As has been pointed out, when your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. You'd think the nearby Home Depot or Lowe's could show them a few more options.
You have to wonder if the RSC was shown debunked numbers and believed them, leading them to claim it wasn't adequately reviewed. It wouldn't be surprising.
I hope this does come up in a bill for copyright reform so we can see where our representatives (or their controlling parties) really fall on these issues and we can know who to vote out.
You have to consider what they think of those who sign up for only Time Warner's internet. Do their opinions not matter, but those who want cable TV do?
So, "unflattering" and looking funny are the same? So, are many photos of monkeys and apes unflattering? How about some of these photos of kids with "duck lips" and the like?
Perhaps they're not getting the creators (artists) because they're paying the studio execs, MPAA people, and DHS and ICE, while trying their hardest to not pay artists. Next, we'll see politicians join them, if Chris Dodd doesn't rush that first.
While I can see people having issues with this, I don't see any resistance taking any form besides speech and complaining. As far as people opposing it in any other way, I doubt anyone will because they likely won't see the majority on their side and are generally afraid to be the first to move. I figure it's like the people who say that the government can take their guns 'from their cold, dead hands'. Most people will peacefully surrender their weapons, especially considering the police has the advantage of training, numbers, and equipment in which to apply the necessary force to scare those people.
Either way, people in America expect the government to protect them, even if they give everything up.
Because of this article, I found out about the game in the first place. By the fact that tinyBuild put there game out there, doing something interesting, it reached me and I decided to buy it, of course after seeing the trailer. I'd say they have a good idea and can use it.

Well, they keep asking about how they'll keep making the '$200 million movies'. I guess that's their only concern.

Am I the only one who thought of Tesla Coils and Tesla Tanks from Command & Conquer Red Alert 2? Prior art anyone?

I guess he thinks that he can make sure Linux boxes have that filter? Or just ban Linux?

One might say that turnabout is fair play. But, it wouldn't help the situation for anyone if we returned the favor.

I think Canada having a larger public domain might be what puts them on the 301 Report. Are they saying that the public domain is still piracy?
