Blackmoor Vituperative

The US Supreme Court Monday handed the entertainment industry a major win in its ongoing battle to destroy the public domain and control all information everywhere.

In the MGM vs. Grokster case, judges voted unanimously that software companies may be sued when consumers use the service to share music and movies, overturning an earlier ruling that sheltered peer-to-peer services from frivolous lawsuits from the multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry.

Thanks to the Stepford Court and media brigands like MGM, you can’t create a device or technology that can be used in a way which will open the door to frivolous lawsuits, or you will become a target yourself. Thanks to Disney and the idiots in Congress, nothing ever written down, drawn, filmed, or recorded will ever enter the public domain again. Thanks to the software robber barons like Apple and Microsoft, even obvious applications of prior art will be licensed and controlled. Creativity will vanish, and gradually every form of expression will either be forbidden or will involve extortion money paid to the media brigands.

Make no mistake: this is the end of the world. It will get worse before it gets better.
