I am guessing the only reason Bret Favre has not chased after deadspin to take down the pictures of 'baby brett' is that he would legitimize the pictures... since given the logic of this type of thing Brett owns the copyright since he took the pictures even though he sent them to someone else
or even:
"What this means is that Google isn't a big enough copyright headache to prevent some in the entertainment world from doing business with it." What it actually means is that there is no way for the entertainment world to get a fair share of the profit Google makes from pirated material, or prevent them publishing pirated material. The Viacom case has shown that under current law Google can freely pirate material, make a profit from it, then just take it down if it is found. The entertainment industry is forced to work with Google, on Googles terms, to make any money of this. Unfortunately the results are obvious, less content and less quality. Thanks Google, for driving evertone to the lowest common denominator. Thereis nothing more pleasing that mountains of trash, as long as Google can funnel ads with it.
like:
""Section 230" is 14 years old and way out of date. You're hiding behind a clause in a law that was written before the vast majority of the Internet was born."
Look at your comment. Back to mine. Back to yours NOW BACK TO MINE. Sadly, it isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate crap it could LOOK like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, finding the ones that your comment could look like. Back at mine, what is it? It's a highly effective counter-troll. Look again, MY COMMENT IS NOW DIAMONDS.

I found it unfortunate to the potential audience that you pulled back from allowing your film to be streamed via Netflix due to the DRM.
To me, the Netflix DRM is analogous to the set-top box or cablecard required to decrypt and view Digital Cable signals in the US. Would you disapprove of someone like 'Lifetime' or 'History Channel' showing Sita Sings the Blues over a system that is DRM'd in that manner?
Due directly to Netflix choice of DRM or to the lack of a compatible player?
I am a Linux user, Windows user, Xbox 360 user, Android user, and a Wii user. I suppose it has 'impacted' me but not too much since I have never attempted to watch netflix on an unsupported platform. I do have the desire to watch Netflix on my Droid but I am not upset that it is not possible to do that today and I really have not thought of it as a DRM issue but perhaps it is. It still does not affect my
I really do not have any issues with DRM on a streamed service. When I am 'buying' a DVD, CD, or Digital Download (song, movie, game, etc) I despise DRM but I have yet to run into a situation that the DRM used by Netflix in conjunction with streaming that has impacted me at all.
Other than hating DRM for being DRM, is your lack of love due to something their service with DRM cannot achieve or is it a love-lost due to principle?
My guess is better than 95% of people who use Google to search have no idea what a search algorithm is. Of the 5% who know what one is 95% are happy with the results they get from a Google search and really do not care whether or not the "secret sauce" is tainted because the results are what they care about, not how Google massages the data.
IF that Karen Beth Young is the same Karen Beth Young that is in the Google lawsuit... then Karen Beth Young is a freaking lunatic. One can only hope that Karen Beth Young finds the mental health assistance that she appears to need desperately. I hope Karen Beth Young's lawsuit against Google gets kicked to the curb.
They have the public and public officials snowed with the same garbage math the software and entertainment industries have been using for years.
Sally really likes the $500 Coach bag. Sally only has $20 to spend on a bag. Sally buys a counterfeit coach bag for $20 on the street corner, she knows it is not real and does not expect it to be of the same quality but it looks good.
ZOMG Coach totally lost $500 to the evil counter fitters!!! We know that there were over a million counterfeit bags sold last year so obviously coach lost $500,000,000 to the pirates!! Write up a new treaty of something quick!!!
If you believe the subpoena you've received requests information or material that would be difficult to gather, you may be able to challenge it. Should the court agree with your objections, it may nullify the subpoena. More likely, the court will limit the scope of the subpoena, set a more reasonable deadline for you to deliver the materials, and, if a voluminous amount of documents have been requested, the court may also require the other party to compensate you for making the necessary copies of each document. ...
I do not think most concert goers mind it if it is included in the price of the ticket. There is nothing wrong with using a middleman the problem comes when there is only one or two middlemen to distribute the tickets/music/etc. When the only games in town can tack arbitrary fees on to each sale and the consumer and the artist have no choice in the matter we get the ticketmaster livenation bullshit we have today. I don't think many expect artists/musicians to do all of the ancillary work that themselves- but finding new methods/players in the game is good for them and their fans.
