The Times writer is upset because without strong copyright protections (being flaunted by the nation of India!) George Orwell will not have proper incentive to create new works.
Very reasonable, since the only purpose of Copyright is to promote the arts.
Since Orwell hasn't made any new books - obviously we need stronger copyright!
Wow, seems like we need a good breakdown article similar to Ken Pope's "Is it Rico" that we can keep pointing at.
Perfect example of how tin foil hats try to "disrupt" science - it isn't their methodology to blame, it's the bad press preventing them from explaining why the Earth is flat.
Hey Blue Balls - Take your meds and stop shilling for the Nazi's. Let's remind everyone how you keep pushing your bullshit about the Jew Conspiracy and your White Power propaganda.
So what have you done, other than spew toxic hate?
Wait - are you talking about when Cadet Bonespurs pushed the model up against the wall and kissed her? Or when he grabbed the pussy? Or when he forced his (current) wife to have sex without consent? Or was it when he forced his mistress to get an abortion?
It doesn't require "Upload Filters" but it does require that technological measures must be in place.
If you can't find something else that works better than upload filters that is your problem....
Wait... so the company still had to pay the theaters for every visit? If they were able to "pay it forward" then the only place anyone would lose out was when a showing was at capacity and those who couldn't get in didn't see sometime else/something else.
This is the thing. For MoviePass to work they Needed some sort of deal with the theaters. Selling empty seats would have been a brilliant win-win for everyone!
Re: I think you could have just gone with "the nutty conspiracy"
He could have - but considering how some of the regulars have been screaming that this report "proves" something it is important to break it down and show just what it does and doesn't contain.
Even a nutter could have proof. This one doesn't however.

Re:
Covering the White House, and having the access a press pass provides, isn't a right. That's a privilege.
Just like driving a car!
And just like driving a car, the police can't take away your license for giving them the finger. See how that works?

It will be interesting to see if this pans out. A good ruling would be nice but I'm not holding my breath - it'll either get tossed or settled.
Still won't have any effect on the millions of false DMCA claims issued by bots - which the courts have repeatedly said can't amount to perjury.
