So, don't ever speed, and check your bumper height, and other equipment to ensure compliance with the LAW!
. . .damn it
Cartoon Character
On a more serious
note .. . why is it that the music industry is allowed such a HUGE monopoly on any one of their MANY 'inventions'? And, such an easy path to legal protection of that song/'invention.'
I mean, let's say that Jeff invents and engineers a Flux capacitor, which solves all of our energy needs. He would face one long and expensive process to get patent protection . . . and then that would last only a few years.
Contrast that with say Michael Jackson buying the rights to a bunch of FREAKING SONGS from that 1960's band, the Beatles . . . as they continue to have copy protection.
Apparently society believes that songs and jingles are always the greatest invention EVARrrrr. . ..
OTOH, I don't even think that music is worth the hassle of managing it all. (hello radio)
carry on. . ..
