Supreme Court Rejects RIAA Appeal
An anonymous reader submits "Recall that the RIAA originally used to directly send DMCA-laced supoenas to ISPs to obtain information about a P2P user. Then recall how Verizon and other providers balked saying the RIAA had to file John Doe suits first. It ultimately reached SCOTUS, with the RIAA appealing a decision that was in Verizon's favor. SCOTUS has declined to hear the case, effectively casting the Verizon opinion in stone. Wahoo! Part of DMCA shot down!"

Nice troll, assmaster.

And even if they didn't, what you're proposing is electoral fraud. I want Kerry to win, no question, but not by electoral shenanigans.
We got Bush that way, remember?
While I share your sentiment that it's sickening to be corrected in everyday talk,
Is it really "sickening," as in, physically nausiating, or were you just using a metaphor? Did you choose to write "sickening" to mean an obviously exaggerated expression of annoyance?
Sort of like how people use "stealing" as a metaphor for "copying music without paying for it" when referring to music downloaders? Do you see where I'm going with this?
Lighten up, all you semantic nitpickers. We use metaphors all the time. Get over it.
Like woodworking? Build your own picture frames.
Except of course he lost the popular vote. Down with the electoral college!
I live in Ohio you insensitive clod!
