- Some comments by readers:
- Finally, a DMCA ruling that considers the rights of the people.
- It is a travesty that corporations have so perverted the intent and spirit of IP laws. Copyright and patents are no longer working as intended.
- She gets to continue the case only to lose it later. I guess this is good since EFF is paying her legal bills. Since the DMCA requires explicit bad faith she'll never get past summary judgment.
- Re: Fair Use - If She loses one problem we all face is if Pepsi or coke go after you for drinking a soda in a youtube video they don't like. Or someone sings the lyrics to a song in the back ground. copyrights should only go after people that seek profit from it. Maybe cops can charge you for copyright infringement next time you play your radio to loud. Or next time you lend your movie or music DVD or CD to a friend. Greed or common since . So Fair use Fair Use. Common Since the Wisdom of Solomon is needed in Courts

Philip J. Berg, Esq. Files Federal Lawsuit Requesting Obama Be Removed as a Candidate as he does not meet the Qualifications for President.
Phillip Berg is on Coast To Coast AM Radio Show 8/22/08, interviewed by Ian Punnet. Says Berg: "The media has given Obama a free ride, and I hope it is not because he is black. We now find out that Reverend Wright was with him the day he announced his presidency... but he told Reverend Wright he couldn't come up on stage with him.... I don't believe he has been properly vetted... And the biggest is, 'Is he eligible to run for president', and I believe not."
"I'm very disturbed by the past 8 years of the current administration, this administration has taken away more individual rights than any other administration.... If we can't get back to the basics and follow our constitution as it was written years ago, we will lose citizens who will leave this country... When I am proven right on this, I think Barack Obama has a lot of explanation."
The definition of frivilous suit: The person filing has everything to gain, and nothing to lose. What are you willing to do if you are proven wrong? Will you go on the record about this?
- "You want a think like the governors of the superbowl 'I'll give a case of bananas to your case of oranges'."
- "I'm an attorney, and I've been practicing for 37 years... and I have an excellent reputation... If I didn't believe in this, I wouldn't have filed suit. Under Federal Rule sanctions can be imposed if this is a frivilous suit."
"I haven't read (Corsi's) book.... The difference with John McCain, is that both his parents were citizens.... The people narrowed down for both parties are who they are, and I think we deserve a lot better. If you are in the service, and you have a child, that child is always declared a natural born citizen.... All service personel when they have children are given this."
Ian: He wasn't born on soveriegn U.S. ground. Misses the issue stated by Berg, it's the serving in the service of the parent, not the sovereign ground issue...
Question from caller:
- Republicans are concerned about the control AMH, a lean methanol, will start some plants by the defense department. It will cause some oil wars. You know how the republican party is about business. Do you have any comment on the tremendous push to shutdown the alaskan pipeline after the election,... and they'll revoke or refuse drilling.
- "I'll have to check into this AMH. I haven't heard about dropping the 50 mile to 25 miles. The danger of not doing offshore... is that foreign governments like China and other places are coming into our areas and drilling for oil... I think China has already bought certain sites.... We need to move forward... If we need more energy, we need more energy.... I think the no votes are apalling.... People believe that congress is doing a good job is down to 8% or 9%.... People should take a hard look at any elected official who is not looking out for our interest.... Their biggest goal is to get reelected. I think that it is time for some changes in that, I think we deserve better than what we are getting from the democrats, the republicans, and the independents."
