The difference is that at Nuremberg, the trial was conducted by a country other than the one that perpetrated the crimes.
What country is going to try the U.S.? Our country would go to war before it would let another country or international body try and convict our top government personnel.
If Germany had won the war, all the people who hanged at Nuremberg would have been given accolades, money, power, and slaves.
As the report clearly states, the torture did NOTHING to help with 9/11. It was merely torture for vengeance, making the torturers no better than the terrorists.
And we were all together after 9/11 until we invaded Iraq for no good reason.
No, the worse it gets, the more they like it, because it justifies their whole middleman existence. Lots of people have jobs just because the rules are so unnecessarily complicated.
This is some of the stupidest union protectionist logic I've ever seen coupled with one of the stupidest videos I have ever seen. It's almost as bad as your average Hollywood movie.
Because if you don't follow orders, you lose your job; or in the military, go to jail. Few people will risk their own security to protect another's security, esp. when the other person is viewed as a horrible, evil, murderer.
People act as if it's against the law to break the MPAA's rules. The whole system is entirely voluntary and theatre chains should defy the MPAA's power if they feel it's appropriate. After all, it directly affects their bottom line most of all.
It would be awesome if theatre chains (and streaming services) adopted the rating system provided by Common Sense Media. Their ratings are far more reasonable and more detailed than what the MPAA produces. The only reason they aren't used is the MPAA ratings are so embedded into the filmgoing culture.
100 copies is the same as a billion copies since it's available at The Pirate Bay.
But "use it or lose it" might be the only viable copyright reform in the internet age. If the people that own the copyright on something can't make the material available to the public, then it should revert to the public domain. There's just no reason that everything ever created shouldn't be online somewhere.
The existence of public libraries pretty much obliterates a lot of arguments for copyright. I've basically been a pirate since 1985 with the blessing of the government.
Where I live, broadcast TV has never looked better, nor have I ever had so many channels to choose from, but's still not enough to get me to watch it with all its infernal commercials.
And some of that stuff is on Netflix too - with no commercials and you can choose your which episode you want to watch (or binge on all of them). OTA is not superior in this regard.
Yes, if they upload the art and then explicitly say "yes, you may use this for your own commercial purposes without having to ask my permission."
All creative commons is is dictating the terms of use before permission is asked, so that permission does not have to be sought. It's not a way around copyright. It's a way around asking permission and licensing.

I'm sure whatever you create will be more intellectually and emotionally satisfying, and only read by geniuses who are too good to use the internet.
