that Billy G called those of us looking to reform Copyright Law,
communists. I can play that game too.
Algernon said:I was just starting to wonder how long it was going to take you to
look them both up. You really don't like to be wrong, do you? You
get hostile when confronted, which many consider a result of
insecurity. I have a friend in psychology you should talk to.
It has nothing to do with the original topic. I thought you at least
intelligent enough to discern *that*.
In any case, you're still
wrong about Mr. Gates' comments "insulting" people.
You may post
back and "correct" me on that point if you wish (and I'll bet my
psychology friend's salary that you will), but I won't see it; it's
nearing 5:00 and I've got beers waiting for me down the street.
Goodnight!
Algernon said:Incidentally, before I go:
gen·er·al·i·za·tion : A principle, statement, or idea having general
application.
u·ni·ver·sal: A general or widely held principle, concept, or notion.
The internet is a big place; it's not difficult to find material to
back up one's ideas, no matter how erroneous.
HeyBub said:It's not a game.
Gates was right, but you are malfunctioning.
Communism does not accept copyrights inasmuch as a copyright is an
individual right and privately-owned resource.
If you believe, in this matter, as do the Communists....

Q: In recent years, there's been a lot of people clamouring to reform
and restrict intellectual-property rights. What's driving this, and do
you think intellectual-property laws need to be reformed?
Billy G: No, I'd say that of the world's economies, there's more that
believe in intellectual property today than ever. There are fewer
communists in the world today than there were. There are some new
modern-day sort of communists who want to get rid of the incentive for
musicians and moviemakers and software makers under various guises.
They don't think that those incentives should exist.
Thanks Billy G! Under our Founding Fathers, the limited duration of
Copyright protection was just that of 13 years. Windows 3.1 would be
going into the public domain next month, if we were operating under
the traditional values of our Founding Fathers. But I guess that
anyone that believes that the duration of Copyrights should outlive
the author in perpetuity is a communist!
Thanks for clearing that up for all of us, you god-damned Copyright
Nazi! I'm glad that the Führer of a proven Copyright and Patent
infringing corporation is on the frontlines of fighting for Copyrights
lasting in perpetuity. The 1000 year Copyright Reich! Zieg Heil!

What's all this have to do with Windows XP? Well I'll tell you, so
that the server boys have NO *real* reason to pull this post. ;-)
MS, in its WinXP EULA avails its self all the protections under
Copyright Law, but then rewrites the Limitations that Congress has
placed on Copyright Owners in Copyright Law. MS is the proven
infringer, yet they want you to believe that you, the paying customer,
is infringing on their Copyright when installing Windows XP on more
than one computer for your private non-commercial use, yet not ONE
person has EVER been found to have done ANYTHING wrong for copying
and using Copyrighted Material that was legally sold to them for
their own private non-commercial use. Microsoft and their Führer are
either unwilling or unable to prove this is illegal under the law, so
they use their EULA, and the behavior modification tactics of PA and
WGA, and outright propaganda to try to convince you that your RIGHT
to "fair use" is wrong and legal.
Make MS legally prove their nonsense, before you believe their
propaganda! The MicroReich will not last forever, if you stand up
against their Copyright fascism!

Tom;
I never said anything about Moses.
If you thought I did, you need to read the post again paying particular
attention to the threading.

Apparently not.
If you need to insult to make your point, you are unqualified, find
someone who is qualified and let them better make your point.
