conveniently eliding the point that we then have to sign up/pay for -what?- a half dozen, a dozen services, any one of which is a mere fraction of the titles we want to see... well, gee, might as well keep my teevee cable since that now ends up being cheaper than paying 10 online services 10 bucks each so i can get the 5% of the movies *they* have in their library...
but they're 'widely available', you know, just like gold is 'widely available' in seawater...
we oh-so-smart nekkid apes look back with scorn and disdain on our ancestors who lived through perilous times, and we shake our heads in condescending superiority, and say to ourselves and each other: "how could those idiots NOT see what was happening ? "...
um, hate to break the news, but we're IN one of those times, *now*, and WE DON'T (won't) see it...
*our* children's children will look back and say "how could those idiots NOT see what was happening ?"...
careful, now, you're gonna get issued a tin-foil beanie ! ! !
EVEN THOUGH The They (tm) HAVE been making mini-holding camps all over the place, and HAVE been buying up all the ammo in the fucking world...
i worked on the design for one (without knowing what it was until after the fact)... i was designing/drafting the metal buildings that had chainlink storage areas and security offices for the camps... didn't really think about it until some time after i did that job, but that is damn sure what they were...
no, YOU are the idiot here: as the other poster said 'do unto others...'; IF the scumbag kop believes that, then certainly he has NO PROBLEM with being treated the same way he has treated others, richtig ? ? ?
get it, nom nuts ? ? ?
'we' are ONLY doing unto HIM that which HE HAS ALREADY DONE TO OTHERS, so -assuming the kop is not an amoral psychopath, by no means a foregone conclusion- THEN said kop would have NO OBJECTION to being treated like the scumbag has treated others...
12 years a slave ? read the book, saw the movie, pretty close accounting... as per usual, movies are just too shallow and time-limited to include ALL that is in a book, but followed the book pretty well..
IF it is 'impossible' (?really?) for the COPYRIGHT HOLDERS to recognize THEIR OWN WORK (or the converse, to recognize what ISN'T their work) as being infringed upon*, then how in dog's name do you expect 'average' nobodies who have little knowledge/experience with copyright to do so ? ? ?
that is insane... as per usual, you expect 'normal' people to do what 'experts' can not; and forgive the 'experts' for their MULTITUDES of failures, but will enforce draconian punishments on innocent traducers, no matter HOW minor the (so-called) 'damage' is... you are not fair or symmetrical in your judgments in any way...
*i do NOT believe for one second that 99.99% of the time it is 'impossible' (or even difficult) for a copyright holder to either recognize their own works, or recognize what ISN'T their own works... IF that is the case, that implies their 'creation' was so commonplace as to defy any recognition as their 'own' creative work...
i have created hundreds/thousands of graphics, and other physical objets d'art: i can not IMAGINE *NOT* recognizing my own work... hell, i remember specific grain patterns from bowls and platters i turned years ago; i remember the little (generally unnoticeable) flaws that i didn't *quite* sand all the way out (and, yes, it bothers me to death)... i remember -out of hundreds of pieces turned on a lathe- that i left a teeny, tiny smudge of a fingerprint on a finish on the bottom of a bowl, i remember ALL THAT SHIT after spending DOZENS of hours turning, sanding, finishing a bowl/platter/etc... THEY ARE MY BABIES, and i love them all, even with the imperfections no one else sees...
Re: Re: and now for something completely different...
realizing that in Empire, 99 times out of a hundred, that was a white boy, wouldn't have been NOTHING made of it...
and that FAR TOO MANY TIMES out of a MILLION times as many 'incidents' (driving while black, walking while black, living while black, etc) happen where a black person is killed on sight...
i can ONLY despise such an Empire... i can ONLY imagine the justified rage of those at the hind end of Empire... i can ONLY beg forgiveness for being part of such an Empire... i can ONLY despair when bread, circuses AND a shiny ifucking phone keep the rabble in line...
i *understand* IF a black person would want to slit the throats of every white person on the planet; didn't say i condone it, or would put my whitebread/cracker neck on the block voluntarily... said i *understand* it...
SAME as i *understand* if ANY OF MILLIONS of moose limbs despise US, and want to slit our throats... if i'm joe achmed, and you drone *MY* family/tribe/town, fuck you to death, is what i ululate...
