With "gun control" in the news so much these days, this one's starting to go around again. It should certainly make you think....
The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. Yes, that is 80 million. The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is 0.0000188.
The number of physicians in the U.S. is approximately 700,000. The number of accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are approximately 120,000. The number of accidental deaths per physician is 0.1714286.
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners. Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."
Fact: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand. Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention. http://www.jumbojoke.com/health_hazard.html
Intellectual Property Tax or Public Domain. Take your pick.
"Now then, what would you like to value that song at? Retroactive? Yes, of course. Isn't that how it has worked when granting extensions to the term length?"
"I imagine there would no such limit for corporations."
That is where the investors role comes in. Corporations don't play with their own money.

"As a result, one can infringe a copyright through culpable actions resulting in the impermissible reproduction of copyrighted expression, whether those actions involve making available a device or product or providing some service used in accomplishing the infringement."
"MY POINT is that the decision should be up to the individual business as to whether or not they give their product or service away for free."
I agree! They should also mind their own business and not bother getting laws and regulations to dictate what can or cannot be done by individuals and to limit competition.
