I looked it up in ecuadorian law. It's not soft at all.</p> Crime would be trafficking in unauthorized devices with the purpose f defeating technological protections.

"do not pass Go..." funny way to describe it.</p> <p>anyway, as a law student, l would advise you to keep cool, it´s very unlikely that anyone would start a lawsuit against you, and in case they would, they would need a specific crime to claim on you, which they don´t, as our law is very soft and lacks specific "software crimes".</p> hahaha… “do not pass Go…” funny way to describe it.

Now it seems that the basic rights of the human beings are no longer so valuable as they were in the past. In the name of the New American Project - which by the way deals with the life of people as simple statistics - Bush UnGovernment has destroyed the confidence in the system that many people worked hard to build. Nowadays, it's rather more important the growth of the lobbys and multinational firms than the clear, sharp respect for the rights and freedom.</p> And what is more, FLPCGuy is right! for decades the US were the best example of a living, healthy democracy.

I recently read Digg's TOS and it seems that they are entitled (as they indeed proved in your case) to do whatever they want without any particular reason - the final suspension of your account falls within that scope - and without asking anything at all. Is it worth y enough to keep on digging anymore?</p> It seems (at first sight) that there is no flagrant violation to the law.

Bush's America is govt. by and for big money and corporate interests at the expense of that desperate and disappearing Middle Class. The one country in the world where everyone used to have a chance to succeed no longer exists as we knew it. First, they let the Chinese pay off politicians for special treatment, outsourced our jobs, exported our basic and strategic industries, opened our borders to a flood of cheap labor and refused to enforce any law that big business didn't want (like overtime). Now they are devaluing our dollar until it is worthless while corporations keep their money overseas. Personal liberty no longer exists. Gestapo storm troopers can smash down your door, scan your phone calls with computers, and ship you off to Guantanamo Cuba for years without charges or legal recourse. It is time to start over from scratch. My America is long gone.</p> The country I served 12 years in the military for, that educated me and gave me a better life than my parents had, is no longer.
