Nobody knows Bismark anymore.

And it can't sound totally ridiculous, like "The Mickey Mouse Copyright Extension Act" [which is what the last one was, but was named the Sonny Bono act to be slightly less ridiculous].

This time, it'll be something like "The Lady Gaga Copyright Enhancement Act" [using the work enhancement so any attempt to send an email concerning it will automatically be flagged as spam].

And copyright will be extended to 50 years after every copy of the IP ceases to exist in any form, including thoughts and memories.

This is NOT new. More than 5 years ago I read an article in a lower mainland newspaper describing how police had cars with this system, patrolling parking lots looking for stolen vehicles [at least, that's what they claimed they were looking for].

And of course, there was no information as to was retained after each plate was 'checked'.

Now, I wonder who is watching all those camera's that are located at each intersection in the lower mainland...
