  I know for sure KFC had boneless chicken (in some form) on their menu much earlier than 2013. I used to eat their Colonel's Strips meals as a kid in the mid-to-late '90s.

  Re: The usual routine

  And then they go bawling to Congress about how other countries are more ahead of the game than we are and we need even tougher, more oppressive copyright laws.
  
  I'm still waiting for them to declare copyrights to be permanent...

  Re: Re: You got it slightly wrong.

  That or government-sponsored troll. I remember a few years back one now-derelict blog was plagued by commenters posting messages like My Name Here's, and the owner ran whois on the posters' IP addresses and he found that all of them were connected to DHS.

  It's still name-calling and name-calling is always uncalled for. You can disagree with someone without resorting to outright insults.

  Re: Re: Vaccination Benefits Society, Not The Individual

  Um, yeah, they can, and are.
  I don't know where you live, but here in the US kids are given the Hepatitis B vaccine within a few hours of birth.

  Re: Boycott them

  Should be fairly easy since German music is fairly difficult to find here in the States.

  If that's not blackmail. I don't know what is.

  Re: Re: Ugh

  No, it won't. They'll search your house, your car, your friends', family's and neighbors' houses, the list goes on.
  
  Of course they'll make the body search as humiliating as possible.

  Re: Copyright > human life?

  It's well established that the parties who drafted this treaty don't give a rat's ass about human life. Back in 2003 they murdered a guy whom they accused of bootlegging DVDs in a storage locker.

  Re: Re:

  They used to. My mom had one back in the 70s she called "Petit Rouge."
  I think they pulled out of the US market sometime around 1982.
  
  IIRC Renault is co-owned by Nissan now. From what I can see the car looks strikingly similar to the Nissan Leaf that's for sale in the US. I've heard no word on Nissan using the same tactic with batteries for the Leaf...

  Re: Re:

  I think your comment misfired. This thread is about a would-be Colorado politician abusing copyright law to silence his critics.

  Ladies and gentlemen, this is why I no longer fly.
  Yes I've been cut off from family members for it, but it's a worthy sacrifice to preserve my civil liberties.

  Re: public school

  Even that won't help. I went to a tiny private school for HS and we did random unscheduled drug sweeps and drills.
