yendiI know I'm preaching to the choir, in general, when I bitch about copyright being abused by people who never created a fucking thing (other than a lawsuit) in the first place.
But after reading this, let me encourage everyone to read Joyce out loud, as often as possible. Fuck it, quote him in your journals and blogs. Send emails talking about Ulysses. Refer to Joyce's twit of a grandson as "The snotgreen sea" or some other equally silly thing his granddad wrote. Spray paint the quotes on walls. Or better yet, on Stephen Joyce's forehead. If you've got a printer, head to http://www.online-literature.com/james_joyce/ and print every one of the writer's works. Unlike his grandson, Joyce had a modicum of talent, and he enjoyed his copyright just fine during his lifetime.
And let's not even get into the fact that Ulysses steals tons from Shakespeare and Greek Myth (but hey, copyright laws didn't exist back then, so who cares).
What a fucking wanker.
And you can quote me on that. I won't sue.
