Kia ora koutou

Thought you might appreciate a little copyleft humour at the expense of the Motion Picture Association of Amercia:

The MPAA now has God on its side, claiming that applications such as DeCSS and the Human Genome Project grossly violate several clauses of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

According to God, technology capable of decoding the human genome could make it easier to clone or redistribute certain copyrighted individuals. "While you may physically own the cells themselves," God said, "You do not own the DNA code on them." <<

of a crowded ship, or to let off bombs in city centres. Freedom does not
include the freedom to trash the habitat we all depend on for survival."
