I don't need to keep hearing you rant that 2+2=5 when I damn well know it equals 4. You just want free shit without paying.



If you think the 95 year copyright doesn't violate the US Constitution you are even more stupid.

Article 1 Section 8

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

Ok in what fucking world is 95 years even remotely defined as "limited"?
you realize that your arguement about the time being TOO LONG is the opposite direction that everyone else is arguing

However if fair use was applied to the level i am talking about

if commentaries like this is the coolest dance routine was protected

if timeshifting/backup/recovery/format shifting is totally technology agnostic

then i don't have a problem with 95 years

there enough access thru just fair use to be balanced

although i would agree it should not be raised again 95 years is the upper limit.
