Back to your statement that his running for senate is proof of blah blah blah? Remember, he started all this BEFORE the US tried extradicting him. Doesn't that put the lie to your assumption?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/04341921372/julian-assange-moves-forward-plans-to-run-senate-start-wikileaks-political-party.shtml#c562 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 06:15:56 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/04341921372/julian-assange-moves-forward-plans-to-run-senate-start-wikileaks-political-party.shtml#c562 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121210/07241221330/my-little-pony-fan-game-shut-down-hasbro-over-trademark.shtml#c329 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 16:06:44 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121210/07241221330/my-little-pony-fan-game-shut-down-hasbro-over-trademark.shtml#c329 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Goodall#Gary_Larson_cartoon_incident]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/12173921379/live-patent-die-patent-apple-loses-patent-lawsuit-over-sony-nokia-patents.shtml#c530 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 06:39:15 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/12173921379/live-patent-die-patent-apple-loses-patent-lawsuit-over-sony-nokia-patents.shtml#c530 "It doesn't merely reboot your iPhone or iPod, it clears the whatever is left suspended or stuck while processing data through RAM."

Wow, that's... exactly what happens when you reboot... ANYTHING. What's 'stuck while processing data through RAM' doesn't miraculously stay in RAM, or there'd be no reason to reboot in the first place. That isn't unique to iOS.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/12173921379/live-patent-die-patent-apple-loses-patent-lawsuit-over-sony-nokia-patents.shtml#c500 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 06:21:56 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/12173921379/live-patent-die-patent-apple-loses-patent-lawsuit-over-sony-nokia-patents.shtml#c500 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/12173921379/live-patent-die-patent-apple-loses-patent-lawsuit-over-sony-nokia-patents.shtml#c467 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 06:17:22 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/12173921379/live-patent-die-patent-apple-loses-patent-lawsuit-over-sony-nokia-patents.shtml#c467 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/08062721376/let-congress-know-that-now-is-time-to-fix-copyright-not-to-put-their-head-sand.shtml#c271 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:59:59 PST http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20121213/08062721376/let-congress-know-that-now-is-time-to-fix-copyright-not-to-put-their-head-sand.shtml#c271
(Doubt you know the origins of it without looking it up, either, dipwad.)]]> http://www.techdirt.com/blog/casestudies/articles/20121210/12422821338/infographic-people-will-pay-to-support-creators-even-when-free-is-option.shtml#c466 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 01:39:07 PST http://www.techdirt.com/blog/casestudies/articles/20121210/12422821338/infographic-people-will-pay-to-support-creators-even-when-free-is-option.shtml#c466
1) This is an instance where you had the opportunity to show up and at least admit that you could be wrong. You're not doing that, so you're just showing yourself up to be the troll we all know and love.

2) The weenies you speak of, those would be the middle-men, yes? The publishing houses, the recording studios and their ilk? Because they 'steal' a hell of a lot more from artists than any infringement ever could. (Huge influence my ass.)

3) Copyright is automatic, as you well know. Otherwise the barb was rather pointless, but in the spirit of you and others accusing everyone who posts here of being a pirate.

4) I agree that numbers would be nice, but from there you just devolve into a little jerk, again.

5) No idea where you got the notion it only covers two days. It says 'based on ebook sales as of December 7,' which says nothing of when it started. You are suggesting that the Insider Shop started offering ebooks on the 5th, and never once before that? Care to back that up?

6) More baseless supposition attacking stated facts.

Of course, in your world everything will show up on TPB to be pirated away without a care, even if it's already being offered legally for free.
