Subpeona Stewart and Colbert? Oh, come on.

i don't think the youtube article says what you say it does. although colbert has been accused a few times of ripping things off from the internet, that's not what this article is about. maybe there is another article that ties the two together?

[3] You are absolutely correct. This lawsuit is about Viacom-owned tv programs being re-transmitted over YouTube. Calling Stewart and Colbert to testify, however, seems like a huge publicity stunt.

Stupid for sending the computer for repair then getting caught with the child porn on the hard drive. DUHHHH!

yep stupid for giving the PC to a best buy or whatever traitor store. go to your local muslim owned place not a traitor snitch store.
at least with your local repair shop you can go back and get reparations. make sure you tell your subordinates where you sent your PC so they know who to go to when you're in the clink.

while dont agree with the dude having kiddie porn..what the fuck is some tech at best buy doing snooping around on his computer? how is that not illegal?
