Remember when the National Party threatened the Standard with copyright infringement? Nothing ever came of it of course because we had the fair defence of satire. But at the time we figured it showed the Nats were tuned it to intellectual property rights and the misuse of others people’s material. How wrong we were. According to an article in today’s Herald our litigious mates may have bitten off more than they can chew after ripping off Coldplay’s “Clocks” for their dull and expensive John Key promotional DVD. As musicologist (and Dunedin music legend) Graham Downes puts it:
If I were approached by a lawyer to furnish a report for a prosecution of copyright infringement against the music on the DVD I would happily do so. If approached by a lawyer to furnish a report in its defence, I would decline.
It’s kinda funny that the party that considers itself the party of business and claims to be “ambitious for New Zealand” would make such a basic property rights blunder and do so while trying to riff off an overseas band rather than getting some decent original Kiwi music. I’d expect National will be getting a cease and desist from EMI sometime soon. I wonder what my copy will be worth on trademe then.

Scoopit!
Yeah, I bet I’ll get dismembered. That’ll teach me to have an opinion different from yours.
Disgusting fringe psychopath.
nih/robinsod or whatever “nick” you want to use…can one of you step back from the circle jerk just long enough to explain where the dismemberment comments are coming from? Although whistling up your crazy comments is fun, the whole chopping up thing is a little strange and i am curious to know why??
Just because the right sockpuppets doesn’t mean normal people do too. This is the only handle I use. You’ll never come close to having that kind of honour.
Now play stupid and pretend you didn’t threaten to “chop everyone up”. Good boy. Have a bikkie.
Bill – I believe your reputation as a psycho began when you tacitly threatened Rogernome:

Add that to your repugnant blog postings and your “silence of the lambs “-type infatuation with Whale and you’re a pretty good contender for most sociopathic rightie…
Oh, snap!
You’re a psychopath but nobody is afraid of you. It’d make a great Adam Sandler movie.
Oh and Bill – I’d say the only way you could get a grown man to fit in a wheelie bin would be dismemberment. So do you like spend your evening sharping your knives?
As the debate has sunk to a low level It appears that I, the dirtbag extraordinaire. can now participate.
I find it incredible that people so abusive as Redbaiter and D4J . And plainly disgusting as Stanley climbfall can still log on.
Whereas little old me, never said anything that abusive,is banned for life
The mistake I made was to find out that DPF was posting under a different identity any called him up on it.

I santa (me) said “If you can lie about that how can we believe anything you say”
Surely thats not as bad as Stanley posting links of women crapping into cups ?
I guess i got to close to the truth I think that
David can be compared to some sort of spoilt adolescent youth ,the immature attitude to women, the vanity and not having the maturity to accept criticism and admit when wrong.
Now I’m sure socially Davis is a very “nice’ person. Indeed generally people who exhibit the same sort have behaviours as DPF have to be loved by one and all because of the deep insecurities that lie deep and buried within
[and I should know
Ok goodnight one and all
Just in case somebody other than you fuckwits read this I will post the whole comment that I made with regard to robinnome over on kiwiblog.
The robinnome had been particularly abusive that night towards many posters and everybody was heartily sick of his vile dribble.
I wrote; “David, you wrote
“This is a huge blow to Police credibility.”
The credibility of Helens police service has been eroded at an increasingly frantic pace ever since she Lied to the SST about Doone. Since that night of the long knives against our police, they have succumbed completely to the will of Clarke and her party.
It is now 6 days since WE ALL witnessed an aggravated assault by a member of the labour party on film.
has he been charged? Has anybody in the labour party been charged with anything in the last few years?
People too stupid to read now know the words prima facie.
Each time these mutts break another law we all wail for a few weeks and then let it go, until the next time and then the cycle begins again.. ad infinitum.
I wrote at the time of the arrests that this would all be a big beat up and so it has come to pass.
A few drunk maori and fellow travellers have a whinge in the woods, having a big whiny circle jerk, is not terrorism.
The timing of these arrests was suspect at best and deliberate at worst. Clarkes new terror laws are currently before parliament and the right response from the solicitor general today would have helped clarkes plans immensely.
Lucky for all of us Broad and Clarke have been shown up for the liars they are.
And roger nome. you must have compromising photos of david because if you came into my house and behaved the way you do here you would be going home in a wheelie bin.”
Hardly a Thomas Harris moment!
But keep making the highly defamatory comments weeman, I am impervious to your drivel.
Bill you old psycho – you seem very touchy about your reputation. As I’ve said before you may want to consider not saying and doing repugnant things if you don’t want to be viewed as repugnant. I get the feeling you don’t want to stop being a psycho though so you may just have to learn to deal with the fact that people find you creepy.
Oh and Bill? Your whining about defamation doesn’t cut it when you’re making shit like this up about people:

And y’know what? I get the feeling you still won’t see what’s wrong with your behavior – you may even blame me for pointing it out. That’s what makes you a sociopath.
it’s true robinnome, he has admitted it himself. they have been in a relationship since his partner was a student.
I see you post over there as robinson rather than robinsod. Why is that?
Bill – I think you’ll find that he was a student at the time. Your use of the term “school boy” is an attempt to paint the man as a pedophile. You know that full well but prefer to use innuendo to smear people and then disingenuously pretend you didn’t really mean that at all – it seems you are a coward as well as a psycho.
Oh and “Robinson” is my old handle – I still use it where “Robinsod” is blocked – except on NZ conservative ‘cos I kinda like them and “robinson” is a more polite handle.
Hey Bill, is that your real name? Are you a West Aucklander? Because I actually know someone with your issues, back story and attitude problems.
