i put in a request for information under 37 CFR 1.166 and they sent me weed so we had to classify it but then it got smoked so we removed the classification hth (ps: I work on the patent side not the trademark side don't blame me; I don't know anything about what goes on on the trademark side) e: 1.166 is more applicable to this dumb joke

I approach it from the fact that the only people who care if I download their song instead of pay for it are people who don't need any more money so gently caress them. And I whole-heartedly support the breaking of laws en-masse if enough people disagree with them. I guess that makes me a terrible lawyer but then again I'm not a loving lawyer anyway because I don't have a job so who gives a loving poo poo! e: VVV I think possession of marijuana is this generation's possession of marijuana Defleshed fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jul 21, 2010 |

I saw a headline somewhere that suggested piracy was this generation's possession of marijuana -- yes, it's a crime, but one that isn't perceived as particularly malevolent. There may be truth to that. I think there's a point, though, where even those of us who are risk-averse have to enter into a balancing act between things that are a crime and behaviors we're going to do regardless of criminality. Under Michigan law, seduction of an unmarried woman is a felony. While I understand "it is a crime, therefore I will not" as a philosophy, an examination of any given jurisdiction's penal code is likely to turn up some absurd results for the legal absolutist.

Alaemon posted:I saw a headline somewhere that suggested piracy was this generation's possession of marijuana -- yes, it's a crime, but one that isn't perceived as particularly malevolent. There may be truth to that. I think possession of marijuana is this generation's possession of marijuana, seeing as how it is still illegal. I think we can make colorable legal arguments for the repeal of many of the "absurd" older laws - eiither right to privacy or some other conlaw argument for invalidation. I don't think we can make a reasonable argument for the repeal of intellectual property law so that piracy suddenly becomes ok. There's a big difference between legal absolutism and saying that it's wrong to steal other people's property- which is exactly what piracy is, despite young peoples' strange inchoate objections to the contrary.

CaptainScraps posted:Not a goddamned bit. But I have preconceived notions. Some transactional work is not adversarial. Other transactional work is ridiculously adversarial. Sometimes the ridiculous describes not the degree of adversariality (technical term) but the fact that being adversarial is ridiculous because the adversarial party will be a division within your client or a sister company that is sort of on the other side of the transaction.

Ersatz posted:Actually, That's a very good point, I accept that. Piracy isn't simple theft, it's a more complicated form of criminal activity that involves property rights. My point still stands: it's illegal. Ersatz posted:
A lot of people in this country disagreed with George Bush's election and with many of the things that he did during his presidency, and yet we didn't see rioting or civil war - people did not just decide to break the law. There were a few soldiers who refused to go along with the stop-gap business, but very few. The Tea Party folks hate Obama, hate his proposed laws, etc, but they aren't just breaking laws in response. In both cases, Americans turn to the democratic process to fix the problem. Having dissenting citizens just breaking laws is generally a terrible idea for a democratic society. Obviously, there are exceptions to that rule, such as the civil rights movement, but we're not talking about a generation of oppressed young people who are struggling to gain their freedom, we're talking about a bunch of lazy, semi-wealthy young people who don't want to pay for music, movies, and software despite the fact that they have money for housing, electricity, a computer, internet access and probably an mp3 player of some kind. This isn't about civil disobedience in the face of injustice, this is about young people rationalizing their illegal behavior so that they can get free stuff. This is not a reasonable position, this is a childish position. Soothing Vapors posted:you and phil mousekewitz are really repping the "crazy old man" vibe hard in the past few pages I'm 29!
