Corporate media, and their wholly owned subsidiaries in congress, did overreach on the last few changes to copyright law, and it is going to end up hurting them.

Unfortunately, big media can afford to buy more legislation than citizens can.

Unfortunately, big media can afford to buy more legislation than citizens can.

And legislators. For example, the fairly recent extension of the life of a copyright, and suing 3,000 John Does.

The poster who remarked that such absurdities erode respect for the Law is correct.

In time, perhaps Big Media will not be able to pay the bribes, and we will be spared vexatious barratry by the likes of the RIAA. (Who even this moment, are puzzle by the warmth creeping up their leg, as I virtually urinate on them.)

No, I do not steal their content, myself, for the same reason I do not shoplift at flea markets-They have nothing I want.
