  And yet

  Fifty Shades of Grey is sold brazenly. Way to drop the ball, Georgia.

  No interviews

  Even odder, you can apparently avoid an interview with FBI agents altogether if you're savvy enough to insist on doing it at your lawyer's office with a recording device.
  
  Harvey Sivlergate breaks it down.

  So, how much did you pay Mike for this article?

  Give them credit

  At least they're being blatant about it.

  Makes sense now

  I can see why Judge Judy gets more respect than this bunch.

  Re:

  Judge Judy isn't responsible for the Citizens United decision. I'd say that puts her way up on the Supremes.

  Video problems

  I can't get the embedded video to play. Is there a copy on YouTube?

  Health Care

  I have to wonder if that was due in part to a lack of health coverage. Yes, the hospitals have to treat him, but if she's paying out of pocket the costs are ridiculous. If the wound didn't appear to be life threatening, I could see the temptation to avoid that.

  Why?

  Why give them time to rescind? That just gives them the opportunity to target people who don't have Mike Godwin on speed dial without leaving a wake.

  Did you mean Tom Hanks? Or is there another film maker I should know about?

  Re: Thanks Warners. I'm pissed!

  Except that the chances of getting an antitrust suit from the gov't this time around are nonexistent.

  A likely story

  ...explaining that the text was "an artistic representation of the author and text and not intended as a literal representation".
  
  They just didn't want to get sued by the Joyce estate.

• On the post: Copyright Claims Lead To Removal Of Popular Pebble Watch Faces

  

  ChurchHatesTucker ( profile ), 02 May, 2013 @ 02:36pm

  It never ceases to amaze

  Companies love to fight any free advertising these days. I have no idea what a TokyoFlash watch looks like. If I liked the face on my Pebble, I might have been persuaded to buy one for occasions when an actual watch seems more appropriate.

  Still broken

  Cute idea, but they still put out a broken version of their game. Those who don't realize it for what it is (which sounds like most of the folks playing it) are just going to think it sucks, and they'll tell their friends when asked. I can see why they only sold a handful.

  I can't speak to the merits of the show, having given it up after the first episode...

  It's an antenna tax. Which, admittedly, is like catnip for these guys.

  ChurchHatesTucker ( profile ), 24 Apr, 2013 @ 12:40pm

  The real question is

  How has Shopzilla not been sued by Toho?

  Feh

  Photography is a mechanical reproduction of nature. If I can't copyright what I shoot with a stat camera, why should you be able to copyright what you shoot with a Leica?
  
  Oh? It's because of your choices of framing and whatnot? Then you're cool with someone recropping your photos? Or photoshopping the hell out of them?
