  I'm just saying, this is total BS. There's no reason why they have to charge (even if it's just $6) for this. I'm fully capable of listing the appropriate DMCA agent on my website, which, presumably, people wanting to make a DMCA claim against, are visiting.

  They'll probably claim she was computer hacking. That seems to be the go-to charge if they can't find anything else.

  Proportional Response

  So he's going to demand that US tech companies provide stronger encryption by default and that our voting machines be open source an auditable?
  
  If I had uninvited people coming into my house, I'd buy a better lock instead of breaking into theirs.

  this story broke my irony alert.

  aethercowboy ( profile ), 31 Aug, 2016 @ 01:13pm

  I wonder where all these people got the idea that copying was theft. Do you think they came up with that idea on their own?

  Re: Re: "if enough people pretended, our shared hallucination could be a reality."

  It's funny, because when I tell my Republican friends my support of a Third Party Candidate(!) they say: "But then Clinton will win!"
  
  And when I say the same to my Democrat friends, they say "But then Trump will win!"
  
  It's like Schrodinger's Election.

• On the post: Dear US Olympic Committee: Tweeting About The Olympics Is Never Trademark Infringement

  

  aethercowboy ( profile ), 22 Jul, 2016 @ 11:09am

  All this effort has basically made it so people like me don't even realize there's an Olympics going on. Or is it over already? Has it started yet? I have no clue...

  aethercowboy ( profile ), 23 Jun, 2016 @ 12:10pm

  Isn't there a statute of limitations for this sort of thing? I mean, the supposed infringement happened before I was born, and I am old enough to run for senate.
