ACS:Law Anti-Piracy Lawyers Are Copyright Infringers
,----[ Quote ]
| Lawyers ACS:Law have entered the anti-piracy revenue generation scheme
| previously inhabited by Davenport Lyons. They write to alleged file-sharers
| demanding payment of hundreds of pounds or face legal action. However, those
| same individuals can point the finger straight back, since ACS:Law are
| copyright infringers themselves.

British Government Violates Copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| As much as I utterly despise the entire premise of Intellectual Monopoly,
| this is about violating the principles of a Free License, and if it's good
| enough for the British government to violate our civil rights in the name of
| Intellectual Monopoly, then it's good enough for the Free World to protect
| its "property" (in fact Freedom) too…
