We are screwed guys - Mish if you hum FREE BIRD in public - orrin hatch will have you assissinated for theft probably. We better hurry up and get some of that "total recall" or "sunshine of the spotless mind" tech so we can erase memory and not worry about the newly coming IP oppression of the multinationals.

Orrin Hatch to Lead Senate Panel on Copyright, Patents


Posted by timothy on Sunday March 20, @07:49AM
from the can-we-batten-down-the-hatches? dept.
PontifexPrimus writes "Senator Orrin Hatch, (in)famous for his idea of destroying the computers of copyright violators is to head a Senate 'panel, which will have jurisdiction over copyright, trademark and patent law, as well as treaties intended to protect American intellectual property overseas.' Looks like file sharing will finally be erased once and for all. Oh, and this looks like another field day for those who refuse to subsume patent, trademark and copyright law under the heading of 'IP law.'"

Correct me if I am wrong guys, but didn't the founding fathers want a WEAK central government so if they got TOO OPPRESSIVE you could flee somewhere else and let that gubbment and society die from loss of citizens? Where can we FLEE to now? My liberator space ship still hasn't arrived.
