What we've learned from all this by jeep 01/13/2006, 10:11am PST
* eBaum and eBaum Vader are terrible people

* about 1/10th of ytmnd is pretty funny

* People steal stuff on the internet all the time

* People who steal stuff for fun are funny, those who steal for profit are worse than Hitler

* The old academic concepts of fair use and attribution only work if all parties consent to them

* No matter how angry the internet gets at some 15 year old kid, not one person will get off their ass, haul him and his father behind the woodshed and whip some sense into them

Remember kids, over the course of history criminal laws are created to abrogate vigilantism. If there's no threat of violent reprisal, there's no political pressure to create new laws (like "stop stealing my shit, kid"). I'm not saying it's moral, just suggesting that this will end no sooner than someone involved getting shot, which forces politicans to "do something." Frankly I was hoping Cleve Blakemore would catch someone stealing his IP and test that whole Musket-as-Dominant-Battlefield-Weapon theory on them, but it looks like we'll have to wait for some other wingnut to come along and do it.

Shame Ryvar left.
