Do We Need A World Court For Intellectual Property?
from the well,-we-may-have-one-anyway dept
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Why again is IP some mystical thing that levitates above government?
Makes perfect sense. But there's that pesky Sixth Amendment that needs to be dealt with. How do you think they will circumvent it?
"...of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed..."
Stay tuned for more developments!

Violations of intellectual property for the most part are civil wrongs, not crimes.

April Fool's joke
This is one of the reasons I read your blog; you are honest and straightforward!
Keep it up!

A perfectly understandable mistake
Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of pro-Intellectual Property arguments that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.

Busted!
Would that all of the crazy ideas that IP feeders propose were April fool's jokes. Sadly, most are true.
It's easy to spot a fake tree. It's harder to spot a fake tree planted in a forest.
