  on Authors Guild Gives Up Trying To Sue Libraries For Digitally Scanning Book Collection
  if Google scans books, someone may hack them and leak all those books to the world.
  
  And if someone prints books someone else might break into the warehouse and give them away willy nilly. Best stay on the safe side and just not publish at all.

  on UK Bill: Nursery Staff Must Let Us Know When Toddlers Are At Risk For Becoming Terrorists
  The Nanny State isn't a term you're supposed to take literally, governments.

  on Congress Gave Boy Scouts Special Law To Let Them Be Obnoxious Trademark Bullies
  Wow. Way to construe there. Fine. THE LEADERS ARE ENTITLED LITTLE SHITS. Nowhere did I say the kids were, and neither did I say it was the kids' fault. In fact, I questioned why people let their kids join in the first place, given the type of organisation it seems to be.

  on Another 'Internet Threat' Results In Six Months In Jail And A Five-Year Ban From Social Media
  Don't forget though, you're talking about TERRORISM in conjunction with FOR THE CHILDREN. He's probably lucky he didn't get the death penalty, just in case, and also to make an example.
  
  I also wish that that would forever be a joke, but I feel that it may be reality in the not too distant future.

  on Congress Gave Boy Scouts Special Law To Let Them Be Obnoxious Trademark Bullies
  Wow. What a bunch of entitled little shits they are. Why do people allow their kids to join that organisation, given what I've seen from my (completely non-US) spot? Then again, given that they seem to be run by a group that favours conformity over all else, probably shouldn't be surprised.

  on A Tale Of Two Hit Songs Inspired By Past Hits... And The Very Different Way In Which Copyright Holders Reacted
  I know it's been said a million times before, but the fact that the ESTATE can continue to control an artist's work is just wrong. They had nothing to do with it, so they should just STFU and go contribute something useful instead of just claiming on what their forebears did. Marvin Gaye did the work, the credit & reward should stay with him and no one else.

  on UK Home Office Says Miranda's Detention 'Fully Justified,' Attacks Press And Public For Condoning Snowden's Leaks
  Hmm. I really do think it is about time for the general citizenry to start enacting their own anti terror laws & start pulling down a few governments. They forget that the only reason they are there is because we let them be there. We can change that state of affairs pretty quickly, should we choose.

  on Secret Service Interviewed Aaron Swartz's Friends About Guerilla Open Access Manifesto
  Just proves that what governments want, more than anything, is an uneducated population. They're much easier to control. That is true the world over.

  on How Important Are YouTube Game Videos To Game Companies?
  Any publishers that thought about taking down videos might as well fold their company & have done with it. Those things are free advertising, and if they make an even halfway decent game there isn't an advertising budget anywhere on the planet that could convince people to play as much as some of those videos out there.

  on Blind Fear Of Cyberwar Drives Columnist To Call For Elimination Of The Internet
  Hmm. So, to further his argument, & since terrorism is the major object of fear these days...
  
  Some terrorists want to blow up parts of (for argument's sake) the US.
  
  What the US should do is aim its nukes at itself & get rid of itself first, before the terrorists can.
  
  Makes perfect sense.

  on Hollywood Studios Send DMCA Takedowns Over Kim Dotcom's Mega Service
  Piracy? I use Mega to store photos & videos of my children. So, go fuck yerself and have a nice day :-) That goes for anyone *cough*U.S.Government*cough*Hollywood*cough* who even thinks about removing my stuff by seizing the new Mega. I will have you up on all sorts of unpleasant things for taking my photos of my babies without my express permission.*
  
  *Yeah it won't work, but it's almost time to start trying their tactics.

  on New Zealand Wants New Spying Powers To Legalize Illegal Spying On Kim Dotcom And Others
  I really wish to hell that this country would get over it's current authoritarian ways (which we never used to have, btw), and do something about this bunch of corrupt incompetents. Enough of the bending over for the US, and enough of accepting stuff just because a bunch of people who lack the skills and/or aptitude to do anything else tell us so!
  
  I am actually amazed at how pervasive the moral arrested development is around the world.

  on McAfee Patents System To 'Detect And Prevent Illegal Consumption Of Content On The Internet'
  It's McAfee. How it really works is by infesting your computer with so much spyware and general bloatware that it slows to a crawl, causing you to through it out the window and go read a book. Digital piracy solved. Their next step is to make you through it at a library so you then have to go BUY said book.

  on Investigation Into Illegal Spying On Kim Doctom Reveals NZ Intelligence Illegally Spied On 85 People
  And their solution? To change the law to allow the GCSB to spy on citizens. This government is completely out of control and seem to be taking their instructions from their american overlords like good little lapdogs.
  
  At least we can thank Kim Dotcom for being the reason this all came to light. Maybe now we can do something about it.

  Somehow I am not surprised. Apple do seem to have a very condescending attitude towards their users. Glad I'm not one of them.

  on Petition Submitted To Require Congress To Wear The Logos Of Their Corporate Donors
  Poor politicians, it'd cause chaos. Can you imagine if 2 opposing middle aged white dudes turned up to work in the same logos? The cat fights, the tears ...
  
  "But you told me I was the only one!"
  
  "That's my lobby group, get your filthy mitts off them you corporate whore!"
  
  Followed by much slapping and hair pulling.
  
  ...it'd be the best fun in years.
