Sotomayor's Position On Copyright Damages

Too Lazy to Login writes "Wired reports that, based on her previous decisions, Sonia Sotomayor will likely affirm high damages (read: RIAA excessive) in cases where copyright claims are at issue. Good thing I'm not a betting man, because I'd have guessed the exact opposite." We discussed the nominee's cyberlaw record in general last week.

    What's a latino female? Is that a codename for hispanic shemales?

    Are we basing our image of this woman off of one action and one statement?

    Of course not. There's a lot of blatant prejudice and paranoia too.

    Is the only answer. Throw them all out.

    That's a good idea. A revolution is long overdue! I'll bring the tar and feathers. You bring the pitchforks and torches. We'll get started tonight.

    Oh wait, American Idol is on tonight. Hmm, can we do the revolution tomorrow? What were we talking about again? I remember being angry about something.... hmm, Kris Allen is cool isn't he?

    I'm just waiting for Sotomayor's Paris Hilton style homemade porn video to be released. I hope that long forgotten boyfriend held onto that tape they made that one rather forgetful night.

    I'm waiting for her to get on the bench and come out of the closet. Hispanic lesbian female - the affirmative action trifecta.

    I paid my taxes in hope this year. Unfortunately, the IRS sent me a nasty letter demanding immediate payment of the amount I owed in US legal tender. Hope is useless, it turns out. Unfortunately, the postal service charged me a pretty penny when I re-filed my tax returns and paid the amount I owed with change.
