    Sorry, prior art. Also, you should have applied for a trade mark, not copyright.

    Did you even read the SUMMARY? It's right there -

    Perhaps most concerning, however, is the fact that this means those stiff penalties apply even when there is no harm or threat of harm to the copyright owner caused by the infringement.

    Now how hard was that?

    You can't send someone to prison without a trial. Not even for a traffic ticket.

    Nor can you petition a jury for jury nullification. Its automatic mistrial.

    Do you really believe that out of 12 jurors, there won't be ONE who is aware of jury nullification? Come on, you can't all be that dumb. (looks at republican race) ... On second thought ...

    It's pretty common knowledge what the penalties are for various crimes, such as 1st and 2nd degree murder, etc - anyone who reads the news will know this, with all the shootings going on.

    A jury can be presented with several different possible verdicts, each with a different penalty, and pick the one they want - so in effect, the jury does decide to a great part what the penalty shall be.

    And all this (the arguments you threw up) are irrelevant to my point - juries know that it's a criminal trial; they know that there's the possibility of jail time. So as I said, good luck finding someone to send someone to jail when there's been no harm.

    Good luck finding a jury that will send someone to jail when no harm has been done. Now everyone, please bone up on jury nullification.

    Buy a reasonable smartphone phone, pay it up front so you don't get on the "subsidized treadmill", and a cheap pay-as-you-go plan, and you will find your monthly bill dropping by between half and 3/4. It's not like they have to be replaced at 2 years + 1 day.

    And I call bullshit. Many people transition but stay in the same field, because that's what they know. If you looked at the bottom of the article, you would have seen one such instance where the f2m was more respected after transition by those who were not in the know, and compared the "two of them."
