  on Get Ready For Classic Songs Of The 50s & 60s To Disappear From Internet Streaming Thanks To Copyright Lawsuits
  Why aren't radio stations lumped in with this? explain it to me like I'm five please... Shouldn't they (Zenbu) be also suing Clear Channel & others like them? Not only does Clear Channel have radio stations that play oldies, but you can also listen online via iHeartRadio... which last time I checked was a streaming site.
  I smell the distinct odor of collusion here.

  on NSA's XKeyscore Source Code Leaked! Shows Tor Users Classified As 'Extremists'
  The unbelievable irony of the NSA calling Tor users 'extremists' - the USG provides 80% of the funding for Tor(1)... so does that make the rest of the Gov't extremists too?

  Re:

  on The NYPD Sent Two Officers To The Kenyan Mall Shooting And Their Findings Are Directly Contradicted By The FBI's Report
  So the fundamental question still exists - WTF is the NYPD doing uninvited in a foreign country? How is this supposed to help protect the malls in NYC? Should the cops in Pasedena be sending their own special liasons too? Where do you draw the line? To anybody not living in the great dystopian state of NYC - this appears to be a monumental waste of money and manpower.

  on Beastie Boys Not Letting Goldieblox Off; Launch Massive Countersuit
  I've done my homework - perhaps you ought remove your foot from your mouth before commenting. As many others have said on this post - Weird Al doesn't *have* to ask permission to parody a song. He does so out of professional respect. Asking permission for a parody has nothing to do with Fair Use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Fair_use_and_parody
