  on Yes, Copyright's Sole Purpose Is To Benefit The Public

  Who or what says you have to get paid for a copyright? You get exclusive rights for a limited time. Getting paid is a side benefit, not a right. It is NOT about getting paid.

  on Crony Capitalism: Big Companies Sponsor Fancy Dinner For TPP Negotiators

  I agree 100%. More and more it looks like it will take a public uprising to settle things. I am becoming more frustrated daily.

  on MPAA Hires Four Ex-Federal Government Employees, Including One From ICE & Another From The White House

  Another reason not to buy. Note I did not say another reason to pirate, but not to buy at all.

  on Sen. Joe Lieberman Asks Google For A 'Report Blog As Terrorist' Button

  "Or maybe it is time to admit that Congress doesn't understand the internet, is terrified by it, but seeks to exert some sort of control to feel empowered... only to end up looking like a bigger old fool."
  
  I agree 100 per cent. You can substitute Congress with RIAA or MPAA or any other AA. The internet is one of the best innovations of all time, yet some just don't get it.

  Re:

  on What If A Court Gave An Important Ruling, But We Were Not Allowed To Know What It Was?

  I have been stewing inside for a long time about the erosion of our rights. Nobody seems to notice or care.
  
  I get all my news from the internet, including techdirt- thanks Mike. The mainstream media have abandoned us. Much of society classifies you as a geek or a kook if you try to discuss these issues.
  
  I don't know when it will happen, but I am sure critical mass will be reached and the people will be heard. I hope I get to see it.
  
  I don't know where to start, but I know I need to get off my duff and do something. as do we all.

  As has been discussed here before and elsewhere, it is cheaper to settle than to fight a patent lawsuit.
