    "Pirating" rather than "Infringing copyright" has been used in court for some time. I'm not really sure what you're asking.

    I find it amusing that we geeks can be so anal retentive about redundancy, spelling and grammar, then invent words like "boxen" and "borked".

    Witches existed too, probably on about the same scale- the number of accused to actual witches probably isn't too far of that of Communists.

    But that wasn't really the point. The point is that they both should have been constitutionally protected, and were not.

    They'd rather beat the rap on technicalities than have the cops file resisting arrest or failure to stop.

    I'm not so sure about that- some 1%ers have a special patch that "signifies that the wearer has fought law enforcement on arrest". It's a badge of honor equivalent to a military medal.

    I agree they're not stupid, but they can certainly be unpredictable.

  17. Re:Right...... on Feds Target "Mongols" Biker Club's Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    The question isn't whether they want to enforce it, it's whether they want to start a war with a motorcycle club, which is probably better armed and more dedicated to fighting back.

    Of course, it appears that they have started the war with the recent arrests, so we'll see if they finish what they started.

    Translation: You hung out with gang bangers.

    Does that make his point less true?

    Besides, I used to hang out with a social circle that could be described as above, and they were skateboarders, not gang members. The only law breaking they did was trespassing, and they were harassed by cops for vandalism, drugs, and other things that they'd never even considered doing.

    Anyway the bottom line is yes, the police could force the Mongols to take the patches off. I think it is a good tactic. They should use it on the other biker 'organizations' too. They're all a bunch of scum bags... though not quite as bad as corporate lawyers.

    If they're doing something illegal, arrest them for that. There's nothing wrong or illegal about wearing a Hells Angels patch, a swastika, or a crucifix. As soon as they are illegal, we are all fucked.
