And if you're that paranoid, you shouldn't have any CAs in your browsers anyhow.

Wouldn't the tape then count as evidence?

Bad laws, good laws. What's good for you is bad for someone else. You made it sounds like "It's a good idea when it helps me it but a bad idea when it helps others."

First we could hack the source code, and now we can hack the law too? If this goes on like this, someone will make it possible for us to hack the planet!

I'm a little confused. I thought passing laws that have less chance of being enacted through the traditional process is the purpose of this new process?

I'm curious, why was it closed down? Tried searching for it, but couldn't find much about it (in English at least).

Stop making it sound like a good thing...

You wanted debate? That's two doors down the hall on your left. This is slashdot.

Doesn't that just increase the attack vector?

Do we really need this incentive any longer? There's plenty of art to go around, most of the copyright extensions are to prevent companies from having to compete with their own (would be free) backlog. Then there's plenty of artists who do things in their spare time just to be heard or seen. I can see the need for patents in say fields like new energy sources, since that's a big problem coming up, but for art and such, not so much. That might mean we get less games and less music, but eventually it'll balance out again. You could argue that without copyright companies will put much more restrictive DRM and such on their devices, but from what I gather, that's happening anyhow.
