"If there's a photograph up online of me, I own it." A scumbag who misrepresents patent law in order to shake down consumers would misrepresent copyright law in order to censor criticism?!?!? Nah. I don't believe it.
I actually just did this with Sims 2. Legally purchased the game years ago, but I lost the media during a move and needed to reinstall. Not every download is for pirating.
Decisions have been made, and they must be justified. Being wrong is not an option.
"Argo F*ck Yourself"
They've pulled Anonymous's teeth by pre-emptively DDOS'ing their own servers.
Who DIDN'T think this was a porn name?

Your logic is bad, and you should feel bad.
What it's really about is not increasing sales OR reducing piracy. It's about people in the music industry keeping their jobs. If they were hired to fight piracy... then they'll find piracy to fight, by god.
Delusional person continues to be delusional? You could have knocked me over with a fender.
Yo, dawg. I heard you like trademarks, so I put a trademark in your trademark so that I can brand while you brand.
Don't be a theaterd.
...to support his lawsuit against the label(s).
...should not be in close proximity. That's a banning.
I think you missed the sarcasm. Supreme Court: You can't patent math. Patent office: Patent granted for math. Conclusion: Supreme Court is wrong. By the rules of logic, it is a valid conclusion, but it is nevertheless absurd in the real world, which is what it was supposed to point out.
"we can always tell when a final game was created with a crack." Obviously not.
...is to boycott the Olympics and the official sponsors. And tell them that we're boycotting them.
...how empty our entertainment would be without ye.
One has to wonder how many midnight phone calls these guys received saying, "forcing NSA to report will force the NSA to report those calls you've been making to underage girls...."
I've simply stopped buying games. I don't pirate, either; I just find free alternatives. Plenty of free-to-play games out there, where I can decide whether or not I want to buy a skin or a character slot, or whatever.

EA's response is very human....

Obviously not.

Ah, narcisism...

It's not what the NSA knows about citizens... it's what the NSA knows about lawmakers
