Fact #1: Email was created on the ARPANET. Fact #2: Ray Tomlinson invented email and sent the first email. Fact #3: The '@' symbol equals the invention of email. Fact #4: RFCs demonstrate email existed prior to 1978. Fact #5: CTSS, developed in 1960s, is email. After all, just because email wasn't called 'email' doesn't mean it didn't exist. To say otherwise is to claim that an American invented closets just because they were called different names in other countries.
I agree with you on Upworthy, but not on The Onion, which, being a satirical journalism site, is honest about the deliberate inaccuracy of its articles.
Well, a friend of mine says that IV absolutely do innovate. In fact, according to him, they have a bogus patent that describes spin doctoring on the Internet.
According to Wikipedia, the first email spam was sent by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1978. How'd that happen if this guy was in the process of getting a monopoly on 'his' invention, huh?
"I see your bribery and raise you laws that tell search engine providers to mystically know when something is infringing before they're informed that it is."
Sealed case, dipwad. That means you're correct in saying we have no evidence that there was no infringement, but on the flip side of that token, you have no evidence that there was. Simples!

Yes, I added a section from the ToS of the New York Times, simply because it's the grabbiest one I could remember.
I'm sorry to say, AC, but your third point is inaccurate. Posts such as "Mike Masnick just hates it when copyright law is enforced" meet the definition of "abusive, trollish, and otherwise inappropriate", thus fulfilling three of the reporting criteria, not two. Just sayin'.
