Comments on “Protection”
Take an “unmitigated irony attack” point, Nina.
golf clap. You and Dark Helmet should work together.

I wasn’t aware you thought that much of my work, but thank you….
Re: Re: Re:
I think you got it backwards. A bonus golf clap for you for hitting the bunker.
Re: Re: Re: Re:
Nope. Too late, you gave me a compliment.
And I love you for it. Wanna hug?
In before anyone attacks Nina’s character and starts ranting about “FUD.”
Re: Re:
This is clearly an astroturfed strawman, not FUD.
Koolaid drinking freetard…
Amazing
These two puff balls seem to not appear very often but when they do they manage to take exactly three panels to give a better explanation of things that the people who actually make the laws. Perhaps these two could be convinced to run for political offices?
Re: Amazing
I think three panels is as far as most of the koolaid drinkers seem to think these days.
Re: Re: Amazing
Where’s my hug, sparky?
Re: Re: Amazing
As opposed to the one-note tune you’re always whistling?
I think this is the “spend money to make money” principle reformulated.
Re: Re:
Nope, its the protection racket.
Pay the “good” lawyers to protect you from the “bad” lawyers.
(Yes, I know there are some genuine good lawyers out there, but at some points you have to wonder if even they are being caught up in the system.)
Re: Re: Re:
Yes, the good lawyers are caught up…don’t blame lawyers in general, blame those who write bad laws. If we only had properly balanced IP laws, trust me, the bad lawyers would move on to more lucrative ventures.
Re: Re: Re: Re:
“blame those who write bad laws.”
Lawyers?
Um... I can't agree with this comic.
I don’t think the protection is from other lawyers, but from people who’ll use them because they’re upset to see their Creative Commons license not being used as they want it to be.
/jab
Re: Um... I can't agree with this comic.
No, it’s definitely the lawyers. The rights holders may come in shouting “I’m angry, I want retribution!” but the lawyers make the “let’s sue their house off!” answer possible, along with recommending it.
Re: Re: Um... I can't agree with this comic.
No, the LAWS make it possible. The lawyer has a DUTY to inform his client of those options. A duty imposed on the lawyer by the LAW. The client has to be the one to choose that path (though some lawyers will push more than they are required to push, and that might make them a bad lawyer)
I am not defending these lawsuits, but we need to spread the blame around
Love it!!!
Thanks Nina! This one is (like most others of your cartoons) really funny! I needed a good laugh at the beginning of this Thursday!
lol.
Lawyers? Or laws?
Lawyers are not the problem, they’re the symptom.
Our society has so many laws and regulations the only way to comply with them or defend yourself from them is to get a lawyer. Tell me why our lives can’t be just a little bit simpler.
Vote libertarian.
Re: Lawyers? Or laws?
because if everything were simple, then i would be too hard to control us. Wrap up everything as complicated as possible and they can change it to suit their needs. Believe me, the K.I.S.S. method was abandoned a long time ago.
Re: Lawyers? Or laws?
YES! Finally someone points this out! It is like regulatory capture. Too much regulation. Restrained by chains of our own making.
irony troll is ironic
Lawyers do not make Laws, lawyers work with the laws at hand for the benefit of their clients.
The laws are created and enacted by Government representing the YOU.
Most lawyers I know (including myself though I do not practice) are annoyed with laws that have been enacted in the last 15yrs or so mainly because they are ambiguous, inequitable, and extremely vague.
As an AC said above, a lawyer has a professional and ethical DUTY to inform a client of the current laws, though the lawyer also must inform a client of any ramifications that could occur too, as well as the lawyers DUTY to the court for such things as frivolous or vexatious suits.
That being said.. I did actually Laugh and do agree to an extent with Nina’s cartoon.
