my cynicism isn't over the lobbyists: it's over the voters.
the majority of voters, also known as "artists", will ensure their welfare system keeps giving them pennies (while their publishers take the cream from the top).
To them, they can't see beyond the welfare system. To them, everyone's a "thief", only out to take things for free. These are the same voters who'll back the lobbyists because they allow the cream to be taken for their "survival".
I don't think they're aware of realms of existence outside their basement, hence the generalization.
Aye. You'd better start looking for an alternative to your hand, AC.
War on alcohol
War on drugs
War on piracy
Now war on porn
People love to throw money away, don't they?
OMG! FREETARD! If you don't pay me to make posts I will have no reason to post!
Yeah! Those dirty pirates! While we're at it, do you think you could give $5 for this post?
Also R180-G6-B47 (hue 346) could work too.
Hah. I think it's pretty telling how dumb a trademark is when it makes so many different people ask similar questions.

What happens when all three primary colors have been trademarked?
Careful it's not SHINY red paint. Or you will be sued for infringing on Dorothy.
Pretty sure R180-G55-B6 (Or hue 17) is safe to use.
We should counter by patenting breathing, that way everyone would be fucked. As a result we will be sued for gazillions of dollars for infringing on their sex patent, but then we can counter sue them for infringing on our breathing patent (I'm under the assumption they aren't robots in disguise and need to breathe) thus creating a sue paradox.
Hopefully, it'll cancel itself out, and patents will cease to exist. Of course, it could just cause everyone and everything to be smashed into fifty billion pieces. Worth the risk IMO.
Duh. Consumers are unwashed peasants. They're too dumb to make their own decisions, that's why we need IP to ensure they're always supervised, else they'd just fling poo at the canvas.
If you don't like what is on offer, just do without it.
Yup. A really stupid hypocrite.

Abolishing copyright is the ultimate fix to cure piracy
In order for me to not care about it it'd have to totally ignore the internet. Which I might actually settle for.
But I don't see it happening, ever.
That'll never happen in our lifetimes, the current people in charge will do whatever it takes to ensure their kind stays in power.

And people only got off their butts because Facebook and Google went down. Any other time they wouldn't give a damn what law passed, picking their friends crops on Farmville and/or watching porn is too important.
