   Hello there!   
      
   The so-called Woke folks are keen on banning   
   music and movies that we like. I'm now wondering   
   when will the ROR movement happen?   
      
   "ROR" stands for "Restore Our Rights" and could   
   be the battle cry of the Copyright Mafia. The   
   ROR folks might join forces with The Woke   
   movement and start persecuting retrogaming fans.   
      
   Did you know that Copyright for Mickey Mouse   
   has now expired and companies like Disney do not   
   like that at all?   
      
   ROR could demand that Copyrights should be made   
   to last forever. This means that all those 1980s   
   retrogames would also be copyrighted infinitely.   
      
   For the past 24 years, I have put considerable   
   effort to acquiring original retrogames. I started   
   with just Commodore 64 games, but have since expanded   
   a little bit to other 8-bit platforms too.   
      
   If ROR will indeed happen in the future, I am well   
   prepared. I can claim ownership to my games since   
   I have the original media stored in my closet.   
      
   But many retrogamers have just leeched copies from the   
   Internet and they do not have the originals. ROR folks   
   would target precisely those retrogamers, effectively   
   making them criminals for playing 8-bit games from the   
   1980s.   
      
   I am not saying that ROR is likely to happen, but   
   seeing that Woke has gone completely crazy, it is   
   possible.
