If a game sells poorly, whether because of DRM or something else, it probably won't get cracked just because it has DRM. IOW, the popular games usually get the attention first.

If she has something to hide, then why did she have a photographer take her picture in the first place? Even if her circumstances have changed in the 4 years since the photoshoot, she still can't just magically erase everything from the entire web.
My gut feeling is that the subject of the photo(s) doesn't even know this is going on. But sometimes my gut is just upset about last night's dinner....
The images are alleged to have been published, previously to the tweet(s). That means that the cat's already out of the bag. If she were protesting the unauthorized publication of her image(s), then Bayside should be scouring the 'net for, and bring suit against, other media outlets as well. There's too much coincidence here for me to easily believe such to be the case.
The real problem is that Brenda Diaz didn't herself register "her photos" in the first place.
Anyone who "buys the copyrights" to one or more unregistered photos does so for only one of two possible reasons: either to prove that he's abysmally stupid, or he's planning on emulating Prenda, Leibowitz, and other infamous trolls. The same goes for anyone who enters into an agreement to "protect the interests" of an actual copyright holder, essentially having the rights signed over for this purpose.
Time to call in the big guns, and put this asshat out of our misery.
Koby, do you know what is the clinical definition of dementia? It's the repeated acts of shit-posting on the same website, expecting different results every time.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 'All men not on my side that is.
How?
Because then they aren't spending 95% of their time campaigning to get reelected, i.e. posing for their constituents, their big-bux donors, the news media, etc. It's a wonder when they actually do find the time to spend on the country's business.
Campaigning is just like pimping - it ain't easy. In fact, you can't tell one from the other without a score card.
What if all the women were fired from their jobs, and put back in "their place", i.e. the home? How many job openings do you think this would create? Do you suppose that "real men" would be willing to fill those positions? If so, then Hawley could crow "I solved the jobless problem!!"
But I would predict that our economy would come crashing to a halt in a hot hurry, with "real men" blubbering "but that's beneath my manliness!"
He's just taking a page out of Matt Gaetz's playbook. You know, be the only one to vote against an otherwise 100% slam-dunk law, then get caught doing exactly what you voted against. Diversion (aka what-about-ism) is the only play in the Republican playbook that works time after time. Name-calling comes in just behind that one.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 'All men not on my side that is.'
One from each party - Denny Heck (D-WA) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) pretty much kept their eyes open and their heads out of their asses. But yeah, calling it like it is instead of how #45 wants it to be, that's a pretty rare talent these days. At least in the hall of Congress.
And it's not so much the fact that we have only two major parties (there are at least 4 others at any one time), it's the fact that we don't have term limits on the rapscallions. That would put an end to the bullshit, mosh-kosh.
This assumes that he is some kind of smart in the first place. I'll take Bad Assumptions for $400, please. You don't have to be smart to con people, only charismatic (to some degree).

Oh, there'll be somebody listening for things like this, you can bet on it. Sort of like a Toastmaster's "Ah" counter (they listen for how many times you say "Ah" during your presentation), someone's going to be playing "Bullshit Bingo" every time a fresh bill is introduced. And it will find it's way to the innerwebs almost before the yo-yo is finished speaking.

What I'm curious about is Austin's code enforcement procedures. For instance, does the city municipal code call for using SWAT to subdue angry homeowners? In most places I've lived, that job usually falls to the judge, in a properly brought suit.
Oh, wait... this is Texas. That says everything I need to know. Never mind.

That's where the few owners in power act like Value Nazis. The premise is, everybody needs to present his/her home as if it were brand new, almost as if it were empty and ready to move in. This is so that owners of other properties who want to leave can get the best price. They are treating it as an investment, instead of as a place to live. Which makes every one else afraid to treat their house as their home, and that's a very sad state of affairs, indeed.
Having read no further than TFS, I have to ask one question: why did no one issue the command "Drop your weapon!"? Or gun, or anything along this line. That's been standard police procedure since Day One, and yet....
The only mitigating factor there would be that we were told (via the news article) that "he was carrying his guns".... that could've meant that he was carrying them in a menacing fashion, i.e. pointing them at someone. But I didn't read it that way, did anyone else?
