Better solution: Copyright shouldn't run the life of the author. They shouldn't last more than 10yrs and are NOT RENEWABLE.
Yes, I'm a bit bitter over all the bullshit coming out of the MAFIAA's corner, however... Fuck that shit. I have to have a job and can't ride on one accomplishment forever. Get over yourselves you lazy, greedy dicks.
Yeah, because the old File-menu bar I never click on thanks to keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures really enhances the usability. Give me more space for the webpage!
People say the similar things about Intel here in Oregon. The state simply has to bend over backwards to make sure they're happy or they'll up and leave.
Fuck that. If people think they'll really turn their back on billions in manufacturing infrastructure and be up shit creek w/o those facilities, they're bananas.
It's like my great-grandfather would say when pressed to quit smoking: "Sure it takes years off your life. The years you spend laying in a bed, crapping yourself, being ignored by your family and 'touched' by a lonely, molesting orderly who dropped out of high school."
Grandma will upgrade to IPv6 when her ISP says your modem needs to be replaced or they have a tech swap her cable modem. The layman argument does not hold water in every situation. Most laymen will plug in their new IPv6 router and not even configure a password, let alone worry about routing tables, etc.
That's like saying grandma can't change her own brake pads, so we'll just let her grind her rotors down. Grandma will just goto a mechanic or in this case, her ISP which is staffed with NETWORK ENGINEERS. It's their fuckin' job to figure this stuff out and move to it for the benefit of their users. Your argument makes it sound like you're just a lazy network engineer who can't be bothered to work.
Granted that case is more about emotional distress than "defamation of character", but since I hadn't even heard of her and I had heard of Falwell... well how defamed can this chick really be? If someone in her industry really believed little bits of bullshit on a blog and didn't hire her, then maybe. Can you be subject of libel or slander if it doesn't cause you any damage?
A patent on a hammer is fine. A patent that says I can't use it to hammer things a certain way is bogus. I paid money for the hammer. I should be able to use it how I see fit and share that knowledge unencumbered.

Did you even look before spouting off?
There's a difference in seeking help because of a legitimate issue that absolutely NEEDS attention and blindly going to the doctor "just in-case"
Yup. Time to stop recommending his companies products.
Who made Sarkozy president?
The ISP is in Canada? Why should they comply with a US law?
AT&T Exec: "Yeah sure, we'll allow VoIP. Good luck with that!"

Bah, If I wanted to see that, I'd just undress a Barbie doll.

Not surprising the Garmin has offices near the state capital.
What about widespread greed?
Firefox users can get a search plugin @ http://mycroft.mozdev.org/ for the NOAA forecast.
*ahem*
IANAL but legally is it not theft but copyright infringement? Therefor the government is misrepresenting its own laws?
They've come up with a way to make gaining 5 levels take as long as it took to gain 10 levels in the prior expansions.

If they're combatants and you throw a robot first (not knowing who they are yet) I'm pretty sure they'll be throwing grenades in return.
I am reminded of this

Obviously IANAL
Because you have to have a system in place to sustain the people that would have to install all the solar panels?
