...he generally didn't charge for speaking since he felt it was a corrupt abuse of the title of President.
Yeah, kinda funny how they all get religion when it's convenient. But he stepped on some big toes too. He also set the tone for the present day imperial presidency that Bush enjoyed so successfully. Ultimately the system prevailed. That's all that matters.
Second, it doesn't matter where you are. The ruling party is more than happy to throw a member(Nixon) or two under the bus as an exercise in theatrics to maintain its power. The Chinese put to death officials who get caught. And will be on the first page. Nixon drew a nice retirement package. The power structure remains intact. A triumph indeed.
My bad.. I meant copyright grants them special, temporary privileges. An attempt to apply tangible rules to intangible objects. The conflict is intractable. It really has nothing to do with "rights" at all.
Everybody but us, huh? You know... the people who elect the politicians who write the laws and appoint the members of the supreme court. Oh.. and continue to make CBS rich. No no no... not us.. we don't have anything to do with it. We are totally blame free. "minions out of control"... just who the hell do you think is responsible for controlling them? God? They aren't out of order... You're out of order!
Waddya mean offtopic? As a "friend" of the content/communications cartels, you can bet he's one of the larger impediments to real wide open high speed internet access.
The 'War on Terror' will prove to be ineffective as the 'War on Drugs'.
If by that you mean unprofitable, then you are dead wrong. There are various points of view to see these things. That of the public does not relate in any way to that of those who implement and administer it.
You should not put undue value on non-tangibles. They are easily replaceable*. Otherwise every "violation" against our gods would be considered an act of war.. placing us with... what group is that now? As far as mere spying is concerned, Google, of all "people" shouldn't get all huffy about it.

Yes, I'm sure the Chinese would allow you to publish a story so scandalous it could force Hillary... er Obama to resign.
What, is this along the lines of, "I was going to drive over to my girlfriend's house, but I lost my khakis?

And there is no dash in countertrolling..

I'm not real happy with opt-out models, myself.
Well, in the case of orphaned works, this is the best option, but Google should not be granted any special privileges or exclusivity over those works.
Copyright is about protecting publishers' rights, not the creators'
Old news, but for some reason, no one knows.
Correction.. No one cares..
At least the French knew when it was time for revolution.
There was no TV then..

And please vote Orrin Hatch out of office.

*they DO backup.. don't they?
There's nothing tepid about Hillary Clinton. She's 275 degrees below zero Celsius.
You're thinking of the snail and the turtle..
I don't know.. it happened so fast
THAT might set some interesting precedents.
Naaah... Just another knockoff of western ideas..
Viewers don't like privacy either.
1) Dumb viewers don't care about their privacy
2) Dumb shoppers buy useless junk products
3) Dumb voters vote for crooked politicians
Ohhh, Microsoft/Apple/Facebook/Amazon this! Ohhh, government that! Is everybody here ignoring the real problem?
First place to look is the refrigerator. Probably find his glasses and dentures there, too.
Time was so much faster then
It's slower then that now
The practice being applied used to be called, "what the market will bear"
Heh, more like between the cheeks, when it comes to cell phone service.
