DEA Diversion Control - Consumer Alert - 0 views

  • DEA Warning--Buying drugs online may be illegal and dangerous!
  • Federal law prohibits buying controlled substances such as narcotic pain relievers (e.g., OxyContin®, Vicodin ®), sedatives (e.g., Valium®, Xanax®, Ambien®), stimulants (e.g., phentermine, phendimetrazine, Adderall®, Ritalin®) and anabolic steroids (e.g., Winstrol®, Equipoise®) without a valid prescription from your doctor. This means there must be a real doctor-patient relationship, which by most state laws requires a physical examination. Prescriptions written by "cyber doctors" relying on online questionnaires are not legitimate under the law. Buying controlled substances online without a valid prescription may be punishable by imprisonment under Federal law. Often drugs ordered from rogue websites come from foreign countries. It is a felony to import drugs into the United States and ship to a non-DEA registrant. Buying drugs online may not be only illegal, but dangerous. The American Medical Association and state boards of medicine and pharmacy have all condemned the practice of cyber doctors issuing online prescriptions as unacceptable medical care. Drugs delivered by rogue websites may be the wrong drugs, adulterated or expired, the wrong dosage strength, or have no dosage directions or warnings.

    This site talks about the DEA and it's warnings that the federal law prohibits buying controlled drugs online. Working in the pharmacy, I know that controlled substances are very addictive and this was interesting to see that it is actually a federal law that prohibits it!

    "Sandra Thornton is eager to generate new business for the sewing plant she manages just outside Centerville, Tenn. When the machines at Southeastern Pant are running full tilt, the plant's 55 employees can crank out 2,000 pairs a week for police officers, firefighters, and security guards all over the U.S. Nestled among the rolling, ranch-dotted hills of the central part of the Volunteer State, Thornton's plant has managed to stay open when many clothing companies are sending work overseas, by focusing on custom orders. "All the police agencies want their own stripes, their own pocket sizes," she says. "Our equipment is very easy to change over.""

    People of rural areas will benefit from broadband Internet, becuase it will enable them to connect to millions of other people. Also, store owners and other businesses will thrive with broadband Internet.

    This article looks at two companies that offer original written works for money. You pay them, and they write an essay on the topic you need. They speak with representatives from these companies, and one says that they are only providing sample essays for instructional value. The end of the article also looks at groups who fall into a grey area, asking how much help is too much?

    Looks at a piece of legislation being debated right now that is intended to address piracy. "The bill would give the government legal tools to blacklist a "rogue" website from the Internet's Domain Name System, ban credit card companies from processing US payments to the site, and forbid US-based online ad networks from working with the site. It even directs the government to keep a list of suspect sites, even though no evidence has been presented against them in court."

Software Acquisition Copyright Infringement Digital Piracy

      DRM as listed by Wikipedia: Digital rights management (DRM) is a generic term for access control technologies that can be used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders and individuals to try to impose limitations on the usage of digital content and devices. It is also, sometimes, disparagingly described as Digital Restrictions Management. The term is used to describe any technology which inhibits uses (legitimate or otherwise) of digital content that were not desired or foreseen by the content provider. The term generally doesn't refer to other forms of copy protection which can be circumvented without modifying the file or device, such as serial numbers or keyfiles. It can also refer to restrictions associated with specific instances of digital works or devices.
  • The Great White North is "fast gaining a reputation as a haven where technologically sophisticated international piracy organizations can operate with virtual impunity." The country is "virtually alone" in flouting "minimum world standards" for copyright and its rules are "hopelessly outdated." Finally, "no other country is farther behind the curve in combating copyright infringement in cyberspace."
  • The ability to circumvent DRM in order to make legal uses of the content?

      All Laws are subjective on a country to country basis, it's interesting that the Canadian governemnt doesn't view this type of thing as infringement.
  • It is not at all clear that this is actually the legal position in Canada; back in 2004, judge Konrad von Finckenstein ruled that "the downloading of a song for a person's private use does not constitute infringement." (von Finkenstein is now Canada's top telecoms regulator; his ruling was changed on appeal, though the issue remains murky.)
  • What really chaps the collective hide of the copyright groups is BitTorrent trackers, though, and the IIPA document refers multiple times to the fact that "4 of the top 10 illicit BitTorrent sites in the world" are in Canada.

    Useful for anyone interested in digital piracy/acquisition and legal steps to limit copyright infringement on multiple formats.

      Scams like this get people all the time!! I see this almost on a daily basis at work..
  • The next day I received an email from the man telling me his secretary had made a mistake and had written the check for $4500 instead of $450. This is when the alarm bells started going off in my head. When the man told me he wanted me to cash the check and send him the balance via Western Union, I knew something was up. I had recalled all those scam emails I'd received in the past with similar scenarios involving Western Union and money transfers and got quite suspicious.

    Finland passes law that says that Finland is a LEGAL RIGHT and NOT a privilege. Grants 1 MB/sec to each and every citizen. Article states "Most of us can no longer perform our work duties, do homework or communicate with friends without having access to the Internet" and "People need broadband connections to live normal lives, as Finland is the first nation to acknowledge".

    Article discusses RIAA's new approach to curbing the downloading portion of file sharing. RIAA is working with ISP's to have them slow down the internet connections of people who are downloading music illegally. Does not mention anything about doing the same for people who are sharing though. The sharers are still being sued.

    This article relates to class discussions on social media and the classroom. It was in yesterday's Wall Street Journal's Personal Journal section. Major corporations are turning to universities and colleges to reach a younger, tech saavy generation to market their products. Instructors are anxious to work with these companies to let their students gain experience and knowledge of marketing with the new technologies.

    Wow - great to see a new online program EXCEED its initial enrollment goals! This model is worth keeping an eye on.
  • Peter Cali on 07 Oct 09
     
    It is growing! I saw a commercial a couple of years ago that really struck me. It depicted two kids in a very modern home in Japan with their mother mulling about doing house work. Instead of playing video games on the large flatscreen on the wall, they were engaged in a math course talking to the teacher in real time. I have to believe that it is very real model that will evolve and succeed as it is at USC. Great article, thanks!
