Does The Washington Post have any editors? Jonathan Krim in a front-page, above-the-fold, before-the-jump stretch of the English language, writes the following about the Grokster decision:

The decision hands movie and recording studios a sharper legal weapon in their campaign to try to shut down file-sharing systems that enable hundreds of millions of consumers around the world to bypass retail outlets by electronically swapping music, videos and software programs.

As a consumer, I'm tired of having to pay for the things I consume. I think the next time I'd like a new car, I'm going to "bypass" my local car dealership and take the first hot car I see (that slick Chrysler Crossfire that parks near me in my parking garage looks pretty good). And maybe the next time I want to read the Post, I'll "bypass" a news stand and just liberate it from my neighbor's porch.
