I think the real purpose of this is more along the lines of lets show sci-fi channel that the show is worth saving. That and creating a buzz around the show that might get other networks interested in picking it up.

Fun with LEGOs
I submitted this story, which I first saw on Fark, to Slashdot, but since none of my stories ever make it,..
Show me that its illegal.
You've purchased the CD. You can download the mp3s of it because you already own them.
I have a win98 license in my drawer. I no longer have the CD for it. If I downloaded the software and used my registration key it would be legit.
The Black Widow spider has decided to sue all other black spiders with markings on their bellies, stating that they are infringing on its trademark. "The black widow has worked to maintain its image in the insect community, and these imposters are getting a free ride" said a black widow spokesman.
The copycats will have to alter their appearance or pay a licensing fee.
Even with all this evidence, you still might not have done anything illegal. Lets for instance you leave your car door unlocked and someone comes in and steals all your CD's. well since you already bought the CDs you can download them again all you want off p2p.
hmm, nordstroms will take anything back, after any amount of time, without a receipt, no questions asked.
and that kind custumer service keeping me going back because I know that if I end up not liking something I can return it no problems without having to make up some excuse. If I can't decide between 2 shirts I can buy them both and return the other later.
and you can't step onto the blade of a black helicopter unless you fall on it.
I believe Marvel god a ridicously small cut from from X-men, since the company was in financial trouble around that time and was willing to take any offer.
If the don't want to give you a refund, you can make them lose a sale in another way. Stand around the checkout counter until you see someone intending on buying the CD you are attempting to return. Give them your CD for free. Sure you don't get your money back but at least you cost them a sale.
well, phone companies can track you when you use your land line as well.
Do you use any electronic methods of payment? Because the banks and credit companies can track you then too.
How come you won't talk to people who are using a cell phone?

I'm not a troll, people just don't think I'm very funny.
