""Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken....There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, Ch. III, "White Blackmail"
That would be a BAD THING. I line with current US economic thinking BAD THINGS do not exist. So your question is not a valid question. You must be a terrorist supporter...
Bayor lost their trademark because German lost a war.
"Aspirin (with a capital A) and Heroin (with a capital H) were actually trademarks of Bayer up through the end of World War I. However, following Germany's defeat, Bayer was forced to give up both trademarks as part of the country's war reparations. Believe it or not, the trademarks were given up at the Treaty of Versailles to France, England, Russia, and the United States in 1919. They never mentioned that in history class in high school! "

That is not the issue. The issue is that a sitting supreme court judge took 1.0 to 1.5 million from a company that stands to benefit from this ruling. He should reclused himself from this issue.
The companies paying him more than a million dollars have an interest in copyright. It is there main line of work. That is where conflict of interest comes in.
MODS: This is not flamebait. This just happend less than 7 days ago. Follow the damn link and see.
What happend to conflict of interest?
"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will receive more than $1 million for his memoirs from publisher HarperCollins.
Multiple publishers vied for the rights to Thomas' autobiography, which he started writing in 2001, but Thomas liked the package offered by the New York-based HarperCollins, including the editor assigned to work with him, people in the publishing industry with knowledge of the deal said Thursday.
The amount of the deal was not revealed, except that it was in seven figures. "

This reads like the log from a bad D&D game.
One could easly say "This is a prime example of the PCI-SIG cutting off their nose to spite their face. It amounts to not much more than a tantrum."

They have to wait to make sure the check clear before to act...
I just received notice that my above comment was moderated down 72 hours after it was posted. Aren't there better things to use mod points on?
Who do you think wrote the check? The Easter Bunny?
It was a corporation whos entire line of business depends on copyright.
Maybe they have good lawyers. But the RIAA/MPAA has better politicians.
The number 1,2 and 3 reasons people use p2p networks are illegal mp3, videos, and software. You many not like it, but that is the sad truth.
Also, it doesn't matter if you have the cd. The copyright owner never gave the person sharing their music the right to distribute it.
That single, united, SUPPORTED p2p network of yours is also a single target for the RIAA/MPAA.
How is it espionage if they sell you the drive?
They are using the NEW, IMPROVED RIAA/MPAA counting system.
He could have waited till he was no longer a sitting Supreme Court judge. He could also have recused himself from this vote.

That line of reasonsing has worked real well in the 'War on Drugs(tm)'. The goverment will just build more prisions.
Goverment of the Corp, by the Corp, for the Corp?
Please tell me where we have a free market (H1B, OSHA, IRS) or a free society (TIA, TIPS, USA PATRIOT).
