‘Mine, mine, mine’ ©
p2pnet news view P2P:- Frequent poster Morg over in the UK wondered what I was talking about in a comment I left under a story.
It was on how Cat ‘Yusuf Islam’ Stevens is wondering whether or not to follow Joe ‘Satchafunkilus’ Satriani’s example and go after Coldplay for using a riff they [Satriani and Stevens] say is theirs.
I mean, Gosh! Like, you can’t use someone else’s riff!
Right?
I mean Gosh! Then everyone will be doing it and, and, and ….
It’d be Sooooo …
Anyhow, “People need to chill!” – said Robert in a Reader’s Write.
“They act like children in the playground who can’t get along with other children ‘mine, mine mine’.”
As everyone knows, I’m a vigilant supporter of corporate efforts to stamp out copyright crime, and I definitely wouldn’t want to see Robert end up in court accused of being a copyright criminal.
Then a judge would order me to reveal the perpetrator’s identity. And then I’d be sued by Apple. Or would it be Pixar? Or even Steve Jobs hisself !? (And if that happened, maybe I could get his autograph!)
But I digress.
Robert was using ‘mine, mine, mine’ without paying.
The words are spoken — almost sung, in fact — in Finding Nemo, a Pixar film, and thus, “Sorry,” I said to Robert. “Can’t allow that here”.
“It’s a blatant copyright infringement,” I said.

Interesting article. And if studios/Apple/Jobs (I too would want an autograph, on my MAC BOOK PRO and iPod Shuffle) wanted to sue me, they wouldn’t get a penny! After which I would go further into debt filing copyrights on every word combination ever used, then counter-sue the studios for every film they produce that uses my copyrighted word phrases.
I’ll start with two word phrases, then move on up to full sentences.
Maybe I should do that now? While I’m at it, I’ll file IP patents on breathing, speaking, eating, sleeping, running companies based on greed, laying claim to anything and everything due to greed, and suing people with law-mangling extortion bribery techniques (aka lobbying).
Once these greedy corporations are run into the ground, we can start over and install watch mechanisms to prevent excessive claims of ownership.

The seagulls remind me of the endless clamouring of the Hollywood studios and big record labels
