I happen to like isolationism and self protection. He hit multiple aspects of those issues. That outweighs the other concerns for me. Including his support of the terrorist government of Israel. Or whatever he feels about women.
Seems nobody has explained this to you, but isolationism doesn't work when it comes to the US, it needs foreign trade and investments to function and that means it needs to be engaged overseas. Without that the economy would crash and burn worse than all recessions combined.
I do not know where he stands.
Let me spell it out for you: He thinks Putin invading Ukraine is a genius move. Have you missed all the gushing words Trump has spilled on behalf of Putin?
I have zero problem with Russia attempting to reunite previous Russian (predates USSR) territory populated by primarily Russian and related populations of no support Russian, not Ukrainian, governmental control.
WWII called, they want their Nazi diplomacy back. Also, Mexico want Texas back.
I think Ukraine is a dictatorship at far greater risk and threat to the world than anyone else.
Do you even know who is the president of Ukraine? Volodymyr Zelenskyy is literally a comedian that joked about running for president and people voted for him and he got 70% of the votes. If you think that's a dictatorship you are a fucking moron because you can't stop yourself from believing anything Tucker Carlson says. Are you also going to mention the "fact" that Zelenskyy is a Nazi?
And it’s the ties to US politicians that keep me from ever voting for or supporting many who run for office. Be it Clinton or Biden. Ukrainian ties and support make it a no-go.
What ties? You really need to stop gorging on stupid conspiracy theories. Regardless, you seem to have no problems with Trump borrowing hundreds of millions from Russian Oligarchs...
As I have said since 2015 I blame Clinton for the ethnic murders in Ukraine of Russian, Rus, and Gypsim peoples.
What ethnic murders? Are you seriously repeating Russian propaganda?
I despise the tax shelter for US politics.
Oh boy, you are in for a surprise when it comes to Trump...
I have a serious dislike for that government.
Oh, please tell us why they are so bad. Be specific...
I get emails from change.org on a regular basis asking me to sign various petitions created by their users. One time I got an email from them about a petition by this guy, aiming to convince the TV station to give him a co-copyright on the work, so he can use the DMCA to take down the videos. This was well before the NFT development. Needless to say, I didn't sign that one!
There's one part in Techdirt's story that baffles me, though:
Indeed, the TV station is quoted in the article noting that...it has provided licenses to Parker to help him get the video removed...
I'm not sure such a license would even be valid under current copyright law. There is no exclusive right to "get a work removed from the internet" under copyright law that can be licensed, just like newspapers couldn't license "the right to sue" to Righthaven, and the court said as much when dismissing Righthaven's lawsuits.
I think the most they could do is outsource the ability to send DMCA notices to a third party, which could be Andy Parker. However, the final decision would have to be made by the copyright owner (the TV station). Unless they make a blanket decision to bar any re-use of the footage (fair use notwithstanding), there's no other way for Parker to unilaterally say in any DMCA notice that the use of the video wasn't authorized "by the copyright holder, its agent, or the law".
So, as sad as this story is, outside of a transfer of ownership of copyright, there's no way for Andy Parker to use copyright by himself to get the video removed from the internet. Creating an NFT does nothing to help in this regard, either. If this really is advice from his lawyers, either they're not knowledgeable of how technology works or they're deliberately misleading him. I sincerely hope it's not the latter.
Indeed, I have to agree with that one Anonymous commenter before me that says he shouldn't be trying to look for videos to get them taken down. It'll only give him more grief having to relive that moment over and over again. Maybe it would be better for him to give up this mission of scrubbing the video from the Internet. Such an effort is futile and will only delay his healing from the loss of his daughter. Sometimes, it really is best to just let it go.

I've seen the video a time or 3, but on tv rather than the internet.
I can imagine that everytime this video ends up on a platform it causes him great pain, but I honestly can't see how the platforms could do more for his case.
They can't check every video uploaded in realtime, they can use matching like the NCMEC images/content id, etc do but minor changes to the files can render those new uploads invisible to the all see technological eye.
While he imagines its really simple to instantly locate and remove the file, this isn't reality.
They didn't go fast enough!!
Well with the couple billion other takedown demands, there might be a delay in them removing it.
There should be a fast lane for ME!
Lets ignore all of the other people who are suffering when assholes reupload footage that causes pain to others. Beheading videos, captured troops murdered, school shooting footage, footage of plane crashes, and a long list of things. These are all taken down, perhaps not at the speed you want but how much have to spent to build a better system?
The belief that somehow the platforms are making huge amounts of money from these horrible videos aren't really based on reality. But this belief fuels they that can do more because of all of the imaginary dollars.
Who ever suggested making it an NFT to him should be ashamed, but with that species of lowlife shame isn't something they can feel.
I am sorry people keep uploading the video, but what do you realistically expect them to do?
Hire everyone on the planet to watch the other halfs uploads in real time to make sure the video of her being murdered is never uploaded ever again?
Develop a drone program that gets close to peoples homes & remotely checks to see if they have a copy of the video and then destroy the computer?
I'm sorry you are in pain sir, but you need to stop listening to the people around you telling you its possible to stop it from ever being uploaded again. That isn't how any of this works & your pain has made you ignore reality.
It would be a perfect world where objectionable video never made it online, but the world isn't perfect & you can't demand it be perfect. You blindly ignoring truth because of your pain doesn't make you a better person, it makes you a dangerous person who has no problem with undermining everything else just to protect yourself.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Some AI generated works shouldn't be pub
I understand the open software idea your referring to.
But why is it bad that WordStar makes some changes to open office and sells it as WSO. Or Neo Office made some changes and sells it as NeoOffice?
These are, by definition, forks.
They make their non-compiled source available because that’s the rules of the licensing. But I don’t see why they should be required to.
How is the source source code harmed by someone else making changes elsewhere? And not releasing those changes.
I never quite grasped the idea that open office would be hurt if Neo or Star didn’t release the source of their changes.
It’s rather uncommon to find a total service lockout in a location that has multiple service options. Local and state regulations usually all renters some self-paid modification options. Nearly always that includes cable/internet.
Now: if a customer should pay a massive install and connection fee to an already wired location? That’s a separate problem.
The other item of discussion here: private property rights.
I believe you’re approaching this as if renting removes the owner right of control.
That’s a problem for me. What if trump simply bought a cable company. The apartment complex manager doesn’t want to have his name/company associated with that company. So they sign a pre-wire agreement with AntiTrump Cable.
Trump supporter can usually call up Trump cable and pay $99 or whatever to get the service installed and set up. Or they can call the office and tell the landlord to turn on AntiTrump cable for no install/service fee.
Now, we can argue that a property shouldn’t be single-service but many of these agreements include free or discounted installation for the property owner. By agreeing to terms with AntiTrump cable to wire every unit they have their new property wired with coax or fibre for a very discounted price or even for free. In exchange they are the primary pre installed service option.
It’s a good debate on who has greater rights, the owner or the renter.
And I honestly have reservations on throwing into either camp when there is only one possible option.
But as long as the renter can still chose another service, I have no problem with pre-wire agreements.
How is a non-artistic nor non-transformative video of an actual event copyrightable?
I thought there had to be some creative control, etc, over the creating of the art for it to be copyrightable?
