Oh, please. Microsoft is probably one of the most pirated OSes out there because their buggy software is too damned expensive, and they charge for customer support. It's only a 'necessity' because of all the software the people really /do/ value that runs on it.
A night in jail for 'contempt of court' is not 'debtor's prison.' Any time you got a summons, you need to go to court, but in the case of debt collectors they are banking on you NOT showing up and getting a default judgement against you. If you DO show up, and challenge the debt, chances are pretty good the debt collector doesn't have the paperwork to prove jack.
Did you notice the container he was pouring from? It's a commercially available product called 'Simply Lemonade.' The caps have seals on them. Pretty sure he wasn't making it, himself.
Basketball was a sport created by a professor at the International YMCA Training School (that's Springfield College, these days) to keep people active during the winter. Yep. A sport 'by thugs,' for certain.
Re: Re: Re: KEEP opposition to "PROTECT IP", and KEEP ad hom at millionaires,
You're right, it doesn't matter. As long as there is ANY non-infringing content shutting down the whole site could possibly be against the law.
I want you to do us all a favor: PROVE that YouTube can know, 100% of the time, what is and is not infringing and stop it before it is posted. Try not to fall back upon any debunked or clearly fantastic (as in 'fantasies') ideas.
NONE of this helps determine what is Fair Use and what is not. It's a great idea if you're the middleman holding the copyrights (note that this doesn't help the creators at all), and you don't like our the 'innocent until proven guilty' part of our legal system.
For all your shield banging, I'm going to have to take a guess that you really are a shill pretending to be something else.
Seems to me there are plenty of laws that are 'carved in stone.' Take a minute to think about that. I'm sure you can come up with some.
HOWEVER.
MOST copyright infringement falls short of criminal infringement. It's a civil matter. Making ME pay to protect YOUR crappy 'art' most certainly is not fair. Take your fallacious 'i need to be paid' arguments and kindly refile them between the cheeks where they belong.
I would actually like to see citations for your statements. If you've had your vaccinations, then those who have not are NOT putting your life in jeopardy. You've been vaccinated! Or are you saying the vaccines don't work? Please, back yourself up.
Explain how copyright is then a moral imperative? YOu skip that point of the cartoon, which speaks to me that you are trying to move the conversation away from what is morally justified.
Copyright is not necessary for the artists to get paid, thus no moral imperative.
