Luggage is going to be lost, just like UPS packages and other things. It's a fact of life until we get a better system into place where everything has a radio chip embedded in it so that the airlines can track EXACTLY where everything is at any time.
Agreed. Personally, I wish that we would treat children more as adults today (outside of things such as killing someone else, which most children and even teenagers don't understand totally) and make them take responsibility for their own actions and INactions.
That means getting rid of 'statutory rape', 'child sexual abuse', etc. and putting VERY short SoL's on forcible rape.
Because basically, after as little as 1 month... it's a 'he said, she said' and MANY teenagers and children go whining to the cops about sexual relationships they were in, to penalize someone else for ending the relationship in question.
No, it doesn't make the 'charges much worse' in the slightest. The fact is that the whole 'minor' thing is a straw man. Frankly, on the beach this summer, I saw a female who I could have SWORN was 21.... she was 12!
She was a goddamned BODY DOUBLE for a female who was in Playboy.
It's time to realize that this whole 'minor' thing is meant to treat children as 'lesser' and 'less worthy' of rights than adults are. That is not the case in the slightest, children are absolutely EQUAL to adults except in terms of physical power.
Actually, no, it isn't. It is illegal to take the photos and use them for PROFIT PURPOSES without a written consent form.
Otherwise, beach photographers would have to get every single person to sign a release before putting their pictures up in their photography shops.... that is not how it works.
If you are out in public, you have NO right to privacy, period and done with.
Now, if someone is violating your PROPERTY RIGHTS as the FBI wishes to by putting something on your car? That is another story and under another facet of law to be challenged.
True. Even homemade candy is VERY safe and also, many times has less chemical additives in it than the pre-packaged stuff.
This needs to be sent out LOUD AND CLEAR by the mainstream media, to make people realize that there are VERY FEW people sick & twisted enough to want to poison children on Halloween.... and most of them are the kid's own parents!
This is stupid... why the hell should you have to REGISTER for safe-harbor protections? Sheer stupidity here, and I think that this part of the DMCA needs to be looked at again and rewritten to say that you have to OPT OUT of these protections.
Actually, 300 euros is about 600 dollars in the United States. NOT REASONABLE! A more reasonable thing would be .99 cents (if he didn't buy the track in question) AND maybe 25 dollars as a punitive fine.
Good politicians realize that we don't need to worry about this, and a better way to 'protect children' would be to simply bring pedosexuality out into the open.
The fact is that it is a TOTALLY NORMAL sexuality that is being used as a 'boogie man' in order to frighten families into thinking that their children are in 'danger' every second of every day.
Yes, I know that children are 'snatched' by pedosexuals, but if you look at things, those are usually the pedosexuals who have TRIED to abide by the laws and end up going insane from lack of sexual gratification.
On to the article itself. I am betting that she had a thing where on a CASE BY CASE BASIS, she had to give permission to use her photographs.
If the photographer included photos that the woman said "No, I don't want those to be put in the magazine!" because they were too explicit or something similar?
THEN the photographer should be in trouble, not Playboy France.
That is why the 'metered internet usage' needs to be stomped upon by the FCC, who have to say that if you offer a certain speed, you have to be able to download at that speed 24/7 with NO 'metering' of your service.
Personally, I 'overuse' Comcast's service nearly every month (though they keep on saying that I only use 230GB's a month, the figure is closer to 1TB).
The last time they tried to get on my case about it? I told them "Okay, then I will switch to FiOS and drop my cable TV as well! I will also tell my family and friends to do the same!"
Their tune changed REALLY DAMNED FAST after that!
Re: Re: Re: The jury will hand the tool makers their asses
Ah, but when you are using 'Incredibly Ripped Purple Pants', anyone with a brain would think of the Incredible Hulk wearing those in the movie.
If you just said "Ripped Purple Pants".... I would just think of the things like my young cousin wore: holey as hell purple shorts/pants that are 'in fashion' today.
Still protected under the parody laws, RD. Need I remind also that they tried that bullcrap, and the courts ALREADY came down on them hard by ruling AGAINST that stuff, as long as the person in question said "I am not affiliated with Disney/Marvel/whoever in any fashion!"
That is how fanfiction and adult fanfiction websites get around those IP laws, by posting disclaimers on their stories.
No, they wouldn't. They would just have to plaster the Incredible Hulks likeness and name (the full name) on the package.
The word 'Hulk' has been around for years, if not centuries. It is a word that means 'very powerful' and has for a long time. Hulking brute dates back to 1700's England, at least.
Simple: they brand it as "Disney's Hulk Tool Set" and we move on!
Frankly, "Hulk" cannot be patented or trademarked, it was around a long time before The Incredible Hulk was even THOUGH OF! It's a word dating back years, if not centuries.
Now, "The Incredible Hulk" meaning the character and it's IMAGE can be patented and trademarked. As long as this company making this power tool is not using the full "Incredible Hulk" name and image on their packaging or tool?
It's time and dandy by the CONSERVATIVE interpretation of the law.
This is the exact reason why our Founding Fathers said that absent a VERY good reason (and the populace speaking out against something if it is public is not a good enough reason) everything has to be PUBLIC and nothing is allowed to be 'secret'.
Some people all over the world in democratic nations need to be looking at prison time unless they make these negotiations public and allow the PEOPLE OF THE WORLD to chime in on why these things are a good idea or a bad idea.

Really, I don't care here. I think that 'of age' bullshit is a remnant of religious morality, and needs to disappear.
