that's awesome. Seriously. This is my favorite part:

"They are saying, literally, that you are giving up your moral rights. And that it's okay, because the French invented them. We are replacing your normal, god-given rights with only the jovial words in this sweet-ass contract, dude."

Jesus, Steve, you know I used to make homemade fireworks, eh? It's just a hop skip and a jump to making explosives from there.

Don't you think it's irresponsible to put this somewhere where I might see it? US copyright law is a 50-cent cab ride from turning me into the unibomber at the best of times...

Anyway, gotta go pick up some fertilizer and diesel fuel...
