*Snort* That's rich, coming from someone who can only attack a person and calls them a moron.
The only thing anyone can take from this is that you are the one with an IQ just above room temperature and you keep lashing out at people because you feel insecure about yourself.
And those menial labor jobs? Yeah, there's no reason to be ashamed to do them.
Why?
Because someone has to do them.
Fast food, newspaper delivery, Fed Ex/UPS/USPS (package delivery), cashier, ticket taker, ETC. Yes, they aren't the best jobs.
But they have to be done.
And, just so you know, I live pretty well off for doing "menial" jobs. After all, I live in a house, I don't live with my parents (which is more than I can say for you), I have a job, and I can get stuff that I want fairly easily.
1: That site is a Copyright Apologist website that uses terms such as Big Tech and Copytheft (to describe those who wish to reform the Copyright system), therefore, it loses credibility instantly. (not to mention that when it says "Big Tech", it just means Google.
2: Why should culture be locked up forever? DO you know how long culture has been under copyright? 4 Generations. My grandmother, my mother, myself, my cousins, my brothers, my cousins' children, my niece and my children were all in the same room this last summer, and I realized that NONE of us had ANY works that were created, in OUR lifetimes, enter the Public Domain. And my grandmother is in her 70s. That makes zero sense, considering that if works such as the original Star Trek (made in the 60s) was in the Public Domain, well, just think about Marvel's crossovers with Star Trek. They wouldn't have to pay the Roddenberry estate any money if the original Star Trek was in the Public Domain. Also, think about this, Roddenberry died about 3 decades ago. So, for another 40 years (at minimum), Star Trek is under copyright. How does that make sense? (BTW, Star Trek, TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise were all thought up by Roddenberry before he died. How much NEW Star Trek has been seen since Enterprise ended? Just that one movie.)
3: Copyright, in and of itself, is not bad. It guarantees that creators are compensated for their works. However, the current copyright system is so broken that it makes no freaking sense!
For example, the song Eternal Blaze was sung by Japanese pop singer Nana Mizuki as the opening theme song to the anime "Lyrical Nanoha A's", which was created by the company 7Arcs.
And yet, when that song on Youtube gets taken down, it's not 7Arcs or Nana Mizuki (or the songwriter, if there was one other than Nana Mizuki) that issued the DMCA takedown notice.
It's King's Records. Who are they? The distributors (via Sony) of Nana Mizuki's records.
WHY THE HELL DO *THEY* HAVE COPYRIGHTS ON ETERNAL BLAZE?!
When you can have over 10 people claim copyright to one song, then things are so screwed up that something needs to be fixed.
I'm not even going to go into djazz1, the Megaupload case, or how Richard O'Dwyer (who was doing LEGAL STUFF IN THE U.K.) was treated.
Copyright in its current form is a mutated, rabid beast that needs to be fixed of its problems...

Last I checked, an IQ of over 120 was not borderline retarded.
Unless that changed.

Otherwise he'd spend YEARS in jail, get labeled a felon and LOSE the ability to work in most places when he got out.
You DO realize that people with felony charges on them lose a LOT of rights, don't you?
Including...
The right to VOTE!!

Couldn't agree with you more on this.
But, let me give you 3 points to your whole post.
