According to the New York Times, the verb to bork might be defined as "to destroy a judicial nominee through a concerted attack on his character, background and philosophy." (http://www.iht.com/articles/1993/01/13/topi_3.php) Remember Judge Bork? He probably would have been one of the best Supremes... Applying the definition of the word b0rk to Christopher's use of the word regarding copyright, I would have to also agree that copyright is being destroyed "through a concerted attack on [its] character". I further agree that copyright opponents are completely vicious and unfair in their attack. ;-) > Shane Hathaway wrote: >OTOH, copyright law is the foundation for open source software.
