Also off topic:

If copyright law as Wu explained with Fair-Use is not enough of a hot button for ya, consider looking up some of the issues with patenting living organisms. Monsanto was the target of a pretty decent investigative report in Vanity Fair recently (steele and johnson, i think).

Bono might need all that back-pay in order to fund his crusade against such practices.

Sorry, back to topic...
