Salon.com Technology | In defense of copyright
by Decius at 4:28 pm EDT, Apr 15, 2002

"The provision that you say I violated is unconstitutional"? This claim, of course, can always be made, but it is rarely if ever made and if it's made, it's almost always thrown out because it's the last refuge of a scoundrel.

I hope the court doesn't find this guys arguements any more compelling then I do. He contradicts himself on the subject of whether stronger copyrights incent or disincent the creation of derivative works, and seems to be of the opinion that there is no such thing as checks and balances. Every 3rd grader knows that the supreme court has the right to strike down congressional decisions when congress breaks the law.
