The Double Edge of Copyright Extensions
porkface writes "The Morning News is running a simple, but eloquent editorial that plainly shows how Hollywood has routinely benefitted from the expiration of copyright, despite their adamant pressure on Capitol Hill to extend copyright almost indefinitely."
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen? It should be TEG!
"Yeah, well we're counter-suing you for infringing upon our copyright of suing!"
You have almost no knowledge of copyright law, do you? It's ok, you can admit it. Judging by the posts here, there are a lot of people in the same boat as you.

... but with um ... rodents! And Sergeant GlueTrap ... whoa man ... I've got the munchies ... do we have any glue around here?
my masterpiece, The League of Extraordinary Rodents. It was going to star Stuart Little, Algernon, Batman, and Mickey Mouse as the greatest mammalian crime-fighting team the animal kingdom had ever seen, and we'd follow them on thrilling adventures as they fought such evildoers as the, uh, the Federation of Felines and, um, Sergeant GlueTrap and, uhhhh...Well, to be honest I never really fleshed out the details. But trust me: It would have been awesome.
Is it just me, or is it hard to take this guy seriously when it sounds like he's been less against the extending of copyrights and more for expanding his own consciousness
Yeah, dude, imagine the League of Extra-orangey Gentlemen
