  Re: so? (as gene_cavanaugh)

  on CNN Lawsuit Seeks To Show That Trump Can't Kick Reporters Out For Asking Tough Questions
  Imply Trump can ignore the first amendment? Ignore reasonable questions (which would make Trump look like a total coward - well, maybe, but his ego won't allow that).
  Nope - neither has a prayer of working.

  AI and copyright in art (as gene_cavanaugh)

  on Art, AI & Infringement: A Copyright Conundrum
  As an attorney, commentary on another's work is not grounds for infringement.
  BUT, anyone can sue anyone. It is a shame this suit was filed, and it should be thrown out on grounds it fails to identify a cause of action, but this isn't the fault of copyright - it is stupidity coupled with a flaw in the way the courts operate. We need to assess the costs of purely facetious actions on the plaintiff to discourage this sort of thing.

  Is this America, where the rule of law matters, or Nazi Germany?

  on Ajit Pai Throws His Employees Under The Bus After Investigation Proves FCC Made Up DDOS Attack
  "The market would solve the pollution problem without the government" - "the market would provide a safety net without the government" - is this guy a total idiot, or simply someone who hates history so much he is trying to rewrite it?
  I stopped listening; this was even worse than Trump saying the economy strength Obama created is actually due to him.
