  1. Re:Taxing only the long-term retention of property by mbius · · Score: 1 · on If IP Is Property, Where Is the Property Tax?

    If Gone With The Wind or Cinderella were not created by their respective authors, then those works are just simply not there at all

    Huh?

    Disney's an outstanding example of source material from the public domain being critical to "new" art. Financial incentives probably help, but they can't explain why the internet produced creative works, or why they still shoot films in countries with a thriving bootleg industry. Exposure is the artist's hurdle to financial sustainability, not being ripped off. In the rare case of commercial idea-stealing, public outcry tends to be swift and career-wrecking. I think it's absurd the Congressional mandate to promote progress now extends to protecting any multinational business's brand image.

    Do you *really* mean mussel memory, or are you going to clam up on me?

  5. Chuck is my hero 'cause he's so big and strong. by retrosteve · · Score: 5, Informative · on That's All Folks: Chuck Jones RIP
    This comes from a Chuck Jones fan who went a little too far. Realizing about 10 years ago that all my favorite cartoons had been written by the same guy, I went and investigated his life. I also bought a few of his more recent signed works (he did amazing cels and giclee' art ).

    Chuck Jones had an excellent wit, which you can experience in his two hilarious and informative biographies, Chuck Amuck and Chuck Reducks . His writing is dry and Mark-Twainish, with personal touches that never get *too* personal.

    His recent work (he was creating Shockwave cartoons of "Thomas Timberwolf" up to this month!) is available linked from his own website.

    Anyway, enough karmawhoring, I am writing this with tears in my eyes. So long and that's all folks to my last American hero.

  6. Myth of the Internet? Myth period. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic · on Thus Spake Tick Creator Ben Edlund
    Ah, women. Women, women, women, women, women, women, women, ha ha ha ha. For you young fellows fresh on the cusp of a blooming manhood, the questions abound. What are women like? What do women want? How should I treat a woman? Perhaps the thorniest problem facing any young man is finding a woman in the first place. It turns out to be...nearly impossible. This reporter spent countless hours searching for a woman, like these pictured here...to no avail. The nearest we came during a tense stakeout was this fellow who experts believe is *not* a woman. We begin to wonder--where are all the women? The overheated references in poetry, the images that dominate our media--is it all an elaborate fraud? This grainy photograph is the only direct evidence we have of a woman in her natural environment. The longer hair, the gentle and nurturing demeanor, are typical of how witnesses describe their supposed encounters with women. This footprint while possibly the work of jokesters, is another piece of the puzzle. Someday, perhaps, an actual woman will emerge and they will no longer exist only in the realm of myth and maybe. Thank you.
