Police do not protect property. They go out and try to arrest the stupid criminals who give them probable cause after they have violated your property. If they went after them before, that would be a police state which the constitution protects us against. If you want someone to protect your property, hire a security guard.
What about SDBMS (Spreadsheet Database Management System) where you have all your employees (none of whom have ever taken an Excel class) keep all your key information in separate spreadsheets, with multiple copies with non-descriptive names stored in hackneyed folder hierarchies, all with every possible formating trick in addition to numbers and dates stored as text making them impossible to sort, with needless pivotables up the wazoo, numerous unintelligible graphs, with every effort put into just making it print okay and requiring the entire worksheet to be reformatted when you want to make one small change.
We invaded iraq because Saddam Hussein was a murderous tyrant who launched two wars of aggression and tried to launch a third. He committed genocide against ethnic groups not his own using chemical weapons. He tortured/killed anyone who disagreed with him. We invaded Iraq because you handwringers didn't do squat.
Pick something with a cool name. Only look for cutting edge type projects, blow off the device driver and mundane bug fix stuff. Better yet, grab some random buzzwords and start you own project, like Ajax on Rails.
The original Copyright was that given by the King to his subjects. People were not allowed to print copies of anything unless they were granted the right. Royalty demanded and got control over everything.
There are a number of people who had the job of judging whether or not a person was white or not. Apartheid ended in South Africa and they are out of work.
A lot of people are already paying a buck a song and not fretting about full legitimate DRM (iTunes), so there's one value equation.
The real question is: What price would you pay for a movie with extreme DRM that you could only watch once? What about 50 cents? 25 cents? If it only cost pocket change would you still wring your hands about how your "rights" had been infringed by not being able to keep a copy of it? With the right DRM/price, artists could still make a mint of money off their work and everyone would be happy.
We are going to oxidize most all of the reasonably available hydrocarbons. This is inevitable. We will return all the CO2 back into the atmoshpere where it came from. If we supposedly slow down CO2 production it will take perhaps 50 years instead of 40 for this to happen. 100 years from now will we be able to notice that 10 year difference? I think not. Stop hand wringing and figure out a way to adapt.

Not true, I heard their lyric "Stronger than Dirt" used in a Mr. Clean commercial.

If everyone just agreed then we wouldn't need lawyers.

The reason the PC was became so big was that it enabled folks to do stuff on a computer without having to ask the stodgy IT guys permission.

A cult of personality is not a govenrment. The blame is entirely on one muderous tyrant.
