Comment The opportunities for corruption are endless... (Score 2) 229

This reminds me of the Dukes of Hazard TV show where the corrupt deputy had a remote controlled speed limit sign and as soon as the Duke Boys were too close to slow down, he would drop the speed limit.

There are 2 kinds of people: the productive and the litigious. There is no cross-over.

If someone starts suing people, you can assume they never were productive. If an author starts suing people, you can assume they plagiarized everything they ever did.

I wonder who really wrote those novels?
