"Clothing and fashion have never been considered covered by copyright for many good reasons"
As far as I can see, this can be generalised over pretty much everything copyright is used for. Copyright has one mechanism: to stop people doing things.
Difficult to know. What Yahoo advertise and what their labyrinthine scripts do may well be very different things. This is not unusual in large organisations. This could be the result of anything from Yahoos lawyers not knowing how these systems work, to the NSA giving it back and asking them to "find" it. Granting discovery is exactly the right thing to do.
What is the betting that the US gov suddenly takes an interest in cleaning up patent trolling in East Texas as a matter of priority? Either that or foreign companies find that East Texas isn't friendly except for local?
Now the question I have is: Why would these passwords still work? This is security 101, and not excusing Correa's actions, it would not have been possible had the Astro's had even the most basic opsec in place.
This isn't hacking. It's hardly even social engineering.
That it is possible to bring a case claiming the corporate profit overrides national laws regarding false advertising should be a worry. That there was an expectation that Philip Morris would win should be truly frightening. Imagine the precedent set had Philip Morris won - that it is a corporate right to mislead consumers? ISDS needs to be removed from all treaties as the abomination it is.
The IOC is making the whole Olympics so poisonous to host that they already have trouble getting hosts for the Winter one. Recall that the last one in London resulted in Londoners not being able to use their own roads - all for corporate profit - won't be long and they'll be having trouble finding hosts for the summer ones too.
They cannot legally serve papers if the organisation has no presence in the US. Any claims to have done so should be questioned by the courts and the case dropped for inability to serve. There should be no default judgement. Of course, when copyright is included in a case, all sense goes out the windo and anything can happen.
Even if this does go through, they'll simply add the "rental" on as some other rate hike... unlikely to actually save consumers any money... one other thing - haven't these guys figured out that almost no-one wants ads?
Gotta say "Boris Johnson, thinks" is: - a far more reasonable proposition than for some recent US presidents - not an endorsement.
I don't think Boris expected to "win" and was simply trying to take Cameron out. Of the 4 promises the leave campaign came up with: - control over immigration (they already admit no advantage) - more money for the NHS (... oh, not) - better trade deals (as this article points out - unlikely) - sovereignty - uhhh - well, that would be pretty Pyrrhic given that we won't be able to exercise it and get any trade deals at the same time - oh, and our bargaining position? Not good...
If Johnson does get the leadership, he's handed himself a poison chalice as he can't possibly deliver on his promises and those Leave voters that were persuaded by the campaign will be pretty angry when they find out. I for one don't think he should lead on the back of such a dishonest campaign.
Yeah - but no bot today could possibly be classed as alive. Not being alive, it doesn't die, even when destroyed. My vote is to get a bunch of competent people to rewrite copyright law from scratch.
So, what happens when a bot happens to spit out something that a genuine creator has actually come up with? Do you sue the bot for copyright infringement?
I'm sorry, but the vast majority of human output is not worthy of copyright protection anyway. What maximalists are missing about this is that each time they manage to extend copyright in some way, it becomes that much easier for larger portions of the population to hold it in the contempt it richly deserves.

The same NRA that suggested that the way to deal with guns in schools was to put a lot more guns in schools?
Either way, I think the parody works pretty well, at least on anyone not from the NRA.
