Lessig On IP Protection, Conflict

cdlu writes "According to NewsForge [part of OSDN, like Slashdot], Stanford University law professor, author, and Creative Commons chairman Lawrence Lessig sharpened the definition of the ongoing legal struggle over intellectual property while talking at the Open Source Business Conference on Tuesday. According to Lessig: 'Contrary to what many people see as a cultural war between conservative business types and liberal independents, this is not a 'commerce versus anything' conflict. It's about powerful (business) interests and if they can stop new innovators'."

    GNAA Press release:
    GNAA claims responsibility for kidnap of Olsen Twins
    By Gary Niger
    Lindon, Utah - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced one of their loyal members was responsible for kidnapping the twins inside a popular New York Club, Vudu Lounge (Websites).

    In a shocking announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative rkz revealed that he was the mistery gunman who penetrated high-security defenses of the Vudu Lounge and injected viral gay nigger seed deep inside the Olsen Twins, was indeed a full-time GNAA member.
    "This is serious," rkz began. This is a first event of such magnitude since GNAA opened its doors to new members in 1996. Until now, we were gathering new members by announcing our group information on a popular troll website, slashdot.org, but this is a whole new era. By injecting our holy gay nigger seed right into human females, we will be able to immediately collect thousands of members. "Make the most of the next six weeks," he added. "We will grow in numbers more than you can possibly imagine".
    Insertion of the GNAA collecting penis into their tight little vaginas came right between the consideration of Justin Timberlake to buy out the entire early saturday morning disney entertainment show's cast, and will most likely positively affect the decision. By adding all the gay niggers working for Timberlake with the gay niggers developing Mac OS X kernel source, GNAA will be all-powerful and will begin plotting our next plans to penetrate "backdoors" into the next favorite teen pop star Kelly Osborne.

    Anyone who says "the internet has changed everything" should be shot.

    Lessig lost all credibility when the bubble burst. The internet has changed nothing and theft is still theft.

    Look at Russia or China for example. Nobody gives a shit about IP over there for the most part. So the innovation should bloom over there, right? WRONG! There is NO software market in these countries. So please try your laws on lab mice first. The job situation in the US is bad already, don't fuck it up even more by your stupid propaganda.
