In August 2012, YouTube briefly took down a video that had been uploaded by NASA. The video, which depicted a landing on Mars, was caught by YouTube’s Content ID system as a potential copyright infringement case but, like everything else NASA creates, it was in the public domain.
It's still going on.
Last month I put up a NASA panel discussion+guide about moon photography (I dabble in it a fair bit)and got hit by an Adrev claim. I filed the counternotice, but it took the 30 days for it to expire (last week, on the 5th) rather than it be straight cancelled.
Very annoying.
It shows he can take anything and get an indictment out of it.
So, I can't wait to see how many charges he'll bring against law enforcement agents the next time there's enough public outcry over misconduct in his jurisdiction. I mean since he's THAT good at getting them, a police officer shouldn't be an issue.
Or is it the opposite. He'll fail to, because he can lead the grand jury any way he wants....

sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander, right?
So, if revealing information before things are substantiated might be dangerous or otherwise potentially negative for the named, does that mean that the NYPD will have an absolute blanket ban on revealing the names of any and all suspects until they have been convicted?
I mean, I'm pretty sure accusing many people of a crime will potentially put them "at risk and would affect their employment prospects".
Or is it another example of 'special' carve-outs because they feel they're better and more important and so should have far greater protections than anyone else.
my local district (an hour south of Paulding) made a big announcement about how only 3 tested positive across the whole district, and that one of those was already quarentined since school opened on monday.
What they tried to slip past, was that those were just the figures 'today' (meaning since tuesday school got out) and they hadn't released figures before that.
Nathanial Woods is on death row in Alabama because he 'was there' when 3 cops were killed. He did nothing, but under the Tison standard in Alabama, it just needs a reckless indifference to human life.
So whoever the corrections officer was in Donaldson back in October, that's homicide (Alabama Criminal Code § 13A-6-2). Charge him. He did it under color of law, so that should be automatic death penalty (aren't we told it's a deterrent? If it's not going to 'deter' the 'good guys in law enforcement', then it's not going to deter anyone is it?). It won't be, but carrying a badge should be the HARSHEST penalty available, not the weakest and certainly not a lesser charge.
Ok, here's the bit they're REALLY not going to like.
Alabama has an accomplice law, Code § 13A-2-23
A person is legally accountable for the behavior of another constituting a criminal offense if, with the intent to promote or assist the commission of the offense:
(1) He procures, induces or causes such other person to commit the offense; or
(2) He aids or abets such other person in committing the offense; or
(3) Having a legal duty to prevent the commission of the offense, he fails to make an effort he is legally required to make.
So, all the officers around him are accountable for that officers actions, because they didn't make an effort to stop him.
Now, the report also says the investigation was stymied by the ADOC. You knwo what that sounds like? That sounds like conspiracy to conceal the homicides by acting in a way to further the actions of the killer by protecting them from investigation.
(a) A person is guilty of criminal conspiracy if, with the intent that conduct constituting an offense be performed, he agrees with one or more persons to engage in or cause the performance of such conduct, and any one or more of such persons does an overt act to effect an objective of the agreement.
(b) If a person knows or should know that one with whom he agrees has in turn agreed or will agree with another to effect the same criminal objective, he shall be deemed to have agreed with such other person, whether or not he knows the other's identity.
And the penalties?
(f) Liability as accomplice. Accomplice liability for offenses committed in furtherance of a conspiracy is to be determined as provided in Section 13A-2-23 .
(g) Criminal conspiracy is a:
(1) Class A felony if an object of the conspiracy is murder.
So, since we have a Person (man/woman) who likes to say to a camera for TV that they're all about the 'law and order', then let's start charging these people.
Or are these accomplice laws only for people who happen to be 'there' when something happens, and not for officials who go out of their way to hide crimes through concerted efforts?

There's one absurdly easy way to tell that Charter's claim that "customers want caps" is a lie.
If it were true, I'd have gotten an email from Charter (as would all their other customers) asking us to tell the FCC that.
In fact they've kept it hidden. Almost like they don't want us to know, because they think we might oppose it or something.
