BTW a loopy tour of your excrescence, I mean, blog, reveals that you're always paranoid and raving about Google and the govt. as if they are one and the same while railing against the very spying that the pro-maximalists you claim to support are promoting.

Yeah, there's a basic flaw in that MY content IS interesting or at least provocative and so I somewhat aid Mike. I try to be boring and always get in a dig to offset it.

YOU, however, with your incessant knee-jerk empty yapping at critics, actually only detract from the site! Funny world, ain't it?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c273 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:31:36 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c273 But no, the glorious empire extends its favor even further by not demanding that they pay for the opportunity.
And yet still they continue to give as they also do not also sue those very people.
Does their grace know no bounds? No, it does not.
Hail the Hollywood Empire. Hail!]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c264 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:29:10 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c264
If it were illegal to "make donations," politicians would be forced to yield to the will of their constituents, those people who voted to give these morally-corrupt politicians the opportunity to serve their voters. . . and not themselves.

I've always thought, maybe naievly, that to minimize, if not altogether eliminate the influence of the deep-pocketed corporations on our politicians, we need term limits. Let no person serve in a political position for more than two years, and mandate that no person accept graft, or donations, if you will. Too many people get into a position of power where greed eventually comes knocking on their door - and they can't say no, because everyone else is doing it. Repeal this enormous farce that a corporation can be treated as a person - seriously, this is just too stupid to be even considered, let alone made into law. OK, rant over; my brain is too full of wtf.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c251 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:27:03 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130613/01121423439/hollywood-studios-keep-saying-its-employees-must-get-paid-now-may-be-forced-to-pay-its-interns.shtml#c251
Fanboys continue to drift away from Techdirt because there's nothing here one hasn't already read on other sites, except Mike's characteristic whining.

And since Mike is clearly a huge hypocrite on this topic, thinks laws against unpaid interns are silly while HE blithely exploits the minions, the fact is that all you CAN do as loyal ankle-biter is yap your fool head off at the critics.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130614/13242123475/california-ag-pretends-copyright-infringement-is-theft-charges-streaming-site-with-grand-theft.shtml#c1932 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:24:22 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130614/13242123475/california-ag-pretends-copyright-infringement-is-theft-charges-streaming-site-with-grand-theft.shtml#c1932

You know what's really sad? The completely idiotic angles you and the ACs are spewing are both so deluded and so similar, I am wondering if you're all the same person.

But of course you're not a laborer, you're a grifter. Your anti-labor stance is solid.

You think it's fine that someone at hollywoodreporter.com labors for YOUR benefit in writing the story so that you can grab the content and get money off it.

And you think it's fine your witling minions labor so that you can get money off their re-writing too.

In short, you're in the 1% privileged class who've never had to compete, and don't understand why laws are put in place to prevent The Rich from giving people "opportunity" which is sheerly to exploit their labor.

But of course you're a hypocrite to believe "laws against unpaid internships are kind of silly", and then wish for that to be enforced selectively against those you deem enemies, but not against you who have writers working for nothing. That's just SHEER hypocrisy.


Take a loopy tour of Techdirt.com! You always end up same place!
