Girls, make sure you wear jeans if you go to Texas!

That's actually inaccurate. In the U.S., the Supreme Court has held that copyright law is a constitutionally permissible speech restriction. Copyright law protects the expression of an idea in the presented form. If you film or take photos in the cinema, you're copying the protected expression fixed in the copyrighted work (the movie).

Based on U.S. Supreme Court decisions, "the First Amendment does not shield speech that infringes another's copyright. Copyright is an "engine of free expression" because it supplies the economic incentive to create and disseminate ideas."

Well, this just makes it 10x worse.

The Supreme Court have decided that "big business interests" are worthy of an exemption from the constitutional rights, but the nation's kids are not. It's time for the Supreme court to put an end to the loophole that allows potential perverts to "legalise" their activity by invoking their constitutional rights.

The problem no doubt is that big business can afford to take it right to the very top to get their exemption, but the kids in the pool or the cowgirls at the rodeo do not have the kind of political clout and deep pockets necessary.

However, what if the cowgirl has copyrighted her ass

Let's face it, in the United States we are forced to put up with all kinds of loony tunes right now. There is a judge in the mid west who does not believe you can be raped if you have already had sex. He said in reality, if a woman has already had sex, there is no harm done and some men need to have this power and fear to be sexually gratified. So he said in his court he would have to weigh the needs of the accused with the harm to the victim and in most cases he sees no harm. Pack your guns ladies and hope for sensible juries wherever you live.

Speechless, really. Going back to the dark ages, that's what this feels like to me.
