If you point a camera at something and photograph or record it, it's copyrightable. The copyright applies to the fixed form of the recording, over which you had full creative control when capturing it. It doesn't need to be 'artistic' as such.
Not sure what point you're trying to make by comparing jurors who sit through days or weeks of professionals presenting evidence and legal doctrine to random internet commenters who clearly demonstrate their lack of understanding of how trails work.
Holy crap that's some terrible armchair lawyering. You should refrain from making such bold claims of fact on a topic you appear to have learnt about only from TV shows.
Do the American College of Medical Toxicology and American Academy of Clinical Toxicology have comfy armchairs?
"those of us who are on the "front lines" of this war..."
Sure you are skippy...
"if you believe this crap..."
Do I trust the word of actual medical professionals over that of literally any law enforcement personnel on this matter? Absolutely. Cops have zero credibility on this one.
It was a tough choice whether I should assume you're right or go with the advice of the Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection, but I'm afraid you lost.
You realise that a 'cure' is something used after infection right? The aim is to prevent or minimise transmission first. That's how vaccinations have virtually eliminated so many serious diseases.
"The FAA isn't concerned about finding data proving something is dangerous."
I'm pretty sure they are in fact concerned about finding data proving something is dangerous. It's a pretty important part of their job.
And when a government agency claims something is dangerous, as the FAA is doing here, it is totally unacceptable to withhold the evidence of those claims from other agencies and the public. What possible legitimate reason could they have for doing so?
"To the contrary, Lindell is a Christian who "is piously devoted to his religious faith, his family, civic involvement and charity." Thus, he would never "engage in any sort of scandalous" or secret romantic relationship."
Claiming Christianity as proof you'd never do anything wrong is quite a legal defence. It also seems to ignore much of the history of Christianity.
"I'll say internet service is more important than their research."
When talking about this internet service, you'd be very, very wrong.
"They can launch space-based telescopes to get around the light pollution."
You mean those things that take hundreds of millions of dollars and over a decade to design, build and deploy? Great solution skippy, let's just do that instead.
Calling it "silly comic book stuff" isn't necessarily dismissive. It's a perfectly accurate description of some really great recent movies, but also a few very average ones. The problem is that there's just been too much of it, and the movie industry expends a disproportionate amount of time and money on supposedly sure-thing money makers at the expensive of fresh original content.
Not that I think Ridley Scott has the answer here...

Re: Re: Re: Science
The fact that the world's population has not suddenly dropped by several billion people means that I can and will argue with that 'fact'.

"These Individuals are facists."
Let's add 'fascist' to the list of words you don't know the meaning of. Or spelling of.
They expect volunteers?
"...drivers who opt in will start being texted by cops when they've violated the law."
Who would do that?! Who thinks to themselves "I break road laws so often I might as well make their lives a bit easier"?

Re:
Not sure if you're trying to make an edgy point, but your definition of 'information' seems very limited.

Just to be picky, not a Vulcan...

His world is pretty safe. Next you'll be telling us that M60 of his is in case of home invasion. Or is that just his hunting rifle?

Karl has written abut the issues with Sinclair multiple times. Try to keep up.
Re: Legal Aspect
It's always funny when people who've obviously never read Techdirt feel the need to critique their editorial decisions.

Re:
As a fellow not-young Facebook avoider, but also a massive Ridley Scott fan, I took one look at this and thought "nah, not my thing".
It's always a shame to see your heroes turn into grumpy old men who can't accept we're in a very different world than 20 years ago.
