The Netflix CEO calls out Comcast on net neutrality; reading all the privacy policies you agree to in a year would take a month; and the Internet’s biggest dirtbag took his site off the web. Also, should Justin found his own sovereign nation in the mountains of Montana? And if he does, should it be called “The Justin Republic of Awesome” or the much less cool “Justopia”? All this and more in episode 17 of Technophilia: The Justin Republic of Awesome.

Each week, three of MakeUseOf’s writers virtually get together to talk about the latest technology news and what they’ve been up to. We have a lot of fun doing this, because we usually don’t get a chance to talk to each other out loud – we live thousands of miles away from each other. We record our conversations and share them with the world – that’s what Technophilia is all about. It’s not officially part of MakeUseOf, but it’s an entertaining way to keep up with technology news.

This week: James uses we7.com to listen to music, and the owner is apparently one of his drinking buddies. Justin lets you know how to make an em (—) or en (–) dashes on your computer, whatever operating system you use. He also thinks you should be watching a show by ze frank. And Dave talks about the social radio app Soundrop, which drives Justin to drink.

And, as always, the headlines:

• Netflix CEO calls out comcast on net neutrality. James thinks he’s complaining about a free service; Justin and Dave think James doesn’t know what net neutrality is.
• The technology behind TuPac’s resurrection is old school: it dates back to the 1800′s. James says that’s not technically correct; Dave would totally go to a hologram TuPac concert.
• Reading all the privacy policies you agree to would take a month. James never reads any, because he assumes he has no privacy.
• Australian Court: ISPs not responsible for stopping piracy
• Hunter Moore, Scumbag of the Internet, takes down his site. We’re all thankful, especially after hearing this interview from December.
• Good Guy Of The Internet Does AMA. Yishan Wong had this to say about using ads to make money online: “If you have a million people living in a city, no one says, ‘Hey, we have two million eyeballs, let’s monetize by plastering every city surface with ads!’”
