Think of the lawyers!!! Without patent law, they'd all be unemployed!!!
We need to keep everything locked up. If 1 thing got out into public domain, that would be one less thing we can sue for...We'd have to downsize the IP Lawyer division and they'd be forced to get real jobs!!!
I have an idea...You don't want a bad review written about you? Don't be a bad Real Estate rep!!!
This goes for everyone else in the "service" industry. Treat your customers with respect and they'll more than likely write a good review. Treat them like crap, and that's what you'll get in the review.
We really need to come up with a punishment for false infringment charges. That'll stop a lot of these patent trolls in thier tracks
"I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner."
This right here should be enough to stop all the false takedown notices. I guess the information is accurately incorrect. So that's how they get around the purjury bit.
Or wearing your socks on the other foot. Maybe they should start sewing in "L" and "R" so we know what foot belongs in which sock. If you don't wear compatible shoes with said socks, there should be all sorts of alarms that go off.
I'd better stop now before someone reads this and gets some wacky ideas.
It's stuff like this that ruins vacations. I have a cousin that's on vacation in Amsterdam and she posted in her blog, "So there wont be many pics posted from Amsterdam...the things worth taking a picture of aren't allowed and the things you are allowed to take a picture of arent worth it."
If it's outside and you don't have to pay admission to see it, you should be able to take pictures, paint, draw, take impressions, or whatever. Copyright has it's uses, but over the years, there have been too many restrictive changes made that it's actually hurting what it's supposed to protect these days.
There are so many inequities and possibilities for discrimination that no one in their right mind would allow this in the business world. So why allow it in the government world?
Because the Government is no longer run "By the people, for the people." It's run "By the lobbyists, for the Corporations."
Yep, that's exactly what I do...Pop the DVD in, make a sandwich, grab a soda. By the time I come back It's usually at the menu screen. I even consider the previews they put at the beginning a waste. Chances are, I've already seen the preview on the internet, or on the rare occasions where I actually stop fast forwarding through commercials to watch a trailer for a movie that seems interesting.
It's just that now, as the vulnerabilities are finally getting press attention, that the TSA starts to pretend to take these things seriously, rather than admitting the truth: they're there for show more than anything else.
What part of "theatre" do you not understand in "Security Theatre". Last I checked, we go to the "theatre" for entertainment...

Not to mention, most MMORPG (Massive Muliplayer Online Role Playing Games) use torrents to distribute game client patches.
Sorry RIAA, torrents aren't going ANYWHERE anytime soon.

If you take into account that the Java/Android case is going mostly in their favour."
That's like counting a goal before it's scored...
It's 1-0 right now...A very good chance it'll end up 2-0 in the near future though.

If they did that in the US, we'd have no politicans or lawyers...Wait, this is a bad thing?

If this passes, It's going to be fun to see Anonymous broadcast FBI and NSA's phone calles for all to hear...
Besides, we all know the FBI, NSA, and CIA don't work well with others...or each other.
