| Fouquet writes "Apparently the Department of Homeland Security does not have enough to do in keeping the US safe, and now is enforcing copyright law as well. The AP reports that a toy store owner in Oregon was requested by Homeland Security officials to remove a potentially copyright-infringing Rubik's cube-like toy from her shelves. The patent for Rubik's cube was issued in 1980, and so it is expired." http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/29/0014250 | ||

| Let me guess, if she doesn't comply she is labeled unpatriotic and also a terrorist right? F THAT!!! Those bastages have way too much power for our own good as it is, let alone enforcing (unjustly, no less) copyright laws. If it were me, there would soon be a godfoot vs. DOHS civil suit (if possible, knowing how the government and many of it's agencies are somehow immune to certain civil suits.... and laws too it seems) set into motion. Edit: I kinda responded for ya Rob, although I may not have used the same words you were thinking. | ||
