Music-industry lawyers plan to ask potential jurors in a piracy case whether they read Ars Technica.
"Have you ever read or visited Ars Technica or TorrentFreak?" is one of 40 voir dire questions that plaintiffs propose to ask prospective jurors in their case against Grande Communications, an Internet service provider accused of aiding its customers' piracy, according to a court filing on Friday.
[...] Record-label attorneys also want to ask potential jurors if they "know what a peer-to-peer network is," have "ever downloaded content from any BitTorrent website" such as The Pirate Bay and KickassTorrents, obtained music or video from "any stream-ripping service," been "accused of infringing a copyright," or "ever been a member, contributor or supporter of the Electronic Frontier Foundation."
The full list of questions by each party were made available by TorrentFreak as pdfs:
Have you now, or ever been, a member of the Pirate Party?

There should be some level of commitment required by both parties in a contract.
If I walk down a crowded street with a EULA on a sandwich board, declaring that anyone who reads my sign agrees to tithe to the church of the apocalypse and that breach shall be settled out of court for treble damages... is it any more binding if they shake my hand?
Similarly, when buying a ticket to see a movie, after the ticket price is paid and the customer has been seated in the theater, what if similar contracts appear on the screen, how binding are they?
AT&T pulled this kind of shit with their long distance calling card, about two years after I told them to get stuffed, they can stay stuffed.
