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?

Let me guess - you're a Libertarian? Certainly not a True Americantm(A government for the people, by the people)...
Why should the general population agree to a set of laws that they have no say in? That's serfdom. Tried before - didn't work out so well.
Also, the people that you claim to 'have their shit together' are often just Robber Barons who fuck everyone over for their own gain. Think GFC bankers, Purdue Pharma, Private Prison owners who buy new laws to keep their prisons full, etc. They don't care one whit for the future of the country - they care only for themselves. See: Monsanto/Bayer, Exxon, every single elected official who is wilfully ignoring the need to take action against climate change.
