  I neither look nor sound my age (which is a great comfort to my vanity). Does this mean my opinion doesn't count?
  
  If it makes you feel any better, this troll is irritating me too. I've stopped myself answering four or five times.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Hrm

  I was mistaken about the method. Looks like a global blackout is the favored method at this time.

  Users' protest. We users were asked what we wanted to do. Last I checked we'd voted "yes" by quite a margin. Favorite was to black out the US and put up a banner worldwide.

  I'm looking through the list of common logical fallacies trying to find one this argument doesn't violate. I think I found one! It's the If-By-Whiskey fallacy.

  It's well known the Internet is only used for downloading porn and stealing music and movies. So there's no reason it would have an effect anyway.

  Why, are geeks particularly violent people?
  
  Most of the geeks I know would be thrilled to show off. Geeks like sharing things, particularly things they like.

  Re: Re: Re:

  And a registration requirement. Right now everything you write is automatically copyrighted. This message you're reading now is copyrighted. WHY? I don't consider it worth copyrighting, I don't want it copyrighted, it's STUPID. It shouldn't be copyrighted unless the author spends the $2 or whatever and sends in a copy and fills out the forms. It's cheap, it's simple, but it requires more effort than simply typing it.
  
  And the copyright terms were limited to a few years. I forget exactly, 14? 20? Certainly not 70 years plus the heat death of the universe.
  
  Here is some light reading on the subject of extended copyrights.
