To be fair, a large portion of the US electorate doesn't have US interests in mind either when they go to the voting booths. They dont have anything in mind except for the latest talking points on their favorite newschannel.
Are there other actions that are more likely to work?
I recommend making a huge blockbuster movie that has a stupid patent at heart of a world-wide catastrophe. The world is saved at the very last moment by a brave low-level USPTO examiner (good-looking one, of course, if such exist). This could also work for the story about spam and bounty proposal.
If they plan to do it, they better do it quick. The only (I believe) common character of the trilogy and the Hobbit is Gandalf. Ian McKellen isn't getting any younger.
You know, the article inspired me. I love Ben&Jerry's iScream. So today I was walking down the street licking my rocky road cone, and then I saw this pretty lady walking toward me doing same, also B&J's. We made iContact and I offered her to have a lick of mine.
Unfortunately, it didn't work as well as with iPods in the article. She refused to reciprocate. I only got to sniff some of her pepper spray, that's all.
The comment about charged batteries is not as silly as it may seem. During the blackout my iBook was the only source of light. I had moved recently and didn't have any candles here. Good thing the battery lasted 2+ hours after I spent half a day trying to find a working wi-fi source in Manhattan.

When I was growing up, most of my English vocabulary came from Civilopedia.
Posters who complained about improper apostrophe use also complained about improper comma use. Would you like to do that?

talk about picking on the wrong group
I think for their dental needs the "music industry" honchos will now have to cross the border.
This must be an attempt to get mathletes laid as much as regular jocks. Thus, I wholeheartedly support it.

The powers being harnessed are those of gullibility, ignorance and greed.
1) Allow a company to eliminate competition.
2) Profit! (.5$B in cash)
3) Look the other way for a few years.
4) More profit!
Posting an article about your online business on slashdot should definitely qualify.
"Starting a business venture with CowboyNeal" should be there too.
I, for one, welcome our new human overlords.

What do they call iPod's size now?
What will be the next step after we detect a signal?
SCO's discount student rate of 642$ per Linux installation?

Does it mean major sports leagues won't be able to ban genetically modified humans from competing with naturally-bred ones?
Please note i didn't say "single", I said "different".
Some say it's a good thing, competition is good, etc. I, with Microsoft in mind, prefer different markets to be dominated by different players.
Did they manage not to violate any of the new laws in the process?
