The relationship between the Empire, I mean, Google and Mozilla is disturbing the force.


Reminds me of the Confederacy from the prequels.

Oh yeah, those are forbidden.

Regardless, the Republic and Confederacy were both toys of the Emperor, so I guess Google and Firefox...

Ok I'll just leave.

Star Wars should be public domain though (the original 3 movies). Fuck infinite copyright.


I have to disagree here. George Lucas is still alive, and he wrote it.


Why should copyright be tied to the life of the author (serious question)? When I discuss copyright with friends I typically argue for a fixed copyright term regardless of when the author dies. What are the arguments to the contrary?
