The Wall Street Journal today has an article about business models based on bandwidth use by the consumer. Those who download more would pay more. Users currently pay more for higher download speeds from their ISP. Businesses pay a different price.
If your ISP can charge different prices for different levels of service, why should other providers of bandwidth not be allowed to do the same? What is wrong with differentiated services at different prices?
What rights do you have in someone else's building? What rights does the owner of the building have?

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States(.)
Don't you think that the clause in question refers to imports from other countries? New York is not allowed to put a duty on goods coming from France.

This is exactly a fair use issue. The "good guys" have decided that the "bad guys" are not allowed to reference or quote them. As you have pointed out, all the comments are in favor of the "good guys" because they are good. One person stands up for "fair use," and you call it a troll.

Why is Jennifer Wilbanks fair game and PJ sacred? PJ is a public figure, quoted weekly in Slashdot. Why is her privacy more important than Jennifer Wilbanks's?

It has been explained several times that the New York Times is an exception to the Slashdot policy of not using links to sites that require registration.
You have every right not to read the article, not to buy the New York Times, and not to read Slashdot. However, the powers that be have decided that the amount of information in the New York Times that is "news for nerds" is sufficient to warrant the exception to the general rule.
Didn't anyone even listen to the sound clip? When did Leadbelly become a woman?

September 26, 2001 Data Book Details IRS Numbers Shows Collection Costs Down, Charitable Groups Grow
WASHINGTON - The Internal Revenue Services cost for collecting each $100 of tax revenue reached the lowest point since 1954, according to the new IRS Data Book for Fiscal Year 2000.
The Data Book, released today, shows it cost the IRS 39 cents to collect $100 in FY 2000, the smallest amount in more than four decades. In 1993, it cost 60 cents to collect $100.

It's amazing how many people thought the original poster, gkelman, was asking about Eben Moglen. The post asks a different question, one asked by Eric Raymond in "The Luxury of Ignorance," which was discussed on slashdot yesterday. The real question is why do slashdot postings, as do many configuration utilities, assume the reader already knows the answers?
All the poster was suggesting was that the original post would have been much more informative if it had included a second sentence that read something like "Eben Moglen is the lawyer for the Free Software Foundation and spoke at the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology lecture on the 23rd on the topic of 'SCO and After SCO: The Legal Future of Free Software'."
Wouldn't that have made the topic of the article much clearer?
634-5789 was recorded by Wilson Pickett, Bon Jovi, Trace Adkins, and is on the original Blues Brothers soundtrack. I am old enough that I have no clue as to what Jenny's number is, but I always remember 634-5789. It was written by Steve Cropper, guitarist for Booker T. and the MGs, and Eddie Floyd, another Stax/Volt artist ("Knock on Wood").
"None can love freedom but good men. Others love not freedom, but license."
It's a nice quote, but it doesn't apply here. Milton was contrasting freedom to license, a noun meaning "an excess of liberty; freedom abused; also, licentiousness." (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary - 1959)
