    This is another reason why I joined the US Pirate Party. The laws need to be reformed and the DMCA needs to be replaced with a more sensible, consumer friendly version. I'm simply sick of being told what I can and what I can't do with my legally purchased media, as long and I don't like that trying to make it into a rent style system.

    We need to form together to help change these laws. I believe joining the Pirate Party may be a start to this. Boycotting also works effectively, but only if enough people do it. Raising awareness of these issues is also a very good thing to do as many people simply aren't aware that it happening until it is too late. Even just trying to talk to your representatives may help things as most of th time they aren't even aware of these types of issues or if they don't listen, then vote for someone else next time. If we can get enough people to realize what is really occuring, then change can happen.

    Perhaps you already know this, but in case you don't, there actually is a Pirate Party.

  4. That should be the job of trademark law by tepples · · Score: 1 · on Cutting out the Naughty Bits Ruled Illegal
    If an issue foremost in the mind of many artists is that any work they produce will end up being butchered, and they will end associated with that butchered work, then how is that not a disincentive to produce new works?

    I have emphasized your misconception. Trademark law already does a decent job of associating products to their respective origins. In the hypothetical piratopia, "not sponsored or endorsed by the original author" is enough to disclaim all association between an author and a bowdlerized work.

  5. Hell if I know, I sent my rep a "screw you" note. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Slashback: Disney Copyright, Alaa Freed, Kelo Repealed

    > Are Republicans for or against regulation? The answer is "yes." Regulation is a bad thing, if their current "donors" say so. It's also a good thing, for the very same reasons.

    I honestly don't know any more. At one time, I agreed with them about what I thought to be the most important issues, but now all I see is them selling me up the river to telecom bastards. I've registered as a Republican since I was first able to vote, and I've never failed to vote for *anything* no matter how minor the office.

    For whatever it's worth, I sent my representative a SCREW YOU! type note explaining that I wasn't going to stand for this. In the mean time, I think I'll consider myself a Pirate Party member at heart and vote for whoever I think is best able to undermine the bastards currently screwing me over.

    They're forming a Pirate Party in the USA. Of course, it's still pretty new and Slashdot didn't accept my article on it, but... let's keel haul the blaggards!
