For carefully-arranged food in a famous restaurant, the cook is regarded as the creator of a work. So when I eat the food, am I violating the moral rights of the chef by 'destroying' their 'carefully-arranged art piece'? 0_0
Actually, in such a situation the copyright would remain with the chef since, under EU law, the copyright in a contracted work no longer automatically passes to the contractor. :(
In the section of the Loompanics article entitled Market Position, Wikipedia states the following: According to Gia Cosindas, Amazon.com, eBay, and Google refused to allow Loompanics to advertise on their sites, since some of the books' content violates their editorial guidelines. Specifically, Google wrote, "At this time, Google policy does not permit the advertisement of websites that contain 'the promotion of violence [and] drugs or drug paraphernalia.'" That's not a First Amendment violation, granted, but it is still censorship.
Let me rewrite this so it makes it clear: "Repeatedly, we've been threatened by ISP lobbyists and lawyers that if ISPs don't get 'X' (no net neutrality rules, deregulation, more subsidies, the right to impose arbitrary new tolls, whatever), the ISP will choke the Internet in collusion with other incumbents and grind it to a halt." Amazing how a few simple changes to wording can make a claim a reality. ;D
This was in response to yet another of the FBI's homemade terrorist plots, in which an undercover FBI informant gave some clueless individuals both The Anarchist Cookbook and Inspire Magazine and told them to read it. Dianne Feinstein must be truly clueless to not realise that if you make anything out of The Anarchist Cookbook, you're extremely likely to blow yourself up before you get the chance to blow anybody or anything else up, which totally destroys the point of using it for FBI-goaded 'terrorists'.
Incorrect. AT&T is the NSA's (all too willing) catamite. After all, I've never known a bitch who wouldn't snap if she was unwilling to take what the male dog wanted to shove into her.
Has anybody else in history ever encountered an "extreme willingness to help" from a phone company? Yes indeed, Parker. T-Mobile showed an extreme willingness to help themselves to £30 ($46.85) of my money for nothing in return.
Wikipedia could have told you that before Leigh wrote this article. Being absolutely honest, though, before googling the band, I thought they were named after a state highway or something. XD
Fiber could supply electrical power to every home at a MUCH greater efficiency than copper. Sounds great. *does a quick double take* Hang on, fibre optic cables are made out of glass, which is an atrocious conductor of electricity. Light only, boyo.
Actually, don't waste your time. Being official outlets, they'll just remove the memes either before their government notices them or in full compliance with 'requests'.
With the caveat that the author has the freedom to pre-arrange the fees up to the maximum allowable such that if I were part of that scheme I could make big companies pay me the full whack, but if someone wants to do a fan translation of one of my songs, they can go right ahead for bugger all.
Shorts stock, buys low. When stock rises again, sells high. How is that not insider trading when he's using the information he gained by shorting the stock in the first place?
