If you read through that article, the answer to the question of whether someone has likeness rights and can sue successfully over it is not "no" but "it depends".
Can't see how you would argue it's a gate to the users themselves.. You mean like for the ad vendors? The users are real people and can be accessed in all many of ways.
Yes, but that doesn't change the walled garden nature of the systems. The fact that a Facebook user has a mailing address, or an email address, or a Twitter handle, does not change the fact that to get to that Facebook user account, one must go through Facebook.
Protocol model sounds nice, but not particularly realistic
Just want to let you know I see what you did there and I like it.
The only person trotting out straw men is the FBI Director, who appears to believe any counterargument is made in bad faith. His straw men may be uncaptured terrorists or dead kids or whatever, but they're still straw men
That's not a straw man, unless he is claiming his opponents are in favor of terrorism and dead kids. It's scaremongering.
An insurrection where they had more American flags than Americans.
I get the sentiment, but this a No True Scotsman fallacy. Those were Americans through and through, as much as the rest of us may be disgusted by them.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: So how does DMCA apply to contract d
That sounds like "because the internet" to me... but since I'm a troll, I must be trolling :p
Correct, the DMCA's notice and takedown provisions only apply to works on the internet. You cannot issue a DMCA takedown to get a brick and mortar bookstore to take a book off its shelves for example.
We looked over the details, and highlighted that they wanted us to use their hash, meaning that they could easily reverse the hash and figure out the emails.
If you can reverse it and get the input back out, then it's not a hash. Hash algorithms are one way functions that map variable length inputs to fixed length outputs in a way that cannot be reversed. It may be possible to correlate the hashed value with other data sets and backtrack to an original email some other way, but it doesn't sound like that's what you mean.
Commerce Clause has nothing to do with it-- this is basic civil and contract law that's been around a lot longer than Arizona.
But if not for the commerce clause, states would be free to regulate contract law however they see fit, right? It's the commerce clause's preemption that makes this unconstitutional unless I'm missing something.
Who knows maybe someone at Twitter is boneheaded enough to think that the company having social media accounts including one on Twitter might be enough to confuse someone
They're claiming Tweet brand bird food might be advertised or sold on the web or social media, and Twitter is also there, so that would be confusing.
It greatly depends on jurisdiction, but in most areas in the US anyone over 21 can quickly, easily, and legally buy as much alcohol as they want with no authorization beyond proof of age. Cold medicine is more closely restricted and monitored. There is no quantity of alcohol it is illegal to possess. It is illegal to resell it however, which is a significant restriction. Overall I wouldn't call that heavily restricted - though there are as you mention a lot of hoops to jump through on the supply side.
I'm not saying we should crack down on alcohol, because we saw how well that went last time. I'm just saying it's a really harmful drug and kills tons of people, and is much more dangerous than a lot of drugs that will get you sent to federal prison for just having a small quantity of them.
Blame the Democrats for this crap in the first place for their insistence that tech companies can manage themselves.
Hang on, so the Democrats are the ones claiming private companies can manage themselves, and the Republicans are insisting that they must be managed by the government? Did you come here from opposite world, or is the Republican party embracing communism now?
I don't know, alcohol is a lot more harmful than some schedule 1 drugs. It would be better to sell weed in grocery stores and restrict sales of alcohol, but the public would not stand for it.
