Fired from an IP Law Firm for Anti-DRM Views?
dchallender writes to tell us that Inga Chernyak, recently featured in a VillageVoice piece entitled "Code Warriors", has been fired from an IP firm in NYC for having "incompatible views". From the article: "I was, and still am, a student interested in the scope of copyright law, and determined to pursue a career in the field. I wanted to gain an understanding both of the theory of copyright, which my work with FC provided, and its practice. The firm exposed me to the day to day operations of an IP lawyer, and I was nothing if not receptive to these lessons. I was baffled that someone saw fit to fire me over an expression of dissenting views. Doesn't the field become richer when the wider spectrum of legal thought is explored and encouraged?"
Yeah, I can't believe the guy got through law school and came out still that naive. Law school usually beats that out of people.
I was talking about "war".
You ranted about one war.
I have to assume you aren't intelligent enough to discern the difference.
Stop using straw men and loaded language to inject your moronic views into a discussion THAT ISN'T ABOUT THE WAR IN IRAQ.
Jesus, do you idiots EVER give it a rest.
How pathetic are you that you follow me from topic to topic and waste all your mod points at once modding me down?
If you don't believe in DRM but can argue effectively for it, you're an asset to your company.
If you can argue for anything just because someone is paying you, you're a morally bankrupt intellectual whore.
