...Did we mull the announcement over that Wiley lost the case due to April Fools?

I thought this would be pretty big news.

while i'm happy that guy won and gets to keep his business, and corporations have lost a tiny bit of their power to abuse consumers, in the end i don't think it makes a difference in the big picture.  except an increase in the payroll for copyright lobbyists.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
