Using Copyright To Suppress Political Speech

MacDork writes "As most /.'ers know all to well, Copyright is increasingly being used as a means to suppress free speech these days. And the trend has not been lost on our 2004 US Presidential candidates. Both George and John are using copyright law to 'vaporize' information considered embarrassing or harmful to their campaigns. Don't worry about basing your vote on copyright issues though. Like most other domestic issues (gay marriage: no, offshoring: yes), their stance is pretty much identical (i.e. pro Hollywood)."

    Do you foam at the mouth and masturbate whenever you type something against Republicans? Get a life, loser.

    No, I fondle the huge wads of money littering my desk, a mere fraction of my immense wealth, as I conjure up new ways to diss the poor old GOP. I'm so phenomenally successful, and good looking to boot, that I don't need to get a life -- life just presents itself to me, pre-wrapped and lightly perfumed, ready for me to pick and choose my delights.

    Your point...?
