That's how easy it is to do. Somewhere along in time, a lot of people decided that, for whatever reason (too busy, no time, inattention to detail, lazy, easily distracted,...), proofreading was unnecessarily costly and too much trouble.
Add to that this CBP agent also couldn't be bothered to test that his forwarding rule was actually doing what he intended. Combine those two failures and, when it finally comes a cropper, he (and his employer) get to wear egg on their faces while damage control kicks in.
TD even supplies a "Preview" button, and that malformed Three Letter Acronym (TLA) is wearing a squiggly line underneath it put there by my browser's spell-check.
Trust, but verify. Or look funny when eventually found out. :-)
FYI, I had no idea "Sheo" was autistic until he mentioned it days ago, nor would I have cared if he was. I treat individuals as individuals, period. He appears to be using his "disability" as a crutch, which is no skin off my nose (I don't care). I'd rather he stood up on his hind legs and demanded to be considered equal to the rest of us (which he is!) despite his (apparently) debilitating handicap, but I can't do that for him. I don't consider autism a handicap, yet he does. Weird, but none of my damned business.
I'd be more than happy to just drop this now and never contact him again. I was hoping to help him see reason by my post, nothing more.
I'm done with this. Sorry I couldn't help. :-) Bye again.
I've noticed that if you mention "boycott" and/or point out they (MafiAA) are not producing anything these days worth buying, you never see a reply. Curious.
Boycott MafiAA. Their !@#$ ain't worth nothin', not even if it's free.
Just like the NSA's hasystack, it's wrong to call this "Intelligence Gathering." It's "*Data* Gathering." It's not *intelligence* until someone sifts *the data* for *the intelligence* contained within.
It's really annoying to me this's still misunderstood.
Makes one wonder just how much money the Russian Mafia makes from the sale of Vodka. :)
I doubt they bother with that market. I saw a TV show that aired an episode from Moscow. A guy was brewing vodka in a pot on a stove. If it's that easy, there's no *real* money in it. There's far more to be made far more easily selling Afghan heroin to junkies.
Criticizing IP laws is not the same as saying fraud is OK.
Well, if they repeat the lie often enough, it may eventually drown out the truth. There's a lot of lazy and stupid out there. It might work, if noisy contrarians like us don't fight it. However, with the likes of Cervantes and Voltaire on our side, how can we lose? :-)
Well damn if this is not obviously another illegal scam perpetrated by LAWYERS, which means the courts should be able to respond to this new crime spree in about five years. And maybe even get a conviction in less than a decade from now.
Sigh. Oh, and I admit I'm the first person who'll pull the "f-bomb the lawyers" card, however we do need to remember Popehat's out there doing great stuff and he's a lawyer, and there was NYCountyLawyer (I think) on Slashdot who was doing the same great stuff, so we really shouldn't be damning the entire legal profession just because it's infested with ambulance chasers and Prenda type charlatans. EFF has great lawyers too, and Mike's stories point out often that many other good guys/gals(?) are out there too. What needs to be done is get good actors to purge the bad actors. *Why* that's not happening is a mystery and tragedy, but it should be fixable.
Lawyers know full well that the courts are not eager to charge lawyers with fraud in these kinds of scam cases, as it reflects badly on all who practice law.
Wait a second. That's backwards! Bad actions reflect badly on those who perpetrate bad actions, yes? Good guys should want bad actors to be brought to the light (or justice) so they could puff out their chest and shout "I'm not like those jerks, which is why you should hire me!" So, good actors should want to cleanse the bad actors from their midst, or profession.
Yeah, and this doesn't appear to work wrt cops either, damn.
How many years has it taken for the courts to even admit that Team PRENDA is crooked?
Jury's still out and time's counting every day they're not in jail or still able to legally practice law. Just enjoy the popcorn while it lasts.
Until the court of public opinion is forced to deal with this mess as it does with the rest of us, this kind of scam will escalate, and the lawyers know it, so get used to it.
FTFY (sorry; I hate that too). I can't, and won't, get used to it. This needs to be fixed, damnit. It's gone on way too long now, considering Shakespear was complaining about it, ffs.
What a nutbar! What an imbecile! What an ultra-maroon!
I'm sure you can find some ambulance chaser who'll sue Google for stalking you. What are you waiting for? Oh, wait. That'll wind up making yourself even more (in)famous.
Ah, do it anyway! What've you got to lose? It's not like anyone's ignorant of your shortcomings by now. Google's telling the whole world (and the aliens listening in) what you've been up to all along! Aiiiiee!!!
And all Simpson can do is pull his nostalgia gig about how things used to be different when people would forget your embarrassing things in the past. But that doesn't answer the question at all. It just makes Simpson seem totally out of touch with the modern world.
Actually, it makes me curious as to what in his past Simpson is hoping will stay hidden. What's he been up to, I wonder?
Being Autistic, I often focus on the details and lose sight of the bigger picture ...
So, you should get a pass to do that because you're autistic? You can hurl insults and ad hominems when you fail to read others' minds, but it's alright because you're autistic? Is that the kind of world you hope to bring about? Perhaps it's just that you lack self-control and it has nothing to do with autism.
In which case it would rely on the manual, as opposed to automatic (ContentID), method. If you don't want to have to use the manual method, don't abuse the automatic method.
Since when? Did he assign the copyright on his works to some other entity? No. You're an ass for believing he did.
You apparently hate artists and resent them having the right to do with their works what they choose, which is pretty odd to say the least for an imaginary property maximalist. Die screaming in a fire! The world would be a better, more civilized place if people like you weren't in it. You're little better than a thief, and nobody wants to suffer thieves.
... finding the file wherever Firefox chose to save it ...
Wouldn't that be the same place it always saves things? That's configurable via "Preferences". Or, do you have multiple devices where FF on each is configured to save things in different places? That'd be silly.
So you're saying the artist who created the work has no right to control what happens to his work? He wants to give his fans *the right* to do whatever they wish with his work. Exerting copyright on those works is the opposite of what he wants done with his works. No, you can't have it both ways! He retains copyright, and freely gives his works away to anyone who wants them. Assuming they then gain the right to lock them up is asinine.
This's not difficult to understand, though it's hard for some to understand things that affect their wallets.
I thought we were hoping for it to be enforced. Bogus takedowns are perjury! That's being ignored. That's wrong, and the perjurors should be brought to justice and punished. They shouldn't be getting a free pass through buying our elected representatives.
Of course they do. You fail to understand they're attempting to reshape reality according to their wishes. There's no misunderstanding here on their part. This is how propagandization works. Tell a lie often enough and maybe it'll drown out inconvenient truth. You waste your time trying to educate them. They've no intention of learning what you teach.
The thing that really matters is: "We cannot reveal [anything], because that would endanger sources, methods and intelligence operations."
The whole truth is that they consider those things are of primary importance and *we're not.* We get to pay for it, be inconvenienced by it, possibly even die for it, but it's not about us nor what we might want or consider important.
"Le e'tat, c'est moi." We're just the proles who finance their hobbies.
Silly, he's in Heaven playing patty-cake with the late, great J.C., laughing at the futility of the IRGC's malevolence, not to mention their thick-headedness in not realizing that his deity is the same as their deity, though named differently (Yahweh vs. Allah).
It's not just the intelligence community that does this. They're just going with the flow. Popehat's done a story on this ("http://popehat.com/2015/08/17/if-you-disagree-with-this-post-youre-joining-a-bullying-lynch-mob/") .
