You haven't met anal retentive until you've met the copyright office.

I'm in an office building full of colleagues, screaming 'fucking fuckity fuckers' at the top of my lungs, and I don't care in the slightest. This is some of the most obnoxious bullshit I've ever had to deal with in my life.

That is all. This is gonna make a small-government conservative outta me yet; moreover, I never felt too persuaded by either side of the DRM debate, but if going DRM-free means the elimination of the copyright office in any way, shape, or form, then I'm all for it.

Yes.... Succumb to the Dark Side :) .

I hear you. I'm currently working on my MA medical license and it's just been unbelievable what hoops I have to jump through for it and of course I get to pay $600 for the priviledge.

Wait, you mean to tell me that Myke actually believes in a right to private property ?

Say it ain't so Myke...

See, that's how they get ya, Myke. After this administration's take on things like "due process," I decided that whole crazy militiamen "The second amendment lets me stockpile assault rifles in case the government comes to take me away" thing isn't so crazy after all. I just can't figure out what happens to all the "Live free or die!" nutsos once there's a Republican in office. Do they hibernate? Go to ground like cicadas? *shrug*

I got a copyright for my cartoon right before I posted it. Those people called me three months later and asked a few questions. The guy who called me was cordial and I felt good about my dealings with the Copyright office.
