Okay I warned you ........ On the PIClist you do not have the right to express political opinions. I am tired of hearing about how great IP rights are. I detest IP , patents , copyrights. I think they are evil and damage humans. This my opinion .... period. I do not segregate "professional" and personal opinions. That sounds creepy to me. Just because you have accept= able , conventional political views does not make them right. Please refrain from wasting my time by expressing them on this forum.

I think it is a little heavy handed. I think the market should be freed to promote competition.
