1) Copyright state laws for states that haven't copyrighted their own laws yet.
2) Copyright California Bills before they're passed into law (since they're only copyrighting their LAWS.
2) Sue.
4) Profit!
No ??? step?!? Something is seriously wrong here!
That something must be that copyrighting laws is the stupidest idea that's ever been conceived.
If you want something that will really warm your heart you should have seen how cute those little foreign kids were in their mud huts with their coke-bottle shoes as they made those flashlights by candlelight!
I'm sure his tactic of selling the domains to the highest bidder will keep them out of the hands of evil wealthy industriali...... heyyyyy wait a minute!
They'd invest it in some awesome way, like giving your money to China to plan for your future of not having to be a slave to the Chinese when they call in the debt!
If only if only
the wood pecker sighs
the bark on the trees was as soft as
the sky

hungry and lonely
he cries to the moo-oo-oon
if only if only
It seems to me that every investigation into finding life outside of earth demonstrates the observer effect.
By bringing equipment from earth to another place, there is always the possibility that some microscopic organism, hearty bacteria, etc... will have come along for the ride, thus introducing life into the environment being examined.
I had another thought just after clicking submit...
"Private entity" could also mean a competing business... Certain large shady corporations hand enough money to DHS under the table, and suddenly small competing software firms start having their laptops "confiscated indefinitely to combat terrorism".
Also, officials may share copies of the laptop's contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption, or other reasons, according to the policies
You know, this sounds like the perfect loophole for software pirates. They should all go get jobs working for DHS, since they'll be legally allowed to confiscate and copy anything they want.
While I agree wholeheartedly with the point you made, I would also point out that cheating and rule-breaking are two different things...
Cheating is inherently a lie - deception in order to wear the trappings of success. Rule-breaking might be necessary in many situations, but never in the form of deception for personal gain.

Congratulations! You've just won a trip to the Island for an all expenses paid vacation!
Are you friends with a man named "Hall"? First name "KidsInThe"?

At long last!!! The slashdot conversation machine has arrived at the answer!
Ah yes, the dreaded Australopeniscus.
And it definitely has nothing to do with people buying bigger TV's, better surround sound, newer computers, new cars, and buying the Jones' house.
I say we blame the French. That's worked out pretty well for us in the past.

It was adorable!!!

They're more likely to be carrying a larger percentage of their worldly possessions as they flee.
Sweet!! More polydent, depends, and preparation-H than I could ever have dreamed of owning!
Retirement, here I come!!!

Hooray for big government! Who's with me!?
So would the people who RTFA would get the same pension as everyone who just reads Slashdot?
Sounds pretty much the same as the working world to me...

They should have gone with "Cumulonimbus Capillatus Computing".
Heck of a lot more fun to say.
nannies trying to feed you the Australian bottle of ignorance

What they've ACTUALLY found is GOLD!
There's GOLD in them thar regoliths!!!!
In other news, NASA has just received trillions of dollars in funding from businesses who have taken a sudden interest in the space program.
What are the odds that *we* brought life to Mars?
Perhaps some sort of bacteria or other microorganism capable of surviving harsh conditions managed to survive on the journey from earth to mars.
Whether there was life on Mars or not before, perhaps there is now because of us?

Yeah, but, if you're a slashdot reader, chances are good Hugh Jackman would kick your ass in a real fight, so I'd say he's more suited to the role.
More likely they're trying to be bought by Micro-soft-boiled (or at least receive under the table funding) to assist in the mission to "crush" google.

I'd say the CIA is always looking for people.
