See, Saddam did it - he was way ahead of his time!

What do you mean you've never heard of pen missile?

That's OK. I'm pretty sure I could take him out with Pen Missile.

I dunno, free doughnuts might beat free ice cream.

But nothing beats Tiger Hand!!

Sorry, but that's wrong. There is no general purpose exception for backups.

And THIS is whats wrong with copyright law. By law, anything we do with anything copyrighted is "infringement", and can be taken to court. Yes, you too can be sued for buying a copy of Brittney Spears' latest album, dropping it in your cd player and having yourself a listen!

But wait! There is a warm fuzzy cloud here to save you, and it's called "Fair Use". Is the "ephemeral" digital copy made by the cd player when you hit play "Fair Use"? Maaaaaaybe. Maaaaaaaaybe not. YOU DON'T KNOW! (was that quote fair use? Who knows! I hope they don't sue me to find out!) Not until someone gets sued for it and a court of law sets precedent one way or another. And then like the oft-threatened Betamax case or the somewhat recent case ruling that music samples must be cleared even if they aren't recognizable or distinguishable, you still don't know, since at any time someone else could sue you anyway in hopes of convincing the court that the old precedent doesn't apply anymore.

Tiger Hand!?.

Saddam,

For the last time, you can't vote in our elections.

Go back to playing Rock, Paper Saddam.

Signed,

The US
