Pennsylvanians Pass ‘Radical’ Laws Denying rights of corporations

Conservative Pennsylvanians Pass ‘Radical’ Laws Defying U.S. Constitution – July 16, 2007 – The New York Sun:
But in May, the mayor, 37, cast a tie-breaking council vote to enact an ordinance that bans corporate waste dumping — making his the first community in America to do so — and abolishes all corporate rights within his borough.

denying the rights of legal fictions… they are doing the right thing.

About Us
(The Open Library)
:
What if there was a library which held every book? Not every book on sale, or every important book, or even every book in English, but simply every book—our planet’s cultural legacy.

First, the library must be on the Internet. No physical space could be as big or as universally accessible as a public web site. The site would be like Wikipedia—a public resource that anyone in any country could access and that others could rework into different formats.

Second, it must be grandly comprehensive. It would take catalog entries from every library and publisher and random Internet user who is willing to donate them. It would link to places where each book could be bought, borrowed, or downloaded. It would collect reviews and references and discussions and every other piece of data about the book it could get its hands on.

Your boss could own your Facebook profile | The Register :
“The basic law is that if you create copyright material, something you write or type into a computer, you take photographs, you do cartoons, you potentially create film, if that is created in the course of your employment then the assumption is that that belongs to your employer, so that doesn’t have to be written down by your employer,” she said.
