Yeah, sure.
I hereby copyright A-Z, and a-z, and 1-9 and 0, inclusive!
And !@#$%^&*()_+:”<>?~.
So I should win, right?
And stupid laws and lawyers will continue to debase this country with laws that are an affront to every free person in this country, and they will do it unabated because we do NOTHING!
With all respects to the recently departed Ross Perot the real giant sucking sound has always been from the worse than unproductive being factually counterproductive legal community.
Sounds like the end of Free Repbublic. We will be the first target.
For some reason this doesn’t sound very citizen friendly, and smells more like the USSR!!
> with no option of appeal <
Huh? One of the foundations of the American judicial system is the right to appeal. Please Mr. Trump, veto this garbage.
BY THE SENATE? I figured it would be from the idiot congressrats! But not the senate!! Jeez you’d think they would be more concerned about the conservative censorship across the net instead of memes...WTH!!!

Sorry, pal. I have already copyrighted the - symbol. And you used it three times without my permission. Kindly forward to me $45,000 ($15,000 x 3). And a cashier’s check only, please.
So there would be nothing left of “public domain” materials? What if I make up a meme, fully intend for it to go viral, don’t want to make a dime off of it, and DON’T copyright it? The gubmint will make $30,000 every time it is copied?
First I’ve heard of this. Wouldn’t this conflict in many cases with Fair Use?
Probably have Fresno on the test target.
And a cashier’s check only, please.

OK, but if I use any of my letters or symbols, you can’t show it to the bank, without MY permission.
The solution is quite simple. Shut down the Internet.
I mean if the goal is to stop the flow of information, don’t just take a half step, take a full stride and shut it all down.

LOL. And that’s exactly where this new legislation is going. Your expensive lawyers are going to have to duke it out with my expensive lawyers. And the poor saps who can’t afford expensive lawyers, too bad for them. Those saps will just have to pay up.
