Mickey Mouse 1, intellectual commons 0Mickey Mouse 1, intellectual commons 0Posted Jan 16, 2003 19:19 UTC (Thu) by filteredperception (subscriber, #5692)Parent article: Mickey Mouse 1, intellectual commons 0 Once again, the people are shown that their is no "higher power" which will save them from the people they themselves elected. The sad fact is that no matter how many "intellectuals" are aware of the detriment of copyright extensions, there are far more people who don't see the real impact on their own lives, and are more likely to be swayed by television commercials for a politition. Until you educate and convince the people, it matters not how rational or correct your arguments are. Such is the double edged sword of democracy. Personally I tend to agree with the supreme courts reading of the constitution. It wasn't their place to help the idiots who voted for those who created the stupid law in the first place. Let them enjoy the fruits of their stupidity. I may be just a bit cynical, because I haven't seen the supreme court coming to the aid of those folks who get abducted and imprisoned for the "crime" of growing a plant and smoking it. I have long since relegated myself to blaming the voters, since that is where the primary responsability for stupid laws lay.
