Whenever a government entity says something blatantly controversial like this, it's a good rule of thumb to dig around and find out what they're trying to steer your attention away from.
Now that I look into it, design houses that upgrade regularly are probably paying upgrade prices, not full retail. I don't know what upgrade prices are and I don't really give a shit, so just assume my parent comment is inaccurate.
"Esp. if one lives in a state that is comfortably R or D, there is no excuse to not make your conscience felt at the polls."
There's no excuse regardless of whether that state leans far to one side or another. Many of those republicans are holding their noses and voting for their party just like many of the democrats are. If every one of them voted their conscience, those heavily-leaning states would shift toward other parties pretty fast.
Since the law is never going to go back to the original 14 years intent, it's up to independent content creators to voluntarily release their work into PD after that time. The real question is how many of them are willing to let Disney sell their ideas once they are PD.

Relax, citizens. Stasi has only your best interests at heart.
Slashdot: news for people who just came out of a two-year coma. Stuff that mattered.
your bait is not working
Worked amazingly well from where I'm sitting.
"Terrorists can"
I'mma let you finish, Yee, but...no, wait, I'm not going to let you finish. Shut the fuck up.
If they have to collection all government, state and federal, photos that is going to alot.

Yeah, the operatives would have gotten away with it if it weren't for your pesky 3-lever lock.

I'm pretty sure every school district in America still has buses.
"Judging by your archaic User ID,"
An ID in the half-million range is "archaic" now? Shit!

An InDesign 5.5 file won't even open in InDesign 5.0
SHOCKING.

You might want to look that up.
"I'd love to know how the bean counters in Adobe justify that..."
They have to transport those electrons all the way across the ocean, man!
A new CS major version is (was?) released about every 1.5 years. Design houses that upgrade regularly are going to save money with a subscription.
"Why couldn't they spin around each other forever?"
1. Infalling dust and other galactic debris.
2. Quantum virtual particles.
3. Gravity.

Sounds like a perfectly valid argument to me.

"Despite his close ties to industries he will soon regulate, some media watchdogs are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt."
Chumps.
"there will be an adaptation of society."
Sure just like the Segway "will be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy," right?
Maybe Glass will be more important than the internet and bigger than the Beatles, too.
"The fact of the matter is BitTorrent is in it for themselves, they're not in it for the health of the industry."
The irony is so heavy it could shift Jupiter from its orbit.
Good luck with that, DOD. CenturyLink *sucks*.

Here's a simple rule-of-thumb to keep in mind: whenever a politician opens his or her mouth, things are about to get worse for common citizens.
"There's a reputable cable provider?"
Yes. I find monoprice supplies me with decent quality cables at pretty good prices.
Western Union and AT&T also used to provide "cables," and were considered quite reputable in their time.
We are in total agreement here. I *can't count* the number of times I've gone to the market and seen someone watching videos of goat porn.
