"That's really funny, because I have been saying the same throughout the duration of this asinine thread."
Oh, really?
You're not the guy who used to say stuff like, "F#$% IP law, we don't need to obey such fascist drivel as that trash currently on the USC," and, "Just because you invented something does not give you a right to profit from it," and then claim a right to infringe on copyights, "your first amendment right to publish any writing or artistic work that does not endanger the national security of the United States or cause a clear and present danger to public safety. Copyright infringement does neither," and, "The moment your legislators decided that my right to publish scientific findings was to be sacrificed to protect your 'property' was the moment I decided your 'property rights' don't mean a damn thing," and, "Your 'property' is a parasite that exists only to destroy the Bill of Rights," and, "I have a problem with people telling me I cannot publish any paper I want to as long as it falls within the guidelines of what is protected by the first amendment," (which you have already redefined) and then you wax really marxical with, "Software, music, movies, etc should not be treated really any differently from anything else that is sold. Buy a copy of OfficeXP? It should be yours to install on every PC you own."
And then, out of the blue, you contradict all of your vile rant by claiming that, " I have no problem with going after Napster, AG, Chinese bootleggers etc."
And now you have the gall to claim that you've been saying "the same" thing throughout this thread?
What a comedian!
But then you have to go and ruin the mood by puking up a very paranoid hairball.
I said:
"In any event, please report back after the dust settles, it will really brighten our day!" following my musing over when/if the feds would visit you over your "firing squad" ravings WRT the former President (which they are known to follow up, with gusto).
To which you replied, in full paranoid dress:
"Hmmm, sounds like a bad attempt at a threat. Good for a chuckle. Had that come from Bush2000, I'd have just laughed since I would have known he was being tongue-in-cheek about it. I think you are actually taking yourself seriously...."
You're a real piece of work, tovarish!
#1, I believe people should disobey unconstitutional laws. #2, I do not believe that IP protection is a right, but I do believe physical property protection very much is. #3 I believe that in every single instance physical property rights and civil rights such as free speech/firearm ownership must supercede IP protection because IP is a social convention, not a natural right which we are all born with (as is the case with physical property). #4 I have no respect for your IP priveleges if they conflict with the natural right of any individual to publish scientific findings or to manufacture legitimate products (ie anything other than WMDs, kiddie porn and stuff like that).
To which you replied, in full paranoid dress:
LOL! Calm down. ASCII is not good for displaying emotions. I really didn't take you seriously. I knew that you weren't going to try some $hit like report me. I was just screwing with your head. It's something I do for $hits and giggles.
