What amuses me about this is just how obvious the cause is: over-regulation. These days, the amount of regulation that the U.S. Federal Government enforces makes difficult for small businesses to break even, let alone make a profit. You want to have small organic companies? Then push for deregulation of the markets. That is the way to allow fiercer competition, which is anathema to big businesses, as it forces them to be accountable to real market pressure. Competition drives down prices and pushes up quality; the free market will do a better job of protecting the environment than any top-down command economy.

Libertarian solution:
1) Privatize everything. Buses, roads, sidewalks, etc.
2) Let the companies deal with the problems completely on their own.
3) Save money on taxes (and on bus fairs as the companies evolve and become more efficient).

oh, as in one of these: http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/tiger-team.html
funny.

I definitely read "hoodies with tacos"...
fun idea though.

Ugh. Every time I hear about this sort of garbage happen, I get pushed more to the idea that anti-DMCA-abuse extremism is needed. I believe that I am not the only one. Someday, someone is going to snap, and is not going to be a pretty sight. To everyone who has ever done something like Andrew Burt, good job. You are going to make someone commit a violent crime, just by abusing a legal system.
