  You wouldn't steal a handbag...

  on UK Gov't Pushing For 10-Year Jail Sentences For Copyright Infringement Based On ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  But if you did then you'd get a much more lenient punishment than if you committed the victimless "crime" of copyright infringement, which amounts to nothing more than the unsubstantiated presumption of some imaginary future loss.
  
  A "loss", incidentally, that is based on the fraudulent presumption of entitlement to monopolise the accretive results of other people's work.
  
  What a detestable racket the "IP" industry really is.

  Will Patents Ruin The Most Important Biotech Discovery In Recent Years?

  on Will Patents Ruin The Most Important Biotech Discovery In Recent Years?
  I certainly hope so.
  
  As much as I despise the patents racket, meddling with nature to create genetic mutations is even worse.
  
  It's also highly ambivalent. On the one hand, these "scientists" claim that we need GMO because the population is exploding and there isn't enough food to feed everyone, but on the other hand those same "scientists" then claim that they need to create human mutations in order to make us live even longer, thus further exacerbating the problem of overpopulation.
  
  Clearly these idiots need to go back to the drawing board and figure out which problem they really want to solve.
  
  Although I think I already know what their true objective is, and it has absolutely nothing to do with "science".

  Same thing happened to me

  on Houston, We Have A Copyright Problem
  Except in my case the fraudulent claim was over a JFK speech in the public domain.
