"Coming up with the content of an enabling disclosure for multi million dollar pieces of equipment can be about 10 million apiece. How does that factor into your thinking?"
In my thinking the original multi-million dollar pieces of, ahem, equipment probably should've been able to be produced for much less. Your thinking is a black hole of circular logic.
Dave, your experience IS narrow. A fully efficient market will produce the goods demanded by society at the lowest possible cost. Giving you a monopoly artificially suppresses supply, inflates prices, and causes you to overproduce at an artificially high cost to the detriment of the rest of the market.
So you would immediately evict someone upon an unsubstantiated report that comes to you as a form letter from a corporation that mass produces form letters telling you that your paying tenant is a crack dealer?
No, you would do what you are able to do under the law. You notice your tenant that you will be inspecting the premises, at least 24 hours in advance as required by law. Oddly, 24 hours later you find no crack and no signs of crack or anything that would lead you to suspect crack dealing, and THEN YOU DO NOTHING.

1)Not punishing a paying customer without verifiable proof of wrongdoing and without legitimate authority to obtain proof hardly constitutes direct, knowing support.
2) Actually in any lawsuit, baseline due diligence is a burden born by the serving party, not the party being served. There are of course statutory requirments. For example a corporation generally must register an agent for service in any state where they do business. That would indeed be the appropriate place to begin legal process serving. Pretending that an internet standards board somehow redefines statutory requirements for operating a business is absurd.
And you are thinking in terms of European politics. Paris is worth a mass?
Let's translate your terms into American: You think that it would be a likely trade(specifically to those you oddly presume to be Libertarians) to grant a whole new article's worth of powers to the federal government just to re-secure freedom of speech, which we ought still to have?
You ask me to trade a good leg to pacify a slasher who wants my arm? I think I'll feed him you instead.
"Sorry, but asking a socialist about copyright is like asking a Republican't about welfare. if they could find some way to get rid of it, they would, no matter the cost."
What the hell are you talking about?? Free sharing of files and ideas for completely self-interested motives is capitalism, not socialism. Socialism sharing would be more like a centralized source of information where all other information is suppressed because it is obviously wrong or untrustworthy.
Bottom line, trademarks are NOT IP, they exist to protect customers from confusion within the same market. Sorry, but an amphibious tour in the bay area is nowhere near the same market as one in Georgia.
Or maybe it IS reasonable to think that people who get their jollies by quackin' a kazoo wouldn't know SF from GA, I don't know.
Actually the 12th man thing is way more legit than this.
12th man was actually a registered trademark that they used on licensed apparel, and was legitimately recognized by fans as an Aggie t-shirt. It's based on aggie history(?folklore) that when they were for some reason only able to field 10 players (was it illness, war, I don't remember) someone actually came down from the stands and was added to the roster.
Obviously current rules would not allow this, but that's the story. The point is that Aggie enthusiam is in fact manaically stupid, and they are proud of it, and it really is specific to their history, and is more than just a rowdy crowd.
Nope, included in the package is the certification that the record is true and accurate as performed in person by the reporter. It's no more work for hire than an improv concert performance.
It enters the picture because traditionally this has been the basis for court reporter's income. In most places the reporter is not a paid employee of the court, but a contractor and the court reporter's fees are calculated as part of the compensation.
"Though, as some note, this basically means that you should make sure any encryption on your laptop takes more than five days to crack."
Except that encryption that powerful probably violates encryption export/import laws, and at the very least it would probably get them an automatic extension.

It fits with the pro-privacy message, and it invokes the idea that there may be legitimacy to what is too commonly called piracy.
