Did I write ‘Democrats’? I should have written ‘Republicans’. But, Tweedle dum Tweedle dee, it makes no difference to thee.

True to form, the copyright cartel has shut the stable door after the horse has bolted.

That the proposal got as far as it did is the clue that the frogs have noticed the hot tub’s thermostat has broken, that the people have noticed a distinct abrogation of their cultural liberty in recent times…

The cartel have simply informed the Democrats that it is sacrilege to even consider that copyright abridges the people’s liberty to provide monopoly profits to the cartel (profits vastly in excess of productivity).

The Democrats will either see this ‘repeal of alcohol prohibition’ as a guaranteed election victory (as it would be), or they will threaten to carry on considering reform unless the cartel give ‘em a tad more support. But, something tells me it’s too late for this, the two parties are completely infiltrated by the corporatocratic regime – you have a choice of good cop or bad cop, but you get the same police state either way.

Thanks for reporting it, Jordan. Where did you find out about it from?

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/an-anti-ip-turn-for-the-gop/ — If I’m not mistaken, I was the first to report on this, the slashdot article links to my piece. How ’bout a little credit?

As to the proposal, I’m not holding my breath that anything will come of it, but it’s an exciting development nonetheless. The suggested reforms are mostly good (though I have reservations about #4)

Something similar happened just before alcohol prohibition was repealed.

Of course, ‘reform’ is a gateway meme to abolition, but we don’t point that out in polite company, eh?
