bug#38002: Please remove this joke - Informing of legal rights is not a threat - 35 year copyright recovery for non-works-for-hire

[nipponpost@airmail.cc]

I'm a licensed attorney and have been studying copyright for years.
I am not going to identify myself.
Informing people of their legal rights is not a threat, and the FSF will 
lose any statutory revocation action in the US. And yes, I already know 
the legal arguments you are going to make (you will beg the courts to 
consider the charitable exception regarding the requirement for 
consideration when making a binding promise to donate, however here 
Congress chose to completely bypass and nullify contract-law principals 
(and exceptions) and write in a statutory right of recovery after 35 
years (within a window of time) for copyrights, regardless of what the 
license contract or assignment said. You will also try to claim that the 
works were works for hire, you will fail on that as well)
