Again, distribution time is not what the time frame is based upon. It's based upon how long the creator should be entitled to receive compensation for their work, and distribution time is a negligible part of that equation. That said, I feel it's fair play to debate the length of time a copyright is valid, so what…

Try again maybe. It's the best.

Darn it - I forgot that the Patriot Act completely redefined US intellectual property law. I ALWAYS forget that!

It is an odd bridge (not awful, just odd). But it's effective in that you can't wait for it to return to the main riff.

Copyright laws have nothing to do with speed of distribution.

I can totally picture that delivery, Steven Wright-style. Hilarious.

There’s a saying along the lines of “some ideas are so preposterous only an intellectual could believe them.”

Don't know this guy, but that's a great album title.

You're pretty much starting the conversation over at this point. Reread my initial comment on this thread if you must, but I'm not going to repeat myself. And, no offense, but I'm not really interested in any more rambling paragraphs in which you (for some reason) bend over backwards to defend another commenter's…

"Tommy Brann's statement was quite clear. So were Zack Budryk's comments."

Clear as mud, DemiDiva.

Yeah, it must be that, when it comes to political commentary, the prevailing trend on this site is NOT to set aside facts in favor of fictions* you can more easily make fun of in an attempt to seem clever. How silly of me. Carry on.

Okay, so this is yet another example of the "make up then make fun of conservative strawman" game that everyone here seems to love so much. Just wanted to be sure.

I can't wait for the "Pronk sings Paige, Prass, Pratt, Price & Pride" covers album.

But Zack Budryk said Kyle's history is essential to the interpretation of the implications of Brann's comment.

To say nothing of Angela Paige, Stephanie Price, Meredith Pride, and Mallory Pronk!
