Yeah, but not everyone wants to be mandated to own facebook via taxes, why not allow the public to "opt in" to facebook ownership?
Setup some sort of system where people can buy a stake in facebook. Say I have five dollars. I choose to buy a small part of facebook with my five dollars, let's call that "stock". The amount of "stock" I would get would depend on market rates. You could even setup an exchange, called a "stock market".
To be fair, it's parts of the NZ gov't that let them get away with this in the first place.
Not to take away from the US gov't tinpot assbaggery (can we come to a consensus on that?), which is epic, but the raid was approved of and implemented by NZ gov't. Without NZ gov't complicity, this wouldn't have happened.
That being said, your judicial system seems quite respectable.
Ah, so you need the sock puppet version. Ok, so Universal, part of two cartels (the RIAA and the MPAA) that go after everyone under the sun for inducement to infringe, supporting piracy, conspiracy to defraud, secondary and tertiary infringement, etc... directly benefit from copying others' work. Second, as it is an official video, I'd be surprised in the extreme if the rights are not owned by BW's label, a subsidiary of... UNIVERSAL.
Is that not worth calling out? Do you not see the irony?
If not, please check your hands to make sure your thumbs are, in fact, opposable and you are not just a fish or possibly an amphibian flopping around on a keyboard somewhere.
NASA's livestream coverage of the Curiosity rover's landing on Mars was practically as flawless as the landing itself. But NASA couldn't prepare for everything. An hour or so after Curiosity's 1.31 a.m. EST landing in Gale Crater,the space agency's main YouTube channel had posted a 13-minute excerpt of the stream. Ten minutes later, the video was gone, replaced with the message: 'This video contains content from Scripps Local News, who has blocked it on copyright grounds. Sorry about that.'
My kids are 3 and have never watched cable tv. We went on a trip and at one point when the gownups were sorting out what to do that day turned on the tv for them.
They were by turns horrified and annoyed by:
1) interruptions from advertising
2) inability to watch a show from the beginning
3) inability fast forward through credits
4) inability to stop watching, and pick up show from same spot again later
5) inability to select what to watch
If/when they develop a sense of what "money" is, I can only imagine their bouts of confusion as on that day I explain to them that to get the interrupted, unpausable broadcast that caused them so much annoyance, they'd have to pay a lot more than netflix (which they love).
so, strawman claiming morrison actuallly offered any evidence, strawman about how "evidence" is "interchangeable", vulgar ad hominem with grammar mistakes.
