If you search AirBnB for rentals in New York City where you have the whole place to yourself, you'll find thousands of listings for unquestionably illegal rentals. I wonder whether it's legal for AirBnB to do this, and I have mix

In this particular case it is also against the law of NYC, which prohibits short-term rentals like AirBnB.

This guy had a duty to his landlord to abide by his lease. The fact that AirBnB helped him violate his lease does not give him any cause of action. That would be like suing The Pirate Bay because the MPAA sued you for downloading movies t

AirBnB is pretty transparent about how their verification--or rather, the lack thereof--of tenant trustworthiness works. Can you hold Tinder responsible for matching you with someone that then goes on to rob your house?

Users of the Pirate Bay don't have any cause of action against TPB for making it easier to break the law.

Just because you have a valid cause of action doesn't mean it's worth pursuing in court. Will you be able to inexpensively serve the defendant? Will you be able to win? And if you win, will you be able to cost-effectively enfor

He broke the terms of his lease so he could make hundreds of dollars a night. Rental agencies aren't in the business of leasing to people with a record of violating lease agreements.

I don't understand how AirBnB is responsible here. You're obviously taking a risk when you hand over the keys to your apartment to a stranger. This is the same risk that landlords take when they lease the unit in the first place

Journalists can't publish information they don't have. Snowden was trusted with state secrets and he chose which documents he gave to journalists. You're right that he can't control what those journalists do with the d

This is disgusting. Snowden lost any legitimacy he may have had as a whistle-blower when he started exposing the unquestionably legitimate foreign intelligence activities and capabilities of the United States. You have to be naive to thin

The "Tension Strategy" was an allegation made by Italian Communist Party, which was unhappy with the influence of American political ideas in Italy post-WWII. Trying to pass it off as accepted historical fact, as you have done, i

First amendment cases concerning private individuals aren't as common anymore because it's largely settled law. Welcome to America, you have nearly-unlimited freedom of speech. People don't get arrested for political opinions

Freedom of Speech does not exist to further the political ends Mr. Lipsak is sympathetic to. It is the fulfillment in Law of the Free Conscience of Man: that no man should have to answer in shackles for speaking his mind; that for his word

It's not "being screwed". If they didn't do this, they would have to either physically make different cards which would increase the price of both (or lower margins and reinvestment in r&d) OR keep the same hardware and sell it at only

Why wouldn't you be able to fork Mir? The open source licenses used explicitly allow that. Disagree with Canonical on strategy if you want, but spreading FUD about lawsuits is misinformed at best, maliciously dishonest at worst.

Caveat Emptor. Cisco is out to make as much money as they can, they have no duty to save the government money. West Virginia's procurement process was irresponsible and wasteful and now they want to shift the blame to Cisco in order to cov
