  • On the post: Appeals Court Says Michigan County’s Vehicle Forfeiture Program Is Unconstitutional

    Its not a real law until they seize the prosecutors car for lying about how this would target the big kingpins and instead just shoved the poor down even further.

  • On the post: Bill Willingham Says Fables Is Released To The Public Domain, DC Comics Says It Most Certainly Is Not

    That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 18 Sep, 2023 @ 05:29pm

    If some of the things I have seen Mr. Willingham has said about how they tried to pretend that DC could cut deals with TellTaleGames and cut him out of any control/profits over the IP he created when they made a new deal with the game maker. It sounds like the artist got tired of being jerked around & now has EVERYONES attention bringing them to the table. This is going to be a very messy fight & I look forward to the same people who scream think of the artists backing the corporation trying to screw the artist. Ownership of rights, contracts, ignoring contracts, finding new ways to make profits & keep them from the creator... this is gonna be really messy... and hey since the length of copyright is like 3 human lifetimes there can be a very very long protracted fight exposing how the system has been perverted for corporations while making sure the artists stay starving even if they created the hottest property in the universe. Who knows, maybe just maybe, when this is all done maybe Star Wars will finally recoup.

    Something something because there are such strong penalties in place when someone misuses a copyright or copyfraud claiming ownership where there is none.

  • On the post: New Study: People Have A Negative View Of Advertisers Who Still Advertise On Platforms That Allow Hate Speech

    That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 15 Sep, 2023 @ 07:45pm

    You mean mothers don't want to buy diapers from companies who pay to advertise on platforms that put them next to racists, nazis, MRA's!?!? This is one of those studies we didn't actually need, but at the same time it needed to be done... if only to give the offended something to complain about targeting them. Because they know, for sure, that moms want to buy diapers from brands that advertise next to their genius takes abotu how we shoudl repeal the 19th amendment, force women to stay with abusive men, and be nothing more than incubators popping our progeny so that those inbred lines can flourish.

    From the mental giants who believe... Being GLBTQI+ is a choice - because we enjoy you assholes harassing us for existing so we picked this Reading a GLBTQI+ book will make your kids teh gay - I dunno you assholes claimed you read the bible and Jesus would smite a bunch of y'all Addiction is just a lack of willpower & not loving god - and nothing to do with judgemental assholes who make seeking help dehumanizing, demeaning, and ineffective It is not my baby's fault, you made them do it - bitch if we had the power to make people do things we'd have used it to make you less of a bitch The site gives you what you asked it to, it then offers up things similar to what you sought out... so its not giving you videos to make you an extremist you are selecting those videos. Its job isn't to stop you from doing stupid shit, despite everyone wanting it to (because its impossible to do).

    Crazy idea....maybe don't connect your phone to the car? Oh but you will miss out on all of these things... and? I had cassette when everyone else had cd, i survived. I still had cassette when everyone else was hooking up their ipod, i survived. I wonder if we can get those great minds who created the little annoy-o-bots (you hide it, it randomly chirps & makes noises driving people crazy) and tv-be-gone to build a fake phone to flood the datastream with crap. The government isn't gonna save us, companies will keep trying to get more out of us, so lets inject some agent orange into their forest of data collection. Once you introduce the idea that consumers can and will fight back by feeding an endless stream of crap, what is that going to do to the value of the data? Especially since the poison can be made to look like delicious real data, don't have to feed easy to spot wildly crazy data they could try to filter. How much more entertaining can it be than seeing something open sourced that protects your data & can give you access to the features safely? Heh a bluetooth condom, don't drive without one! The price of the cars never reflect how much they project they are going to make over the life of the car by selling our data, so lets remind them their business is building cars not creating a revenue stream based on spying on consumers. No one else is gonna save us from this, so its time to poison the feed to see if we can kill the damn thing.

  • On the post: Marsha Blackburn Makes It Clear: KOSA Is Designed To Silence Trans People

    That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 06 Sep, 2023 @ 08:36pm

    Sometimes the shtick actually contains the truth... Humans do the same things over & over pretending it never happened before. Irish Italians Polish Jews Chinese (but this ones getting a round 2) Africans The list it goes on and on and on... These loving god fearing people turn their ire towards their fellow humans claiming they are the problem. Still 200+ priest/pastor/church leaders have molested children since nov 1 2022 but we aren't passing laws about that. Instead they pretend all trans people are dangerous because they are different and different is bad. As the resident immortal, I guess I'm the only one who recalls a time when christians were those who were different & were attacked without reason... but now that reason is crystal clear. Love One Another... EXCEPT... I don't hate them for their religion, I don't hate them because they are conservatives, I hate them because they are exploiting both to remake the world in their twisted image where they matter more than anyone else & you must fit into what they demand or be murdered. All men are created equal... EXCEPT...
