  Indeed, but the Walton version is the one they used in The Tomorrow People :P
  
  I thought that France was quoting someone even earlier, but gave up on trying to run that one to ground.

  What the hell happened?

  Suddenly I'm in a world where the commies are lecturing us about being too restrictive.

  You bastard!

  If it wasn't for copyright, Ojeda would have had no incentive to send that note. Nobody would have looked for them and they would all be dead by now.

  Re: It's the laws...all of them

  "I think anytime you enter into a contract it is your obligation to read it."
  
  In your ideal society, I'm sure that's true. But if the Chief Justice doesn't do it, then how the hell can I be expected to?
  
  I'm not even going to get into what constitutes a contract, because damn few lawyers seem to think it matters.
  
  This is why people keep eyeing lawyers and walls.

  Re: ISquare Enix Sends C&D To Developer Creating Open Armageddon!!!

  Oh, so it's just a legal threat. Nothing to see here.
  
  Where do you people come from?

• On the post: Twitter Hands @NFLLockout Handle Over To NFL Union, Despite No Trademark

  

  ChurchHatesTucker ( profile ), 21 Oct, 2010 @ 05:16pm

  "I can see why the NFLPA would want the username..."
  
  I'm not even clear on that. Are they not going to post lockout info to their normal Twitter feed?

  Re: it's not at all clear what constitutes "illegal porn" in Australia,. Not much about the law is clear to Mike !

  "So here in Australia, we are not capable of working out what is legal or not ?? "
  
  I dunno. Can you legally view the 2012 Olympics logo?

  Hah!

  I'd expect nothing less from Jason Scott. I can only imagine the chagrin of the rippers who screwed it up and were called out on it.
  
  Cheers all around, guys.

  Re: Confused?

  "I know now that's not true, and license stuff under a CC-BY-NC-SA license (which, I'm sure, will still draw some jeers)."
  
  Not jeers, but it is problematic. NC-SA is incompatable with SA.

  Re: Re: That may be the point

  A monument is a type of structure either explicitly created to commemorate a person or important event or which has become important to a social group as a part of their remembrance of past events.
  
  Ask a Druid.

  ChurchHatesTucker ( profile ), 20 Oct, 2010 @ 10:42am

  That may be the point

  "Of course, just about the only thing this will probably serve to do is make people a lot less interested in visiting Stonehenge, photographing Stonehenge and getting others to go to Stonehenge."
  
  Considering that visitors are the greatest threat to the monument, I have to wonder if that's their real intent.

• On the post: Broadway Actor Sues To Find Out Anonymous Tweeter Who Says He Has Crabs

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Curious...

  "I could see a judge ordering a medical test for crabs, as if Mr. Thomas does have them, his entire case kinda falls apart."
  
  Even if he doesn't:
  
  Your Honor, he doesn't have them *now,* so he has obviously had them taken care of. In the future I will say that Marty Thomas is a Broadway ho-bag who HAD crabs, if it please the court.
