Gott verdammi nochamol.
What world is this, where the protection of Intelectual Property is so
much more important than anything else, be it life, death, human
dignity, or knowledge? These recommendations are way beyond anything
reasonable.

I thought we lived in a society that had come to bite its own tail
because It had focused too much on knowledge. Now even that is being
spoiled.

When I put a copyright on my next work, I pray the Lord and whoever
else that it will not be used for harming people...
