  Re: Not your invented "domain censorship", but actual piracy.

  Similarly, some of you fanboys seem to think that my disagreeing with Mike about his notions means that I'm for censorship.
  
  That would assume that we believe you could reach a logical conclusion, which we don't. I happen to think your disagreement is general antagonism, and mostly about drawing replies rather than being tied to a position.
  
  If not, while being king of the tards certainly garners attention, there is still the part where everybody who follows you is retarded.

• On the post: It's Official: RIAA Trying To Join Righthaven Lawsuit

  Since when has the merit of a case had complete bearing on summary judgements? The two are not mutually exclusive. And in this instance I do not believe the party bringing the case matters, just the original and the fair use. Couldnt Hoehn just ask for a fair use summary judgement, i think he may have merit to ask, if it turns out to be needed?

  Re: This shows why patents shouldn't be transferrable, nor corporate.

  what exactly is the hard part and who is accomplishing it? because it is assuredly not you with your sentence fragment (nor I with mine).

  Not a SOPA supporter in the least, however:
  
  This post is a bit like being against our war activities and quoting the Westboro cult as a supporting viewpoint.

  If the recorded music industry has sunk by 58%
  
  Then the other 42% floats, and is therefore a witch!
  
  that aside, you should try leaving some links to data supporting these numbers in your comments....then again you are already listing all the 0 of them you will find.
  
  and your last paragraph's retardation is quite the spectacle.

• On the post: As Expected, RIAA Threatens Site That Claims To Let You Sell Used MP3s

  

  ky ( profile ), 17 Nov, 2011 @ 09:13am

  Re:

  There is really no way for this one to work out and be legal
  
  unless they of course use the RIAAs own words and royalty payments as a defense, and the court rules in that manner.
  
  sale of "used" MP3s is clearly filled with risks of piracy - from the user "keeping a copy" of the material, to people selling what they didn't have the rights for to begin with.
  
  oh no mp3s have the same limitation art and books have had since.....ever, even before they were magically digitized.

  ky ( profile ), 01 Nov, 2011 @ 10:48am

  on the positive side

  They now have a court opinion that there is reason for fault, and that the police are liable. Their next much larger lawsuit against the city should get them paid. Especially if it goes before the same judge.

  Re: image has no copyright when viewed

  wait, i cant read french, so may not have been on the same site. And they were third party marks like shutterstock, it doesnt look like canoe marks any of theirs. But they have credited/copyrighted the photo and the article in that space on many articles, still leaning me towards: that mark is standard and not intended for the picture.

  if you go to the story, and right click on the image, and select "view image". There is no copyright. On most every image that has a claimed copyright, that mark is part of the image.
