The problem with all of these laws is that since they started any of this purported inactment (oh, since the printing press) is that all of them are still REACTIONARY. You can't, won't and NEVER will be the thought police. Not to mention the fact every time someone 'thought' of doing something we'd all be in the houskow (don't know if that's how you say or spell it).

How about each time someone came up with an idea that was crap, then several months/years down the road someone actually makes a silk purse out of a portion of said idea. All of the sudden the originating individual is supposed to get kudos for being a failure? I don't think so. Not to mention some dork that danced around & showed his ass at a dinner party or two to get you to pay attention supposedly get college tuition for his 58th great grand children?

At what melting point of F*k off do we have to get to tell these people go away?

Legitimate blood, sweat & tears (art & literature & equivalent) needs to be protected, there's no disputing that; but where the hell was all this pomp & circumstance when the REAL artists were supposed being represented by the alphabet Nazi's (& the likes) 'before' the consumers started being showered with repeated sales of the exact same songs/books/movies/etc...?

"THEY" did the work and yet we never hear about them celebrating any victories.
