  Copy in Copyright Office?

  on Ridiculous Copyright Fight Still Keeping The Only Video Of The First Super Bowl Locked Up
  If the original work was registered 50 years ago, wouldn't there be a physical copy deposited with the Copyright Office?

  Real Reason

  on Author Of To Kill A Mockingbird Sues Agent For Swiping Her Copyright
  I'm just glad to see that the long copyright term is so clearly encouraging this artist to create new works, thereby benefiting society.

  on Sen. Dan Coats On The Boston Bombing: You Know Who We Need To Keep An Eye On? Loners.
  I'm much more concerned with extroverts seeking political power. History has taught us to watch them very closely.

  How about on Bills

  on Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donors
  Why not on the Bills that lobbyists influence? We know that lobbyists submit draft language to congress members. They should take credit.
  
  For example we could have the Walt Disney and Sony Music Copyright Reform Act of 2013. with big full color logos on the first page.

  on Copyright Enforcement Bots Seek And Destroy Hugo Awards
  That's not fair. An IP maximalist would never steal from big Rx by buying generic drugs.

  Then the obvious solution

  on AT&T Argues That More Competition Is Bad For You & Leads To Higher Prices
  Therefore, the obvious solution is for AT&T to hand over its spectrum to Verizon.

  Re: Re: Re: Who says the Beastie Boys are in the clear?

  on As A Tribute To MCA: Can We Stop The War On Sampling?
  Actually, all samples are a sign of respect for the original artist, as well as free advertising that could not possibly result in a lost sale.

  Re: Re: This case should even be a case

  on C&D Squashes Seuss-Style Satire: Where Did The Idea/Expression Dichotomy Go?
  But now you force this kind of evil-doer to murder all of the heirs, so that there is no one to left with standing for the lawsuit.
  
  Think of the children.

  This is God

  on Lester Chambers, Successful Musician Who Received No Royalties From '67 To '94, Planning To Sue
  This is your Lord speaking.
  
  I declare that pirating music is no longer a sin, as long as you donate to a group like Sweet Relief that directly aids musicians. Know that the RIAA and their minions will face my wrath for these acts (vengeance is mine after all).
  
  Of course, IANAL, so consult a professional before downloading.

  Seems redundant

  on Czech Government Suspends ACTA Ratification
  I'm confused. Since this is just an executive agreement, why do the legislatures need to ratify ACTA?

  on Entertainment Industy Back To Demanding That Search Engines Censor The Web... Through 'Voluntary' Measures
  Actually, it's funnier as "Expect us!"
  
  It made them sound like Anonymous.

  I would love to see the court filing for that lawsuit.

  on TSA Decides Terrorists Must Be Driving; Partners With Tenn. Law Enforcement To Randomly Search Vehicles
  I just meant that only a month ago, I thought I was making a joke in suggesting that the TSA would start searching cars.
  
  Yet here we are.

  Re: The Progression

  on TSA Decides Terrorists Must Be Driving; Partners With Tenn. Law Enforcement To Randomly Search Vehicles
  I swear I made nearly this identical post just a month ago, when TSA started at Bus stops.
  
  At this rate "don't walk in public" will be added by the end of the year.

  Twist on one of my favorites

  Check out my new Beer

  on Anheuser-Busch Trying To Trademark Area Codes For Local Beers
  I've decided to market my own classic American pilsner. It's called:
  
  1-800-DIAL-BUD
  
  I just registered the trademark this morning. I'm asking the techdirt community to please let me know if anyone is stealing my mark.

  on Who Do You Trust On Whether Or Not PROTECT IP Will Break The Internet? The Guys Who Built It... Or The MPAA?
  The problem is that the experts keep forgetting to explain the internet as "a series of tubes" so that congress will understand.

  on Righthaven Loses Again (Yes, Again), With Another Judge... But Immediately Refiles Lawsuit
  As a normal citizen, I don't care about the legal details. I just want to license some of Righthaven's intellectual property. I've been trying for months to contact them to get permission to reproduce some of the articles they own. They never reply.
  
  If I didn't know about all of these lawsuits, I'd think they weren't even in the business of licensing their valuable content.

  on How Copyright Lobbyists Are Making The Child Porn Problem Worse

  Your increasing desperation is becoming really creepy, RIAA, MPAA, and other rent seekers.
  
  Trying to somehow imply that fair use/open source/public domain makes child pornography worse?
  
  Wow, just wow.

  
  
  There - fixed it for you, AC.
