I'll ask the question that I usually ask: "What have you created that is copyrightable?"
I'm getting pretty sick of wankers that don't contribute anything to the arts, sciences or general well-being of society whacking off about, "You can't keep it from us!" Yes, we can. if we choose to. If I write a song, that's my fucking song. If I write a piece of software, that's my piece of software. I do both. If I choose to publish it under a Creative Commons License, that's my choice... or I can choose to copyright it, and make some money. I pay the bills that way. In case you hadn't heard, there are financial responsibilities in life. We can't all live in our parent's basement.
I choose what I publish, and how I publish it. Some of it is CC, some copyrighted. If you think that just the matter of your using up oxygen allows you to profit from my genius, then you're sadly mistaken. My wish would be for a vetting process for my CC work, so that assholes like you didn't get their hands on my stuff, and use it to further their idiot ideas. THAT would be a great boon!
Create something worthy first, something that's worth a copyright. Then talk to me,
There ain't any technology that one human(s) can come up with that another human(s) can't corrupt.
I don't care how quick, savvy or exotic you are, you're not going to foil everyone forever. I figure it's just a state of grace we have: there's a situation whereby the technology is benign, if asinie; a state whereby it's corrupted, abused and malicious; and a state whereby it's antiquated, unused, and maligned.
I hope Twitter's now made it to that last stage now.
Huge-assed electromagnets at the doors to the building. Just don't wear a watch with a steel strap.....
...or a Prince Albert. That's one way to tell what your employees are doing on their Friday nights...
On the one hand, this sort of shit needs to see the light of day. On the other hand, it give me a (rare) reason to feel ashamed of being Canadian. What the hell do these idiots think they're doing? Pulling the wool over our eyes?
Wake up and smell the coffee, you idiots. We're not going to let you get away with crap like that. Thanks for letting us know! (Shuffles off to some networking sites to start some more news stories re: this!)
