do what you can.
