Quick word on copyright lawyers and thug tactics

Longtime Internet writer John C. Dvorak posted a really great column concerning the intimidation tactics of shyster lawyers and how their bull-in-a-China-shop approach to copyright issues has really ended up making matters worse for their clients. He doesn’t really go too far to castigate the players, but then again he still has to make a living writing this stuff and the companies that end up publishing (and thus paying for) his work probably have a bunch of those abrasive, abusive legal thugs on retainer.

Anyway, check out the column. It makes a pretty good read.
