Any bets on who files the first lawsuit?

Wow. Verizon is now claiming that they are like a newspaper and should have editorial control over what travels on their broadband lines. So Verizon is against the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA?

Isn't that statement from Verizon like two years old? At least that's the references I've been seeing.

Yeah definitely looks like I'll never buy a new Lenovo. I'll still probably just buy a used x200 series for a couple hundred or less since its before this bullshit and upgrade it and repair as needed.

A conspiracy theorist would say there are Apple employees infiltrating these competitors and ruining them from the inside.

A normal tech person knows the truth is that they are simply just that incompetent.
