Sen. Hatch to Introduce Wide-ranging Copyright Bill
The Importance of writes "C|Net News is reporting that a new copyright bill, to be introduced next week by Sen. Orrin Hatch, will likely overturn the Betamax decision (which held that VCRs were legal) and threaten all sorts of innovation. EFF broke the story and Copyfight has been all over it. Don't miss the comments of law professor Susan Crawford who says, 'This is amazing. Now we're waaaaaay beyond contributory and vicarious theories of liability, which are court-created and pretty darn broad on their own.' Text of the bill here and PDF."
from Sen. Hatch.
I'm probably at the karma cap. Mod up a funny troll instead, it lightens the mood
You misspelled "Moron"...
Just remember whose father stated he wanted a New World Order back in the early 90's... and that the son has infringed further on our rights than the father ever would have...
Having lived in Utah for the last 13 years, and growing up in a Mormon household, I've learned a few things. Perhaps the most disturbing of which you've slightly stumbled upon.
According to LDS doctrine their religion is the "only true" religion. In the afterlife you have a choice of converting or staying in a sort of wait period forever. After the Second Coming of Christ, in the "Heaven on Earth" period, the world will be united, with The Church as the ruling government. During this time a twisted sort of socialism will be the main-stay (the Law of Consecration). All property will be owned by The Church. All your gain will be given to the Bishop's Warehouse, and divided up fairly (not evenly, but "fairly") by The Church. The LDS tithing program (10% of the gross) is supposed to prepare the people for this.
It will be at that time that, once again according to LDS doctrine, we will either welcome our new Mormon overlords or go to their version of hell (or "heck" around here).
Although all of these statements are true, and I'm not LDS, they should in no way be construed to say that I'm anti-Mormon. Many LDS families are nice people with good intentions. Hell, my Dad's a Bishop. It's really just the BYU students and Orrin Hatch you want to stay away from.
