SCOTUS Rules Against Public Domain

[FireMasterMind]

they are infringing on freedom of speech and information >:(

IDIOTS

[Sykotix1]

If information is public domain, it is owned by the public. Isn't reapplying a copyright to it essentially theft from the American people?

What's next? Can I just decide that Pythagorus' Theorem is now mine? Do I get to extort mathemeticians every time they use it?

This is just legalised theft and extortion.

[dobbsiancant]

european copyright laws (at least for music) are far more fair and reasonable in regard to term.after sixty years your work is now public domain.that means you are in all probability DEAD so the question of intellectual property is moot.intellectual property cannot be inherited by worthless children.let them create for themselves.the same goes for worthless corporations .why should edgar fuckin' bronfman own you in perpetuity?

You need a tv program

Copyrights expire for a reason.

[TheoEvian]

This is the worst thing any politician can ever sugest! This law is the worst retroactive bulshit, something that should never be passed in any democratic country. It hamperes freedom of speach although not in a straight way.

[GREEKFONTS]

OK fine then. All the churches should pay the Jews for the bible and all the Universities and Nations should pay the Greeks for ANYTHING Greek. INCLUDING Democracy ! As Hilary Clinton suggested.

[DeathsPit00]

This just bypassed nearly everything we did on the 18th against SOPA/PIPA. Dammit! And here we thought that we were winning on that front. You guys realize that this makes it to where any and all information on Wikipedia that has anything to do with anything that is copyrighted can probably be pulled now right???

[BygPhattyPlus]

The gorvernemtn just proved that they don't need no frakking bill to screw us over.

Muy bueno mamacita. Ustedes mi amor es muy caliente y hermosa y perfecto y correcto, gracias babay!

[danielvincentkelley]

At this moment, anybody who doesn't care about the glaring need for full disclosure, to include ALL material, is a criminal and should be prosecuted out of existence for treason against all of humanity. Copyright is BOGUS. The need for information is CRITICAL. Human existence is at stake. Petty people are whining about getting paid for singing songs. Fk them. Fk copyright.

[danielvincentkelley]

Maybe your first question should have been, "How is your last name pronounced?"

[VexZeed]

All these internet websites that took part against SOPA should dedicate a page to call upon their users to contact congress for any legislation which would affect the internet negatively.

[freepress666]

well I guess you should copy write your name and charge million dollars when the government sends you mail. I think they will change their tune

[LIVETHUAN]

Next election for the hope of liberty, get these fascist pigs out of power.

[sobored671]

if i copyright my face do people have to pay money to see it?

[Inferno361]

the government is playing a dangerous game with the American people.

[Phenixtri]

@Inferno361 Lock and load patriots lock and load >>

[408Magenta]

Fascist country. Going down the drain like its economy.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

This is the fascist pigs system doing everything it can to suppress knowledge. Its time for war. Civil war. Bloody, millions dead, all politicians killed, all pigs bled to death in the street, all mansions burned to the ground, war.

@bamboo4tameshigiri

Take it easy buddy. Wait until "We the people" have our backs against the wall. When they decide that we can't own guns anymore, then we probably will have no other choice but to kick ass and take names.
