People who think there is something like copyright are on par with
people who think one or more deities exist, people who think that the
center of the earth consists of peanutbutter, etc...

Nobody who uses their brain will claim copyright, especially in case
of digital information. Copyright is for fascist motherfuckers who
have their head stuck up their arse. Computers are synonymous with
copyright infringment.
Just say NO to copyrights!

Copyrights Suck! Share information! Fuck copyrights!

I wonder - did you ever study philosophy at University level? It's just that
I'm impressed by your oratorical acumen. That's one of the finest examples
of socratic debate I've ever read in this thread.

I'd love to see the look on the RIAA's lawyers faces if they ever went head
to head with YOU! Wow!

Fortunately I don't live in the fascist police states of AmeriKKKa.
But there are copyright fascists in Europe too, even though they seem
to refrain from legislative harassment of individuals exchanging
information (movies, music, books, etc...) for noncommercial purposes.

And money is for fascists - therefore please hand all of yours to the
nearest charity.
While we're at it, possessions are evil too. Please give everything you own
to charity also.

Nobody can claim copyright is entirely evil and hold a credible position, but
copyright IS broken, and needs proper reform with a balance between the rights
of citizens to use 'their' culture, and the makers of that culture, instead of
the corporate fuck-frenzy that has been behind the recent changes of copyright
law.

I mean, it's actually illegal to rip a CD to MP3s to put on your iPod, in the
UK. Format shfting is not a permitted fair use for music.

If you're sharing music on p2p, that's illegal, but if you're ripping your
legally bought plastic disc to a different format, you're just as much of a
criminal.

All those people saying p2p is bad and wrong and so on, if they live in the UK
and own and use an mp3 player, are technically AS criminal as those they
denounce for file sharing.

Copyright is broken. Since the EUCD [DMCA etc.] it's become even more broken.

Copyright was never intended to extend 'patent' protections as has been granted under the
DMCA. It was intended to give the author a forced acknowledgement of the use of his
intellectual property by others using such for their ends. DMCA needs to be rolled back
to the original term as per our forefathers that drafted it originally, like the 'Bill of
Rights', no need to tinker away rights and freedoms just for the government's pleasure or
profiteer's advantage, as has been the stage of the last 35 years in the US. Mickey
Mouse getting life plus, that is a prison sentence that more than a few elected officials,
lobyists and corporate heads deserve that are currently in positions of authority in the
US according to our Constitution(but due to political connections may never see a judge,
much less an indictment). So if you are of voting age in the US, register and then
question directly the peeps you see running for office this year, make a choice based on
your summations of their responses, but vote this November. Our right to vote, is our
voice to change the way the crap rolls down hill, time for us to take tha power away from
corporate greed and gain by using our votes to pick better officials to elect, regardless
of party affiliation. Got a fear of the machines, as that Florida in 2000 did for the
crowning of Bush, then vote absentee(I am)..

as per usual all above is JMHO...

I do anything for money... I'd even kill myself if you pay me enough.
As soon as scientists invent universal duplication devices, so you can
duplicate arbitrary objects as easily as files are copied on a
computer, we can get rid of money for physical commodities too.

If it was up to the recording industry, you wouldn't even be allowed
to use your own brain without paying them for copyright infringement.
Use your brain while it's still legal!

The more you pay me, the faster I kill myself... start sending me
money and I'll start thinking about a comfy way to self-terminate.

Speak for yourself. I'm not a big fan of the copyright laws, either.
