Re: Techdirt demands US Gov't pay for crimes by drug dealers!
"This person should sue insurance company, not gov't; the insuror was paid for taking risk, and though the claim is large, the risk of it happening was proportionally low."
Another ridiculous argument. The truck was presumably not insured against joyriding or drug war games. The government agents obtained a private vehicle under false pretenses.
Re: Strong words from clown mis-using: "whipping post = a post to which offenders are tied to be whipped as a legal punishment".
This disgusting troll should always be ignored, but he happens to be correct about the use of "whipping post" instead of "whipping boy." That bothered me as well.
Patreon has thrown in with Paypal's longstanding jihad against adult content (including, on Paypal's part, freezing assets of anyone involved in sex work or advocating for those who do - regardless of the sexless nature of any particular transaction).
Accordingly, Mr. Sullivan has urged Patreon to show its fealty to the Puritan cause by banning various broad _fictional_ elements in art or games, and censoriously "working with" artists to force them to negotiate a growing list of taboos. In light of this, the self-puffery in his press releases is a bit insulting.
I'm not a content creator myself, just a fan of a wide range of artists. But seeing the hypocritical way Patreon treats its creators makes me loath to support the company with my dollars. I've had to seek out direct donation methods that Patreon can't skim.
Re: Re: Isn't kidnapping and slavery already illegal?
What you are missing is that
Apparently s/he hasn't been watching enough CSI, Nancy Grace, blaxploitation and Steven Seagal movies to understand the reality of today's "out of control" sex trade.
Here we see the divide between what MyNameHere claims to value and the bitter loathing expressed by his actions. The fact that news of an abusive SLAPP suit is all it takes to launch him into a session of frenzied public masturbation reveals all you need to know.
It also ignores the entire concept of free. If no one pays for human transcriptions, should media be illegal to offer at no cost to the public?
As it stands now, the ADA is the Harrison Bergeron of federal regulations. There's a good reason why trolls like Prenda have so eagerly glommed on to its "enforcement."
It doesn't have to make sense. In fact, it's better for the authorities if their requirements are illogical. Like all border harrassment, this shit is completely subjective, and ambiguous "rules" only cause the traveler to be the one who suffers. He/she is already presumed guilty.
Should these kinds of deals be approved, the cognitive dissonance among Trump supporters still convinced he's somehow a champion of the little guy ... should prove equal parts entertaining and terrifying.
Among the minority of Trumpeteers who even notice these events at all, the magic words "Hillary would have done the same!" can easily dispel any uncomfortable thoughts.
Indeed, the combination of the words «GETTY IMAGES» and «extortion» or «arnaque» (fraud) on the search engine Google bring us directly to your web site.
That such a specific set of search parameters might turn up a site critical of Getty is shocking, to be sure. Admittedly, when I Google myself, that's not usually how I do it.

Speak for yourself. He clearly mocked Hitler and nazism, which was pure hilarity until the state got involved.

Is that the moral of A Bronx Tale? Can't remember.
