Basically, in case you haven't already heard, WIPO has gone so far off the deep end as to have decided that they want to s**t in the eyes of Public Domain.

No, no, no, a thousand times no, and yes this is the sort of thing that will make it no longer worth telling people they should abide by copyrights.

No, no, no, a thousand times no.

I pretty much agree with Dagmar on this. New intellectual property rights are not required to deal with signal piracy and they would create a myriad of unintended consequences that would largely be counterproductive.
