Worst foot forward

I decided to start my blog off by both contributing to the echo chamber and telling you something you probably already know. As an added bonus, I think I will compare someone, speciously, with the nazis.

I want to direct your attention to post (itself, largely deriviate in that it mostly just refers you to an Associated Press piece on yahoo news) by my buddy Peter over at BrickBurner.org (BrickBurner is, apparently, a multi-author lefty politics blog).

If you haven't already heard the news, it seems as if the French executive's attempt to pursue the fashionable policy of intellectual property nazism--in the form of a new punitive law against file sharing--when delightfully awry when rebellious legislators instead advanced counterlegislation to legalize all dubious file sharing for a monthly royalty fee of aboot $8 and ½. I wonder if the "one half" character will read on blogspot.

It's worth mentioning that Laurence Frost, AP Business Reporter, is promulgating Big Content fantasies about the illegality of downloading, as opposed to uploading, pirated works. Maybe it works differently in France.

Hey, it was either this or link to somebody else's writing aboot Johnny Damon signing with the Evil Empire. Let's all of us, The Faithful, hope for the best and call him Samson.
