I don't really go to the movies much anymore, but I'm thinking a trip to an AMC theater to see "Bully" is something that I can get behind. I will patronize good decisions.
I'd be interested in picking that album up. I love it when hip-hop artists step outside their comfort zones and try something different. Worked well for Mos Def, Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilities...to name a few.
Now the tough decision...do I buy it to show there's support for this album or jump on the "FUCK UNIVERSAL" bandwagon and just pirate it?
That's what I was thinking. Being aggressive about it, not only to show is "disavowment" but to also, hopefully, prevent other supporters from making such videos.

Agreed...but there's no way HotFile can know who has the rights to what. There will be obvious items. Such as WB trying to take down a Linux distribution. But what if the newest Batman was made by 20th Century Fox but WB has the distribution rights? There's just no way for HotFile to be able to know that.
"The only thing I'm not sure about here, though, is whether or not Hotfile actually has standing to bring such a claim. I would have thought that it had to be done by the actual copyright holder of the content taken down (or someone else injured by such a takedown)."
How wouldn't HotFile be injured by that? It make their service look completely unreliable simple for trying to comply with take-down clause in the DMCA safe harbors.
Facebook is giving up Places (Foursquare competitor) and Deals (Groupon competitor) and is now going after Instagram with plans to add filters to your photos on FB.
Instagram was all in a tizzy last night with lots of #IGaintFB posts. Apparently, for a good part of the summer, FB was trying to purchase Instagram. When that didn't happen, they just decided to copy it.
...and I'm not the least bit worried. See, Foursquare, Twitter and Groupon are all still around. This will be gone after a few months.
The case was about Bell denying service to a user based on the presumption that he was guilty of using the phone for illicit activity. Bell, being the owner of those lines...
In the BART case, we have BART - the owner of the repeaters - denying service to it's users based on the presumption that they were going to use their phones for illicit activity.
There will be an initial impact...but what do you think is going to happen in a few weeks when they announce the iPhone 5? This was a strategic move by Apple...this is absolutely THE BEST time for him to step down without lasting impact to Apple's value. Not only is the iPhone 5 coming out...but it's also going to Sprint (probably). So, now you've got 52 million more eligible customers in the US alone.
...plus all the 'back-to-school' products being sold...yeah, this isn't going to last past their next quarterly shareholders meeting.
Tomorrow there will be a good dip in their stock, but once they make that announcement...they'll easily be the most valuable company...
Why isn't this illegal?
It seems like this should be illegal. Like career politicians.
I'm not much of a movie guy...

Forgiveness vs. Permission
This all goes back to that age old saying: "It's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission."

Sounds like they're about to blow up the house trying to kill a mouse that's immune to explosives.

Actually, this was posted on Reddit...what they found was it was piss poor CSS code. Nothing more.

I really don't see how you can NOT see that.
