Wipout Essay Results

Posted by michael on from the a-for-effort dept.

chrestomanci writes "The Register is reporting on the results of a counter-essay contest run by wipout.net (an international organisation that seeks to limit the reach of the WIPO and intellectual property rights in general) against the WIPO's own essay contest, both with the title "What does intellectual property mean to you in your daily life?". A telling slogan reads: Today, the WTO pulled the trigger on another 2.500 poor AIDS victims."

    Someone explain to me how complaining about a site's lynx (or other text-mode browser) unfriendliness is unlike driving a Ford Model T on the freeway, and complaining that the freeway is built wrong because everyone is required to go fast.

    The WIPO Troll is still around. J'raxis ratted himself out in a Slashdot journal, which I can't seem to find, but he preserved it on his website. Ignore the April Fool's nonsense at the bottom. His confession is so thoroughly damning, it's plain and clear that he is the real The WIPO Troll.

    Yes, but then he denied it. J'raxis is no WIPO. They just don't compare.
