This question is a little broader than just copyright reform, but I'll ask it anyway.

Do not buy anything with Sony's name on it. Cast your vote with your spending dollars. If enough people oppose this, it will hit Sony where it hurts. Of course if most people don't care, Sony will probably get away with it and set a new low for the industry.
The article makes a fair point. If everyone is allowed to copy everyone else (and they already are anyway including Apple), the only way for a company to distinguish itself is to innovate faster than the competition can copy. This actually promotes innovation, not stifle it.
Yeah that puzzled me too. This is what I think they meant.
500 + 30% = 650 which is an increase of 150/year.

I should refer my brother-in-law. Sounds like he would be perfect for the job!
They should build it right on top of Fukushima! If that doesn't produce giant lizards or superheroes, nothing will.
Wow!! Colonel Sanders lived to 90 eating that crappy chicken?!?
It's also a stellar way of fracking a water supply that can't be unfracked.

The Swiss security is similar to their cheese?
My dream of living in a house made of chocolate may one day become a reality!!
Take down the AOL CD collage and tile the walls of your office with them. It will look cool and you can brag about you 2+TB walls!
