What's being stolen is time, money and brain cells.
This explains copyright maximalists: they can't make sense because they don't have enough brain cells. Meanwhile "pirates" are using stolen brain cells to make well-reasoned, sensible arguments.
;) Heh, I am notoriously bad at depicting guns, and you are right I am unfamiliar with rifles. Last year I took up archery so I could properly depict bows and arrows; I'll probably have to visit a rifle range to get guns right. I seem to keep needing to depict them, they are such an icon of modern violence.
Since I moved back to Urbana-Champaign, I keep seeing Champaign businesses on Techdirt. First it was that bus company that sues its customers, now it's this pizza place.
I have no idea why anyone would eat inferior pizza here, as we have some of the finest pizza establishments anywhere. Papa Del's, as mentioned above, is excellent, as is the newer, thinner Manolo's. But there are always some morons stumbling around Campustown. Maybe Drew's customers enjoy flashing more than they like good pizza.
Oh yeah, also the filings are encouraged by the Court to be bound together with a specific stitch: saddle stitch.
Actually "saddle stitched" just means "stapled." A saddle stitcher is just a long stapler; they were quite common in the pre-internet world of 20 years ago, when we made minicomics and 'zines instead of blogs.
As entertaining as her self-propelled train wreck might be to some, to me this looks like a mentally ill person having an episode of some sort. It's becoming more sad than funny. Mental heath care, people. We need functional mental health care in this country.
I remember that there was a plan to crowdfund the purchase of the worldwide license of the songs
I would never support such a plan. Raise good money for extortionists? They've already extorted $70,000 from me just to decriminalize the movie, they're not getting any more. Artists and innovators deserve money, not extortionist rentiers.
There is no sound legal solution to automatic copyright without registration. CC-0 is the best I can do as a public promise not to sue, but unfortunately it's still a license, not real Public Domain. There is no real opt-out of copyright, which is just one of the many ways copyright law is broken.

I don't particularly like porn, but I like the word "porn" more than ever.
Maybe porn is the new chicken.

Really, searching a call phone is no different than searching a body cavity. Just routine, for my own protection I'm told.
