We have enough tech here in the Wasatch Front area that if he gets public with this message he might have a chance.
Also there is a strong movement amongst the delegates to the state republican convention to make sure that what happened to Bennett 2 years ago (he didn't make it past the first round of voting and just stood there crying) is repeated.
Hatch has been backpedaling on a lot of issues to try to keep his job but most people aren't buying it.
If they were real scientists instead of pseudo-scientists they would do their own research and discoveries they would not need to steal material from others. This is just more anti SOPA FUD from Masnick.
This explains why the recent push to use the tearm "IP" for everything.
The next step will be to lump it all together as IP. No need for separate patent and copyright when they really are just IP which must be protected since it is the future of our country.
Think of it life + 100 for everything, automatic patent protection, gatekeepers for everything....hmmmm Maybe average_joe saw this coming?
I've wondered that as well. Either the stress of law school has him teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown, or he passed the account off to a different shill. Either way it makes me sad to watch.
If you spent any time at all around American kids you would know they don't spend $10 a decade on megaupload or any other site. They spend their $10 on Jimmy Johns, or 5 Guys but the only money they spend on "American creative industries" is when they all go to the dollar store and load up on snacks to go see a double feature at the dollar movies.
Actually, given that just about everyone that has read PIPA or SOPA is either admatley against them or religiously for them....I think it is a fair statment to say the majority od Senators do not realize what is in the bill.
remeber average_joe, you are probably at least twices as intelligent as the average congressperson.

We do have a note here from our nephew Chip explaining why he had to replace all of our hard drives because of a power surge we had.
We think he may have set the date wrong on our computers too that's why we keep missing deadlines.
