New EU IP Law Deemed Harmful
JPMH writes "The Register is reporting on this alert from FFII about a new EU Directive on IP enforcement due to go to the Parliament legal affairs sub-committee on Monday, and full Plenary in two weeks time. The detailed text of the measure was only published on Tuesday. FFII says that without better defined safeguards the Directive will lead to a far more agressive, lawyer-driven legal environment for creative businesses. Having seen how similar legislation is used in the United States, FFII fears that it will provide the perfect means for agressive litigators holding dubious intellectual property rights to "pull a SCO" and use the powers of the Directive to seriously harass and damage small open-source projects and innovative businesses. FFII has a list of MEPs to contact here." The law has been described as a DMCA on steroids. We've reported on this before, but it bears repeating...

I trained for so long. 2 years worth of grueling physical activity. I needed it! The climb was extremly tough. I made it out alive, but with only the upper half of my body! The happenstance happened in a most happenin' way, I must say! So I explained to my trainer yesterday. "You molded me into a fine climbing machine. It was my fault that I did not come back whole". He countered, "No! It's my fault. Autocannibalism should not have been part of your training corriculum." I could not argue with him on that point. I pivoted on the palm of my hand, and kicked my leg stub into his groin!
I drove to where the mountain of helen rested. No volcano there! I decide there was not enough risk. I wanted my abilities to be greatly challenged! I grabbed my ears and pulled them off my head. I said to helen, "Oh monument of great rock, take my ears and listen for the mountains that speak the molten language!". After the sacrifice, I prayed and I prayed. For 3 weeks I stayed there, singing songs that I could not hear. Until one day! Helen threw a bolder at me. It rolled over my legs. I screamed, and I screamed, but I remembered my training!
My first response was to guard against salmonella poisioning! I reached behind me and pulled out a fork from my backpack. But before I could begin, a billy goat attacked me! He screamed, "Take your guns, and get out of my town!" I did not known how to respond as he kept ramming me. Finally I decided that it would be best if I killed him! As the goat charged once again, I yodled an ancient animal paralyzing tune. The goat collapsed only a few feet away. I crawled to a position where my head was above his. And I slammed my forehead into his eye socket! And yelled, "Who is YOUR DADDY?". He was dead after only a few butts.
It was then time to make my escape to civilization! I stuck the fork into one of my severed legs. I lifted it to my mouth, and began to munch. The blood was still warm as it eased the meat down my throat. I ate both legs, including bone, within 5 minutes. I wrapped the ends of my stubs with the billy goat's fur. I had to tear it off his skin with my teeth! I walked 3 miles to get to my parked car. My body swung back and forth as I used my arms as legs. I climbed into the car, and then realized I couldn't reach the pedals! I swore vengence on foreign automobile makers! I then started the engine, and dove head first into the floor. My right hand putting the pedal to the metal!
I pulled off what was left of my pants, and undergarment. Using what strength I had left, I tranferred my power of sight to my anus! Along with the stubs at the wheel, it guided me safely back home.
If there's one thing I could have done differently, I would have said these last words to the goat before I murdered him:

Also, the sky is blue.
Oh christ, get the FUCK over yourself.
The "corporatists" have NOTHING to fear, least of all from a circlejerk of college-aged children who are blind drunk on their own egos and nievete.
Yes, the sky IS falling. Yes, we ARE sliding into another dark age. Yes, it REALLY IS THAT BAD.
There is not JACK SHIT that you can do about it, so the "corporatists" are most likely at home, wathing tv or banging their wives. (something your virgin self won't ever have to worry about.)
Is both BLUE And FALLING!
