of course they should - politicians aren't going to police themselves.... as for "liberal" or "conservative," follow the ratings - if there's a buck to be made, they'll adapt quickly.

LOL. actually they forgot the media is after ratings. war is good for ratings - hence 'embedded' cheerleader/talking heads, walls covered with pictures of 'america's bravest,' john wayne-style toughguy neocon press briefings, comical aircraft carrier stunts, whatever. bang-bang...

if you and the "american people" feel grateful for the leadership, that's what's important.

Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. --Dick Cheney Vice President Speech to VFW National Convention 8/26/2002 Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons...

more nonsense and word games. this one fails to describe why self-styled superiorty on the basis of "common sense" is any less snobbish than self-styled superiority on the basis of "being smarter."

Dubya Talk Wait for us to succeed peace. Wait for us to have two states, side by side -- is for everybody coming together to deny the killers the opportunity to destroy. -- Kennebunkport, Maine, June 15, 2003 I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking...

that is not the case - the Constitution is the basis for both copyrights and patents - the goal was to reward innovation by granting monopolies, but limited in duration due to their potential for harm and abuse. both are restricted by the "limited times" clause, for what little that seems to be...

exactly - that's one of the points of contention - is it a sale of a copy of a work, or is it a license? sure the media companies lobby for the latter, but it's not as obvious to the consumer - what if barnes & noble tried to regulate where and when you could read a book you bought? that's...

but the regionalization was raised with regard to fair use, relating to rights of the owner of a copy. if the copyright holder can prevent fair use, then fair use is meaningless. same with DMCA-criminalization of access to works with expired copyrights. that the copyright holder says "I'll...

interesting comments. what about regionally-based access restrictions - i.e., different formats sold in different countries? what about access restrictions remaining on media containing copyrights that have expired (even assuming more conveniently-timed copyright term extension acts, they...
