But storytelling is a collaboration with an audience. At the very least, if he hadn't found an enthusiastic audience, you can be damn sure that he wouldn't have been able to make sequels.
But in the larger sense, when a storyteller tells his story to an audience, they internalize it, putting their own interpertation on it. Just look how old myths and ledgends kept getting retold, and remixed over the centuries. Hell, look how DizNey stripmined the public domain for fairytales to base movies on.
So, in the larger artistic sense, as I am a member of his audience, these are my movies. If he's gonna restrict his audience from re-telling the stories, he should have the grace to do the same.
Actually, with the enhanced 3-D we can now finally determine that it wasn't actually Greedo who shot first, it was Dar Wac from behind the grassy knoll.

Yeah, like Congress should be wasting its time investigating the mismanagement of a game by a monopolistic system they rubber-stamped in the first place.
It's not like there's more important issues to delve into currently.
I'm sure Eliott Spitzer has time to add investigations on the abuses carried out in the name of "Teh war on tERROR" along with Tycho, Worldcom, Enron and George II's plan to destroy social security and medicare (actually, that's his brother -- so far).
What's really hilarious is that you KNOW that some of the most buggy and exploit prone software will be certified for the trusted computing platform. IE & Outlook. So this makes this a futile endeavor from the get-go. Unless you mandate strict software testing and code audits before signing a program. But we all know the marketroids are driving this, not the geeks.
Good thing those repressive commie Chineese support IP rights so strongly! People in other countries aren't so much stupid consumers as Americans. It'll take like 30 seconds for some manufacturer in Taiwan to come out with a DRM-free motherboard and own the market.
The very fact that the average citizen needs a computer program or some voodoo tax doctor to determine their responsibility to the state indicates that the system is severely broken.
So when's google going to take over sourceforge and come out with googlesource? Are they going to come out with a google public license? How are they going to pry Corbis out of Gates' hands?
Interesting theory. Do you trust google more than EquiFax? Or ChoicePoint?
Aren't porting and actively supporting two different things?

Or maybe his intern working on the time-machine project gave him a letter warning that he was going to get hit over the head by Libyan terrorists. And he doesn't want to admit that he read the letter because he pretended that he didn't want to know the future.

Isn't Warcraft (et al) just M.U.L.E. on steroids?
Us belters though, we've still got grit!
Oh, come on, it's funny!
Factually correct, under our copyright scheme.

Well crap, I guess I got that one wrong!

That's not writing a web browser. That's just embedding IE in your app as a component.
Modern fortune cookies should also include your lucky lotto numbers, or at least teach you a word of Chineese.
