It's not evidence, it's a recording of evidence. The evidence is still physically there. The police have cameras too, I presume, to make their own recording. But the point may be they don't want any evidence of the evidence.
There are not that many trees because of the lumberjacks. They're an invasive species. Someone thought they could transport them from Canada, but with no natural predators in Florida, they got out of hand. Some conservationists thought the aligator wrestlers could control them, but they weren't enough. There's a proposal now to allow them to be hunted for their flannel and beards.
The Florida claim is a lot of blue castrated bull.
"People are getting wise to our shaking down the black population for fines and fees."
"Maybe we can create an incident and charge the media thousands for FOI requests."
"Better yet, let's insist on building an expensive and unwieldyy new system to handle the requests and return useless results. We can call it Deep Thought."
"I think that name was taken. But let's keep Deep in the name. It'll be called Deep something."
"And then we can claim we need to build a bigger more expensive system to interpret the nonsense data from that Deep bullcrap."
"Great! This'll keep us rolling in revenue forever! Casebolt, go pull a black girl's hair or something."
We have flying cars we can drive on the streets and park in the driveway and fly when we have clearance. We have jet packs and rocket packs and even water packs. We have hoverboards. We have flexible TV screens that can be drawn down like window shades. We already have a lot of the things people still ask why we don't have. But we don't have them for FREE. That's what everyone really wants, to be given all the futuristic stuff instead of having to pay for them. Almost anything predicted for the future is already here and available but you have to buy it.
Wet noodles are an extremely inefficient weapon. To keep them from flying apart, you need to drape them over your victim instead of using them as whips. Eventually your victim may die of erosion. It's better to use spoons.
"And he intends for my relatives and friends to not ask me for money and to make no claims upon my estate!"
This appears to be a threat to use biological weapons. Prepare to have officials visit you demanding to know where you are keeping your research livestock and what organisms you have designed for the fleas to distribute.
I want to sue my parents for warning me against touching a hot stove. Clearly they were allied with the stove with the intention of causing me harm, which was borne out when I touched the stove and it burned me. I believe they also conspired with the cat to have me scratched when I pulled its tail. I question whether the cat would have considered that action without my parents suggesting it.
That's how smart he is! He can implement technologies before they're invented!
He must be living backwards. 1500 years ago, his name will be Merlin.
I said it was easier to store, not easier to make. But if you're a serial killer, it might be something you'd still like to do.
Replying so I'll get comments in email. The email checkbox is too close to the Submit button.
"Are your copyrights and patents created by a human being?"
"No..."
"Do you know what happened when a photographer tried to claim copyright on a baboon's self-portrait?"
"It was declared that nonhumans can't... Aw, crap."
What the real feared fallout should be is that an artificially generated intellectual property would render as public domain an "infringing" use developed after it.
A serial killer would want "just the skin" of a 30yo. It's easier to store than the whole body of a 30yo.
No... If the inventors had wanted to keep royalties for longer, they should have had the contract amended to extend the royalty period.
This is my provisional take on the situation. The provision is whether there was a time period stated in the contract for the royalties. If the contract states a period that extends beyond the patent's expiration, then Marvel should be obligated to pay. If no period is stated, then payments can cease upon the expiration. It's each party's responsibility to know how patents work and put any desired amendments in the contract, and to comply with the amendments.
"I have sworn with my life's blood, none shall pass this way without MY permission!"
"Well... May we have your permission?"
"Well I, uh... I... that is, uh... hmm... Yes?"
It's that simple. Rights protection means you can allow use as well as prohibit it.
