In fact about half the sentences in the last two paragraphs are actually questions. At most he uses this incident to suggest that this new law is too vague and may be used or overused with unintended results.
Kinda like how this comment section is intended for people to discuss the articles, but is instead used or overused by people who think simply because they can comment or post online, they should.
You are herby notified that "DMCA" and more specifically "DMCA takedown" are copyrighted terms that you are using in violation of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. You are ordered to remove all references to the above named Thing About the Thing that Covers Stuff, or TATCS, which is also a copyrighted term. As counsel to the injured I will be sending you settlement letters before contacting a judge, which is my copyrighted method.
The difference is in the goals. PBS wants to entertain children while teaching them values, numbers, and the alphabet. NPR aims to bring "important stories, insight and delight to audiences everywhere" (Quote from their site). While the money spent on the Army racing programs ($12m total a year between NASCAR and drag racing teams) goes to machines that eat gas, rubber, and metal to recruit 46,000 of our young adults a year to be shot or exploded in foreign countries that have no direct value to their lives.
Which is more important to our current elected officials: smart, independent, and informed citizens? or more cogs for their war machine?
Thanks to Tech Dirt for all their great reporting on this exploitation of copyright law and thanks to Mike Masnick for this article. If everyone could please share or tweet this story, we need more people to know about this!
Sadly the lawyer Evan Stone is not the same as the actor Evan Stone. The lawyer Evan Stone became a lawyer on May 5th of 2010 simply to run this racket-like lawsuits. This is all detailed in my open letter to Larry Flynt, which is the last link in the story. I appreciate everyone who cantake the time to read it.
