  Dumb

  Now see, this is just going to prompt people to leave negative reviews all over the place. Way to go. *claps*

  If one were so inclined, they could buy the copyrights then release the works under a Creative Commons license. How does that sound?

  They're still doing battle in the previous articles about Google.

• On the post: If I Were The MPAA… How I Would Deal With My Car Break-In

  3D printing

  Sadly, I don't think the steps would be much different if someone had simply 3D printed their own ipod.

• On the post: It's Never Enough: Both RIAA & MPAA Aren't Satisfied With Google Punishing 'Pirate' Sites

  Re:

  I would settle for Google delisting all content made by those represented by RIAA and MPAA from its search engine.

  And a new meme is born.

• On the post: Another Music Service Shuts Down, Blames Ridiculous Licensing Fees

  Ah hell not this shit again.
  
  And these trolls... seriously? Legacy labels aren't the only ones making music! Some of us listen to independent or Creative Commons tunes.

• On the post: Former MPAA CTO Tells The White House Why SOPA Is The Wrong Approach For IP Enforcement

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 08 Aug, 2012 @ 07:23pm

  Are there people making statements like this who STILL work for MPAA or RIAA?

• On the post: How Google's ContentID System Fails At Fair Use & The Public Domain

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 08 Aug, 2012 @ 06:03pm

  Re: Well how about asking users to stand behind their content?

  It would be nice if those claiming to be artists would stand by their words and provide links to their own works. Or a legitimate profile page.

• On the post: Legit Ebook Lending Site Taken Down By An Angry Twitmob Of Writers [UPDATED]

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 08 Aug, 2012 @ 11:22am

  Re:

  LOL yeah, a lot of them are in the paranormal romance/erotica genre, though there are some sci-fi and fantasy thrown in. A shame, since some of what I read fits those categories, but I refuse to reward the blatant kneejerk lack of due diligence.

• On the post: Authors Guild Asks For $750 For Every Book Google Scans; While Google Points Out That There's No Evidence Of Any Harm

  Re: Google's ace card

  I would love it if a database like that existed (if something like it already does, I haven't found it yet).

  Re: Re:

  I certainly appreciate the neon signs. Maybe they feel that research ends when the book is finished?

• On the post: Funnyjunk's Lawyer, Charles Carreon, Continues To Lash Out: Accuses Matt Inman Of 'Instigating Security Attacks'

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 15 Jun, 2012 @ 11:49am

  Schadenfreud?

  Just wanted to say, I'm getting the same kick out of these Funnyjunk articles that I do for the Righthaven ones.

• On the post: Correction: Earn My Money, HBO

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 07 Jun, 2012 @ 05:58pm

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Now why is entitlement ok for one (entertainment creator) and not the other (entertainment customer)?

• On the post: Correction: Earn My Money, HBO

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 07 Jun, 2012 @ 12:49pm

  Re:

  I wonder if they'd cash it. Hmm, perhaps someone should try it.
  
  
  Off-topic: no more posting via mobile anymore?

• On the post: Obama Administration: $1.5 Million For Sharing 24 Songs Is Perfectly Reasonable

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 07 Jun, 2012 @ 11:50am

  Re: For perspective...

  "and obviously sharing 24 songs MUST be quite more severe than killing someone unintentionally... since it has a $1.5 million fine."
  
  Yeah, because I'm sure they feel physically violated everytime someone shares. Sickening.

• On the post: Filmmaker Compares Copyleft Supporters To Anti-Gay-Marriage Advocates

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 07 Jun, 2012 @ 11:17am

  Nice

  It's always nice when someone indirectly tells me they don't want me as a potential customer/patron. Makes my pursuit of finding material to watch/view/listen to that much easier (but not easy enough).

  Re: Re: What it actually is

  Techdirt sees trolling as damage and routes around it.

• On the post: The Latest In Hollywood Mathematics: A 46.3% Employment Increase Equals 'Countless Jobs Lost'

  

  MahaliaShere ( profile ), 24 Apr, 2012 @ 02:51pm

  "I haven't "lost" every job I've never been hired for."
  
  Oooh but imagine if we were allowed to count those in the unemployment numbers.

• On the post: EFF Slams Righthaven CEO For Pretending He Can Ignore Court Orders

  Re: Time...

  Yes. If we're going to praise them for bringing in high profits, justifying their high pay, then they need to be held equally as accountable when it all goes stupendously poorly.
  
  Can't wait for MAFIAA to have their turn.
