But there is a story here. It calls directly to their authority and how much we believe them. They cannot, or will not, provide documentation that they licensed the video. Why? It's a simple matter of showing said document with the personally identifiable information redacted. Saying they don't have to shows us they have no respect for the public, and that needs to change.
Not the same thing. If you asked the right holder if they had given ICE permission to use the video, and they said "no" even though the answer was really "yes," then you'd have a parallel situation. But that's not the case here.
What if the answer really was 'no, but we don't control that content'? In which case it doesn't matter if the answer was yes or not, because they could not have provided the permissions necessary. It wasn't within their rights. So by calling those sites out as infringing have they not perjured themselves? Lying to a court is supposed to be punished.

Right now, it's regulars who are leaving or posting less.
Not buying it. Don't see it, and don't see how you could ever prove such a thing. There are more regulars posting more regularly than ever from my perspective.
Copytards should rejoice they are about to get a backdoor on one thing they wanted bad, criminal prosecution of anyone who breaks American law.
That has to be the most nonsensical thing I've heard all year. At least until I read the link. Still, I don't see the link between your so-called 'copytards' and this law?
First you make up a stupid name for yourself. Then you launch a "singing" career that involves you making an ass out of yourself in public and having people laugh at you, and then you show up claiming you are a serious artist, while you are busy mostly sampling others and trying to act like you have a clue.
You've just described how many comedy artists? You tell Weird Al Yankovic that he's not a serious artists. Obvious it takes more talent than you think, but we're still figuring how much thought you actually posses.
By doing this, we're guaranteeing that other countries will do the same thing for U.S. works.
That's bullshit. This hasn't worked in the past, why do you think it will work now? Just because we do it does not guarantee that others will follow. If anything they will balk just to avoid being like us.
A tomato being a physical object? Yes. A tomato is sold as a single-use object. You use it, and it's gone. Not so with CDs, DVDs, etcetera. If their use is limited it needs to be said up front.
Ahh, yes. It's negative to ME, so it doesn't qualify, but I'll use 'pirate' despite the negative and INCORRECT connotations because it supports my side. You can't have it both ways. If you must use 'soft' language, then you do it for both sides.
"Piracy really is not the bigger issue for our company or for our library," Lang said. "It's been a lack of exploitation, just not getting it out there."
You do realize that people go to college to become chirpractors, too, right? And yet the efficacy of the care they provide hasn't been proven, either. So, Peabrain, the mere existence of a practice does not prove the practice. Next time try to at least utilize a tiny portion of the shriveled mass you describe as a 'brain' to do some critical thinking instead of off-the-cuff attacks and worthless 'rebuttals.'
The difference is that they are not giving the authors any rights. The authors are long dead, and unable to exercise those rights. They are giving rights to corporations and middlemen.
Ahh. I see you don't understand what this is about at all. Maybe if you went back and read it, you might start to comprehend just how nonsensical your comment was.