...although it could be argued that a cheney-esque disregard for poorer, darker people he engendered along his entire career, is semi-responsible for this: the young black man MURDERED in the walmart because some lying fat slob of a cracker called 911 on him GROSSLY EXAGGERATING what was going on ('i'm gonna be a hero, i'm gonna be a big fat stupid, ignorant shithead hero ! !!'), and was subsequently MURDERED on sight by PIGS, said PIGS have NOT been indicted by the grand jury...
unfortunately for the lying pigs, they had to release the surveillance videos which -surprise- SHOWS THEY ARE LYING MURDEROUS PIGS...
i tell you what, i would COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND and sympathize if EVERY BLACK MAN in amerika rose up and slit the throats of every white person...
there is NO JUSTICE, only might makes right... where does that leave *us*, kampers ? ? ?
thank you, i had started a post along those lines, but just didn't want to bother...
have always harbored a desire to have a face-to-face somewhere, sometime with the human-shaped POS called whatever...
but -realistically- he is such a wormtongued, wimpy fucktard, i can't imagine giving him the thrashing he so richly deserves, as he sits blubbering, shaking, and pissing his panties...
he is a pitiful coward and bully... (as well as a high RWA)
this brings me to a point i find idiot libtards can not fathom: with THEIR uber-PC attitudes, THEY are laying the groundwork for unka sam to go full Big Brother on them ! ! ! they are building THEIR OWN JAIL CELL, bar by bar, and are too fucking stoopid to realize it...
these shrill shrikes wailing about this and that PERCEIVED slight, or butt-hurt-by-proxy bullshit 'crime against humanity' ARE PAVING THE WAY FOR TOTALITARIANISM...
idiots: the puppetmasters are only TOO HAPPY to have clueless pearl-clutching libtards (and others) do the heavy lifting for them of establishing a CITIZEN-APPROVED censorship regime and criminal sanctions for living life...
morons, AS IF THEY control WHO will be the next 'inappropriate' cohort to be struck down in the name of CONFORMITY and the trains running on time...
no, as all this is put in place, The They(tm) will let the 'good' prejudice FOR -say- gays, etc, AGAINST domestic abuse, stand... but it won't be long until THE SAME PRINCIPLES are applied to the dissidents, ne'er-do-wells, and other citizens critical of society based on the criteria of The They(tm)...
oh, as an aside, please name me the other industries where ALLEGED domestic abuse perpetrators are being ridden out of their jobs on a rail ? ? ? but pro athletes -some, what?, .01% or less of the population are going to be made 'an example' of ? ? ? yeah, that will solve the problem, we got all three of 'em now... *snort* of derision...
gosh, funny how they don't start with a more -let's say- high profile, capable cohort -like business executives, or politicians- who have FAR MORE influence on society than mere gladiators... funny that...
while i understand you are talking about the *supposed* mandate given to each spook agency, etc; the problem is, they have ZERO trust or 'goodwill' left, such that I DO NOT BELIEVE ANY THING THEY SAY... that would INCLUDE the idea that *maybe* the nsa *does* have their own little black bag squad, or hit squad, or whatever...
THAT is one of the fundamental problems with secret institutions which are NOT amenable to oversight of nearly any form: WHO KNOWS wtf one, a handful, a special operations group, a high-ranking bureaucrat, etc are doing within the blacked out portions of their brief...
BECAUSE it is all hush-hush, ALL KINDS of corrupt shit goes on which NO ONE will ever hear a word about, because it is 'compartmentalized' and the tapes DID get burned...
no, i don't trust those bastards as far as i can thrown them...
1. r u kidding me ? this is fantastic: taking otherwise basically pedestrian (or 'worse') clips and mashing into a new coherent work ? ? ? da-yam ! ! !
2. i would bet that he puts in 100 times the amount of time/effort in any one of his compositions, than a 'regular' musician devotes to any particular song...
3. like the lady who figured exposure in such a form was better than nothing, but even better if she realized that beforehand... c'mon, how many of us are chomping at the bit to hit up that new cello clip on utube ? ? ? yeah, no one...
really, IF the cleats were on the other foot, you KNOW the nfl would not sell that tape/rights for $30 000...
but *then* IF the nfl were in that position, you KNOW whatevs would talk out the other side of his ass and blather on about 'whatever the market would bear', 'their right to set the price', blah blah blah, bullshit bullshit bullshit...
dog almighty you are a disgusting authoritarian...
tell you what, smartass, tell us HOW MANY precious israelis have ALL THE palestinian rockets IN HISTORY KILLED, TOTAL ? ? ? how many, smart ass ? ? ? oh, you mean there are more people killed by their own fireworks in the usa every year than have EVERY been killed by the palestinian 'rockets' ? ? ? you mean you ARE a fucking coward and a pussy who doesn't know shit about shit ? ? ? that's what i thought...
