Because utilities are what are called natural monopolies. It doesn't make sense and wouldn't be practical for two water companies to serve your house. The solution is you don't get a choice but the company is subject to tight regulations.

Unfortunately the FCC is nothing but a joke. Every FCC commissioner is guaranteed a job with the companies they "regulate."

I see your point. Either they're services engaged in illegal behavior or they're utilities and the voters have a say in their operations. They cannot continue to get the best of both worlds.

Presumably one hateful guy was the ringleader and the young guys were basically doing what he said because the consequences were terrifying? They could have helped set them free but facing the wrath of some terrorist organization I'm exchange for helping some randos wasn't a good idea. That would make sense to me.

There are only two candidates that I feel are motivated by a call to service and the love of their country: Sanders and Paul. I disagree with both of them on some policy matters but I believe they are both earnestly interested in doing their best to lead the nation. Everyone else? Just selfish, arrogant sorts who are only interested in the power and benefits that the office has to offer.

Okay, did you not read the language presented? I suspect not. Please do so.

Now, on to the matter of Aaron and the charges against him. The short version is this: the charges brought against Aaron were based on a ridiculous interpretation of the law whereby violation of terms of use constitutes felony unauthorized access. Cameron Oritz believes that if you violate the terms of use of a website or service, you are a criminal hacker and should be imprisoned for fifty years. So if you've ever provided a false name when registering, used profanity online where its prohibited, or cheated in an online game, the law as it stands allows you to be prosecuted for felony offenses.

Aaron's Law would narrow the definition of unauthorized access to make it only apply to actual criminal behavior. Honestly, if you truly had any interest in the case, you would have known this already.
