Ah yes, the place all geeks pine for. Well, the government wouldn't do much intrusion simply because it wouldn't be funded. But private citizens would have access to all sorts of spying mechanisms. You would have to use anti-spying mechanisms to defeat it.
If copying information (which wants to be free) is not illegal, then there is absolutely no basis for the lawsuit at all. So that's a benefit of abolishing copyrights.
This is another of the evils of copyright. If copyright was abolished, there would be no reason to suspect a smart card programmer was going to be used for something illegal. So there would be no way to extort money.
That's the future. This is a great move by IBM, just to get the mindset to the masses. Eventually we'll get beyond copyright and patent, but this is a start--even if it's by a huge corporation.
Why not do something to advance science rather than just read and wish you were born years later? Seems like they have a section in the bookstore to keep geeks happy and not taking over the world as they are destined to.
Can I be a geek and not read the damn sci-fi? I wanna develop sci-reality, not be confined to a section of a bookstore designed to keep nerds busy and not changing the world.

Plantiff's lawyer has tenuous grip on reality.
You'll inform the rest of us as much as you do now.
Basically, "The Man" has been given unlimited mod powers to further the corporate conservative agenda.
You can copy them, but not steal them. Unless you delete the lines that were there, but I doubt that happened. How illogical.
Copyright is unnatural. We should abolish copyright before making new movies.
Natural--Laws against theft of property and murder. Unnatural--Slavery laws. "Intellectual property".
It's more important to eliminate unnatural laws.
...they could still check to see who is getting downloaded the most. Abolish copyrights.
Abolish all patents. Thus, the software patents will no longer be valid. Simple, isn't it?
They're loud, slow, and ugly. The sooner they go away, the better.

Why not just teach them binary, hexadecimal, and logical thinking? Do we need laptops for that?
The response will be that Microsoft will donate enough campaign money to invade all three countries for being 'communist'. And they'll be serious.
Artificial scarcity is illogical.

So after they do nuke, the computers that survive won't be running Windows.
Maybe they're just trying to undermine Windows by attacking it.
Use hexadecimal.

And the RIAA can just do publicity for shows.

At some point, you just don't need all the people. Then, shit will happen.

Things are gonna change--those who refuse to change will be killed (especially when laser blasters come out). Got a closed mind? You won't live long.
