If that were true then how the heck are terrorists already benefiting from infringement when there is already a legal product available. That's the whole point Congress is making. A legal product is available and here we have terrorists benefiting from the existence of IP law. Legalize infringement, abolish IP law, and terrorists can no longer benefit.

I thought this was stupid and crazy as to why she doesn't live with her mom. Then she told me how her dad has this money set aside for her when she gets married, and she will be in control of the company. She showed me the Bond and its worth $800,000. She then told me she wants to get married to me. I out of curiosity went along with it. She told me that the family lawyer is in Africa taken care of some business for the business and that I have to email him to tell him that I am engaged to her and that I want to marry her. I did that and he responded telling me that he is happy that "Jenny" found someone. He said that he will do an electronic wedding certificate, and it cost $450. I wasnt sure about sending him money for that. So I told her that I dont have the money. She then asked for my bank info so that her uncle could send me the money via bank. I said no thanks. She now tells me that he is sending me money $900 via cash points. So I can send the lawyer the $450 and the other $450 send to her mom for doctor bills. This all sounds like a scam. I asked her to call me and she told me she doesnt have minutes on her phone and cant call. I said use your Uncle's phone. She said she will try tomorrow. She also told me how she was in the hospital for "menstrual" pains, and I didnt believe that, but she sent me a pic with her in the hospital and stuff. Is this scam? I havent sent her any money.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130518/17573523139/funniestmost-insightful-comments-week-techdirt.shtml#c99 Mon, 20 May 2013 01:42:39 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130518/17573523139/funniestmost-insightful-comments-week-techdirt.shtml#c99 See, for example, the war on drugs. and running an infringement cartel and getting away with it is a thousand times easier than doing the same with a drug cartel. So I say we just abolish IP law.

You are actually as bad as Eric. You understand that your example only works where there is no legal product, available, at all, ever and no legal alternatives? If there was a legal alternative for weed at $1 a pound, do you honestly think anyone would line up to be illegal $1000 an ounce stuff?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c973 Mon, 20 May 2013 01:39:47 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c973 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c958 Mon, 20 May 2013 01:38:35 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c958 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c935 Mon, 20 May 2013 00:58:56 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c935

It's easy to dish out the shit, but not so easy if it's directed at you.

In which case, it's not a good 'look' to be 'for' a cause, but not enough to stand up and put your name to it.

they can be a troll, and 'look like' a normal person in the real world.

Or they just don't have enough (metaphorical) BALLS to stand up for something they believe in and put their name to it.

Whereas people like Masnick trashed his reputation years ago, and clearly does not care how he appears to people.

Also masnick does not get out much, could use some sunlight, and of course lose the comb over.

Masnick is in his little rut and proud of it, the author of this article is in the same rut, but feels sufficient SHAME to want to keep his/her identity secret.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c889 Mon, 20 May 2013 00:31:01 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c889
