RIAA and BSA's Lawyers Taking Top Justice Posts
An anonymous reader writes "Following the appointment of RIAA's champion Donald Verrilli as associate deputy attorney general, here's a complete roundup of all the RIAA and BSA-linked lawyers comfortably seated at top posts at the Department of Justice by the new government. Not strange, since US VP Joe Biden is well known for pushing the copyright warmongers' agenda in Washington. Just in case you don't know, Verrilli is the nice man who sued the pants off Jammie Thomas."
Looks like the days for thievery of music, software, and movies is over. And just why, pray tell, is that a bad (tm) thing? The cost of your free ride is passed on to the rest of us who don't pirate. I'm not going to shed you any tears.
Well, Wonko, you jest, but let us not forget computers *are* wonderful tools but for most subjects, students learn at that point in their lives (middle/high school in the US), computers aren't necessary. Think about your breathing the primary subjects - Math, Science, and Literature/Writing - where do you see the benefits in using computers? Obviously for English classes, having access to computers to type papers is handy, but it's hardly necessary. Computers can be used in math to help illustrate concepts, but you don't want the students using computers to do their work, otherwise they won't know how to do it without them. And much of science is math - again, not something you want students using computers for.

I sincerly hope that whomever you voted for wasn't someone you actually thought was going to be lockstep with you 100% of the time.
If they were, I'm sorry you were a fool.
If they weren't, quit being an ass simply because it's not 'your guy' up there making choices you don't agree with.
You didn't read the parent of my post, did you? If you did, you just might get it. As it stands, you don't.
