Yes, but who cares, they are vampires that have been sucking the life out of artists for years. Is it bad for the Creators, fuck no it isn't, that's why the only ones you will hear bitching and moaning about it are the Super artists, like Metallica and Dr. Dre.
The completely pathetic and inept House of Representatives rammed through CISPA, waiting on Senate approval. Obama has said he will veto it, but you never can tell with this clown.
The government office in charge of copyright disagrees with your copyright expert: http://www.copyright.gov/docs/regstat090903.html
So let me see if i get this. You agree with the government? Just making sure. Because they are waaaaaay off on this one.
You have been told time and time again, but you are too dense for anything to sink in. Light bends around you. Jokes are not the issue, are you stupid? Your lame attempt to derail the issues has failed again. And . . . when you start trying to discredit me, we all know that you logic has failed and you are bereft of anything interesting.
Well, he doesn't . . . you think about that one for awhile and come to the conclusion that the rest of us did quite some time ago.
This has been answered time and time again by both of us. You are just being obstinate and are apparently to dim to distinguish between loaning and copying. Check the poll for this discussion, the majority disagrees with you, you have lost this argument and can offer nothing new.
You know, LSUpride123. For several posts you challenged me to talk about this issue without mentioning that the law agrees with me. So I did. All of a sudden, you're quoting lawyers to me. Let's get right down to the heart of the matter. I have spent the majority of my 25 years of adulthood in the television business. I'm now the GM of a small-town TV station, and part of my job has involved, not just producing episodes of established recurring programs, but the creation of programs from scratch. One of my shows is in its 24th year of production, and its been worthwhile, judging not only from the number of people who tell me they are regular viewers, but from the fact that it has been financially successful by attracting commercial sponsors. We also make a little extra money from people who directly purchase DVD copies of episodes from the station. I work my butt off on this show year-round, even though we only actually tape episodes for 6 months. The impact of my little ole local TV show is light-years distant from the impact of Carrie Underwood producing a CD, but the fundamental philosophy is the same. It is my show, and I can give it away if I want, or I can try to sell it. I'm not guaranteed a buyer, but the choice is mine. So on behalf of all producers of intellectual property I say to you, Martin, LaSalle and Mark Lemley, copyright expert at Stanford University, who the f--k are you to tell me you can take my work if I don't want to give it away? In my book you are a thief and beyond contempt. The end.
