However, I really didn't want to scroll through the thread because there is so much whitespace/emptyspace surrounding each post that I can only read one or two comments at a time, so it's just a constant scroll.
I'll test email notifications now.
I read A LOT. I read between 12 and 14 books during my week off at Christmas, and probably 7 or 8 since then. I buy or rent (Kindle Unlimited) all of my books. This inane and insane behavior from two large publishers makes my job easier; if I see their imprint on a book I'll just skip it. Hopefully more of my money will now go directly to the writers and illustrators.
Well done Penguin Random House and HarperCollins - you just lost a long time customer.
All together now, Shiva Ayyadurai did NOT invent e-mail. Say it with me, Shiva Ayyadurai did NOT invent e-mail. One more time for luck, Shiva Ayyadurai did NOT invent e-mail.
Also, that conspiracy theory chart is something I would have expected to find in a room where someone covered the windows (and their head) in tinfoil. I image the original chart used thumbtacks and yarn connecting his 'oppressors'. Wowzers.

Ahh, I'm not sure about that. Also - it was tabled five months ago.

New and updated regulatory requirements for broadcasting services
The Bill clarifies that the Act applies on the Internet. Clause 1 would add online undertakings as a distinct class of broadcasting undertaking subject to the Act. Online undertaking would be defined in the Act as an undertaking for the transmission or retransmission of programs over the Internet to the public by means of broadcasting receiving apparatus. Users of social media services who upload programs for sharing with other users, and are not affiliated with the service provider, would not be subject to broadcasting regulation in that respect. Similarly, clause 3 would specify that the Act does not apply in respect of programs uploaded by unaffiliated users to social media services for sharing with other users, and in respect of online undertakings whose only broadcasting consists of such programs.
Do you mean the last paragraph quoted in the summary above, or the paragraphs on pages 9 or 8 of the judgement? Cuz I don't see those as sarcastic but I might be missing something.
I disagree with you Karl that the pirate broadcasters "should just shift to streaming and avoid the legal hassle". I imagine some of the pirates are serving communities of listeners who cannot afford to have computers or cell phones, to say nothing of the data plans that allow them to stream stations that aren't included in corporate cap agreements. I also imagine some of the pirates want to serve their listeners by playing content that, while still under copyright and thus illegal to broadcast unless one is licensed by the FCC, is also not included in any of the playlists of terrestrial radio or streaming services. There is a lot of fantastic music that will never be heard again because it is locked up by greedy record companies and collectives such as ASCAP, BMI and SESAC - entities who would rather let music die if they are unable to extract a profit (almost none of which finds its way to the original creators).
We can also look at the recent events at Twitch, in which even incidental songs playing in the streamer's own house caused the RIAA to issue C&D letters, resulting in streams being deleted. So no, streaming isn't necessarily without legal risks.
This is to say nothing of the capricious rules governing web broadcasts of music, such as the Sound Recording Performance Complement. The box set clause, specifically, could make it nearly impossible to feature songs from an artist.
I'll drive the extra couple of miles to Ace or the big box store. Is this what 'winning' feels like Sherwin-Williams? Because it looks like you lost the Internets.
Hilarious
Almost made me choke on my breakfast. Nice comment, thank you.

@Jeroen Hellingman. This is a fantastic idea and would most certainly shake up a great many institutions. We just need to follow through.

Re: who is this 'we'?
Near as I can tell, a bunch of old white dudes gerrymandered districts to prevent the 'we' from having any meaningful say in elections.
One suggestion
Would be to require DAs (and other public agencies) to take the money out of their personnel budgets and bonuses, instead of general fund monies.

Also, you gotta wonder why Attorney General Jeff Landry is covering for Pat Magee's sexual harassment complaints. Does Landry have skeletons?
