I think this is the kind of article that techdirt was created for. This is the article I would have wanted to send to my father. It's one of the clearest explanations of the drag of copyright I've seen here in a long time. Bravo Mike, this feels like the mission.

"Stop-and-frisk was awesome." Oh yeah! It was awesome the way a tank that wants to get into your pants is awesome. "If you feel targeted, it's probably because you look and act like a shitbird." Or maybe I'm just black or hispanic. Try reading the numbers as well as looking at the pictures and the headlines "You think NYC innovated this?" We don't care, we're just happy they've stopped "Try that act in a small Southern town and you'll see stop-and-frisk in action for real. It's a logical and useful response to bullshit in the streets..." There really is very little bullshit in the streets of NYC. Perhaps you're thinking of Pamplona "alternate responses CLEARLY not forthcoming from second-guessers like yourselves." It's true that your post are not required to make sense, perhaps you could put aside your fugue state and join the conversation.
It's not like Adobe's an individual - they're working for the machine, so they get a pass. I'm sure they'll get around to prosecuting Adobe as soon as they're done with Microsuck and AP&P. If you're screwin' the public, well, you get the idear. Them public screwin' passes, they're not available to individuals.
How do you know this? Is 1% a figure that you've actually calculated, or one that, like most of your so-called proclamations, you've conveniently obtained from a secret compartment, the nature of I will encourage the group to speculate about with a fervor that exceeds the stench coming from your mouth/other device.
Oh, I forgot my ad-hom, you vacuous, coffee nosed, malodorous, pervert.
I hear many individuals blather about how this or that aspect of writing cursive, but what I don't hear is anyone - here or at the NYT saying what the magnitude, measure or amount of the difference is. This is the same as saying there is no difference at all, because magnitude is what we base our choices on, unless we make these changes for sentimental reasons, which is to say the craziest, most stupidest, most ignorant of what we choose these things for now. Certainly I would choose the candidate that was doing something useful. It's too bad that no one could use today's technology to make students' brainwaves wiggle like that doing something useful.
I think Hayden was misunderstood. What he meant to say was:
?If," ["the management consultant"] said tersely, ?we could for a moment move on to the subject of fiscal policy. . .? ?Fiscal policy!" whooped Ford Prefect. ?Fiscal policy!" The management consultant gave him a look that only a lungfish could have copied. ?Fiscal policy. . .? he repeated, ?that is what I said.? ?How can you have money,? demanded Ford, ?if none of you actually produces anything? It doesn't grow on trees you know.? ?If you would allow me to continue.. .? Ford nodded dejectedly. ?Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.? Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed. ?But we have also,? continued the management consultant, ?run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship?s peanut." Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down. ?So in order to obviate this problem,? he continued, ?and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances." The crowd seemed a little uncertain about this for a second or two until someone pointed out how much this would increase the value of the leaves in their pockets whereupon they let out whoops of delight and gave the management consultant a standing ovation. The accountants among them looked forward to a profitable autumn aloft and it got an appreciative round from the crowd.?
Leaf, meet flamethrower. Flamethrower, leaf. Now, make like a tree and get out of here.
The problem is that the American government is increasingly un-American. Can you not say that the DOJ hates us for our freedom? Further proof of victory for Osama. Long may he remain dead.
Check the site for the organization. oathkeepers.org is a group of current and former military and LE people and civilians whose 10 most important rules are about what they will NOT do.

Wait, the NSA will do the taking, and no compensation will be given.

If this is sanctioned by our government, our course will be clear.

Interesting. But wouldn't you prefer something a little more recent?
We are building a religion
We are building it bigger
We are widening the corridors
And adding more lanes
We are building a religion
A limited edition
We are now accepting callers
For these pendant key chains
To resist it is useless
It is useless to resist it
His cigarette is burning
But he never seems to ash
He is grooming his poodle
He is living comfort eagle
You can meet at his location
But you'd better come with cash
Now his hat is on backwards
He can show you his tattoos
He is in the music business
He is calling you "DUDE!"
"Comfort Eagle"
CAKE
