  Re: Re: Cue screams of "legalizing piracy" in 3... 2... 1...

  um, gnudist, you ARE a private according to the MAFIAA: you listen to/watch media; therefore, you are a pirate and a criminal, and should pay. And pay big. Really big. Just empty your pockets right here, while we empty your accounts. No, you get no lube, either.

  This United States is becoming the Soviet Union:
  
  --You invent something, the State gets it.
  --Keep your mouth shut, you get to stand in lines for toilet paper for a few more months.
  --Complain, and the State sends you to Wyoming (n?e Siberia).
  --Complain some more, and the State kills you.
  --Meanwhile, the C̶E̶O̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶l̶a̶w̶y̶e̶r̶s̶ Politiburo members get rich off your work.
  --Once in a while, they send the police to search your tenement and give you a beating, for good measure--I mean, they gotta keep the proles down, right??
  
  Sound about right?
  
  Sound about right?

  Re: Re: Why not?

  So someone needs to make a time machine to go forward in time and find infringements so they can initiate the lawsuits now; and thereby have the monetary damages waiting for them in an account when the time comes!!
  
  Imagine the possibilities!! Taking loans against future collateral! Arrested for future crimes! Convicted and executed in Texas for rustling stuff patented in the future by someone from the past!!
  
  The trolls will have a field day!

  Re: Re: So software industry has matured...

  Personally, I think we should break their legs if they file frivolous patent lawsuits, and lose.
  
  Imagine how many lawyers would balk at THAT!!

  Re: Re: Re: So software industry has matured...

  Problem is, capitalism is anarchy is it isn't bridled--meaning there MUST be some form of regulation to prevent the capitalists from doing unfair, unsavory, and/or illegal things to gain their monopoly (Microsoft, MAAFIA, SCO, Apple, etc).
  
  If you like companies waging open warfare on their competitors and customers, then you like this step with the PTO. Otherwise, you need to make your voices heard, and get those bastards out of office.

  Wow, I guess what we pay him with our taxes must not be enough, if he has to t̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶i̶b̶e̶s̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶M̶A̶F̶I̶A̶A̶ supplement his income through questionable sources.

  Re: Re: Oh, you want to be reasonable?

  They are intrinsically evil: they are based on subjugating people into sameness and indoctrination, then performing bad acts to take the most money possible away from everyone while providing the worst product possible.
  
  Just like the original corporations: churches.
