Sorry, my hand slipped on my overly sensitive keyboard.
But, my point is this: The ruling pisses me off for reasons other than my wanting gardens copyrighted. What pisses me off is that this proves that most of the other cases, where the courts, the congress and even damn diplomats are pushing to sue and pull people off the internet are only viable because they are backed by the strong-arms of the RIAA and MPAA.
If the laws were consistent and set precedent, this guy should have won. Perhaps, if it got to that point, people would pay more attention and demand better laws.
I don't know, but I'd guess if landscapers had a huge lobby behind them, the situation would be a whole lot different.
Spoken like a true Machiavellian, well, except for the "Anonymous Coward" part. Fuck, yeah! Let's achieve freedom through totalitarianism, because there's nothing like a Democracy of Hypocrisy complete with fireworks and what's-his-face sickeningly warbling on about "Thank God I'm an Ameeerican where at least I know I'm free"?
