In an interview two days ago, Watts said, Here's the problem with Washington: "If you are explaining, you are losing."It's a bumper sticker culture. People have to get it like that, and if they don't, if it takes three seconds to make them understand, you're off their radar screen. Three seconds to understand, or you lose. This is our problem.They frame this as a massive battle to stop theft, to protect property... They extend copyrights perpetually. They don't get how that in itself is a form of theft. A theft of our common culture.a tradition speaks of freedom and their controls take it away.
