  Harm? What Harm?

  on Yes, Copyright's Sole Purpose Is To Benefit The Public
  To Whomever -- If one can establish and prove genuine harm regardless of what is in current law, you have 2 (I would guess) avenues of recourse: Sue under current law that in someway can be interpreted to redress your harm or find someone in the US House or Senate that would sponsor legislation to redress that harm.
  
  ... or just keep posting anonymously c/o Mr. Masnick or elsewhere.

  In Harms Way

  on Yes, Copyright's Sole Purpose Is To Benefit The Public
  "I, as a member of the public, am harmed by these laws and so are the majority of us."
  
  I am sure some US Federal Court would be delighted to have you or your attorneys explain to them that you are harmed on a daily and ongoing basis and therefore offer an immediate injunction such that you and those in your representative class are in no way further harmed.

  Thank you so much Mr./Ms. Anonymous Coward, but this is work I actually do on a daily basis both in the USA, through the copyright law of other countries, and WIPO/Geneva. If you want to come up with hypothetical constructs please go right ahead. I leave it to others to change existing law; I try to use existing law in ways that is outside the norm. Only time will tell how effecticve that may be.

  From above: Every day that I, as a member of a public, get denied legal access to a work and have my rights impeded by the government ...
  
  Maybe true but total BS unless you can find a harmed party with legal standing that is denied rights under the law as it exists today -- not under the law as you think-it-should-be.

  Google can do whatever-it-wants if it wants

  on Why Search Engines Can't Just 'Fix' Search Results The Way The MPAA/RIAA Want
  Just look at the DecorMyEyes case --

  If Google wanted to tweak a search algorithm to avoid (you supply the definition) sites they can do it.

  Also 'somewhat familiar' with WIPO

  on The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Would Like To Know What You Think Of Them (Sorta)
  My Twitter statement following the last SCCR session (SCCR23):
  
  #SCCR24 This is WIPO - One of the big problems in diplomacy is you cannot say "The proposal by the esteemed delegate from XYZ really sucks."
