(We might want to read William Gibson's Neuromancer trilogy a few times in order to learn a few tricks for the future governed by monopolies...)

LOL, Yeah, Back in the 80's Neuromancer and the sprawl trilogy was just another series of Sci-fi books. Now alot of it doesnt seem to far fetched does it .

Did you know the movie "Johnny Mnemonic" with Keanu Reeves is also based on a short story of the same name by William Ford Gibson.

Yeah, they blew up the original Johnny Mnemonic story (some 20 pages?) like a balloon... but the result is unexpectedly good! (Hmmm, IMDB rating is 4.6; perhaps, most people don't like it that much, after all... well...)

I don't see how this can be agreed with. Yes, it does penalize pirates, but would pretty much make backing up anything you own illegal.

It modifies the DMCA amongst other things. Instead of going for the people, it favors the large corporations.

As for the car thing mentioned above….we do have to pay. It is called auto insurance. It is illegal to drive without it.
