    They save a TON of money by outsourcing the purchase of sharks to organisations like this. Come to think of it, they should see if they could get Wall St interested. A ton of em over there.

  6. Re:When they're right, they're right on The Economist Weighs In For Shorter Copyright Terms · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Finally some semblance of sanity is returning to the Copyright argument.

    The whole trouble with this is that it provides a completely unfair playing field for inventors, which are the people that the concept of copyright was meant to protect in the first place. Unfortuantely, being right by law is only ever as good as the lawyer that can argue that you are right. Big companies mean more money, which provides better lawyers.

    If only there was a wise being striding forward to take over the world. At least there would be progress by one so skilled to manipulate so many. Unfortunately, we cannot attribute to malice that which is easily explained by incompetence. President Bush is the starkest reminder of that, followed by our dear friends on Wall Street.
