"Two men were released after The Times asked about them, half a year after their sentences had been completed."

Horrific. This egregious human rights violation is something you'd think you read about in a developing nation, not a developed nation.

If that was the case, then cooking recipes would be all copyrighted, and you would have to pay a licensing fee every time you made spaghetti. The complexity of copyright is even referenced in the Wikipedia supreme court ruling I linked too. Yet you ask for an honest discussion? What was not forthright in my reply?

Copyright infrigement is not stealing[0]. The person still has what they made. Not sure why they propigate it as theft. Seems like a pro copyright propaganda extremisit article which goes significantly against progress of advancements for arts and sciences.

That was one hell of a photogenic monkey

This poses an interesting legal question. Since the judge ruled once the plane was in international airspace, would the US have jurisdiction? Or would say mercantile laws or airspace laws apply making it a weird legal hack to deport these "gang members"?

Not sure it was ever youtubes desire to shut it down. Why would they, as there are a multitude of reasons why someone would want a video off a platform. It was the RIAA's, since there the ones who sent the takedown.

Great example of "well think about it" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s_4J4uor3JE&pp=ygUhc2tpdCBraWx...

"The phonorecords in question were not "stolen, converted or taken by fraud" for purposes of [section] 2314. The section's language clearly contemplates a physical identity between the items unlawfully obtained and those eventually transported, and hence some prior physical taking of the subject goods. Since the statutorily defined property rights of a copyright holder have a character distinct from the possessory interest of the owner of simple "goods, wares, [or] merchandise," interference with copyright does not easily equate with theft, conversion, or fraud. The infringer of a copyright does not assume physical control over the copyright nor wholly deprive its owner of its use. Infringement implicates a more complex set of property interests than does run-of-the-mill theft, conversion, or fraud."

Dale!

Reading this makes me wonder, should a man who plead guilty be executed?

Don't keep all your eggs in one basket, unless you control that basket

Its funny because courts are split on the making available theory since it was pushed during the napster/grokster days. So I do think this is a decent approach of attack since they are saying there can be no proof they made anything available and I'm not so sure meta wants to settle this at all.

If you're so against free SSl's with an option for shorter half life you could use a paid alternative? Not sure I understand your grip with a free service

Did they ever trust it?

I'd almost say there is more of an incentive to be able to predict a hurrican or tornado

My thermometer for prediction models is the day they can predict the weather so there is never any unknown about the forcast. Is when I'll begin to believe its hot out when they tell me.

Even then it had a utility as jewlery. Bitcoin fails on that.

Gold has a utility, used in a large swath of electronics. Can always be sold to make something. Bitcoin can only be sold if there is a fiat currency trading in it

Law enforcement in the US has a license to kill with paid leave after. The fear that instills in an entire populace is chilling.

Seems Nintendo didn't have a trademark for supermarket use

Trying to convince us or you?

I suppose that may be in fact why you don't have the money

Their argument failed when they had to refer to ad hominem

Its not a game; It's a fact. The definition of hormonal is related to menstruation. I also didn't say I asked if she was, just something I consider when responding to her actions or words.

Having lived in Vietnam, learnt Vietnamese, and spoken to quite a few Vietnamese elders. My impression is that they have far fewer gripes with the Americans than they do with the Chinese. Since one seemed to have caused an issue for a short while, while the others had caused issues for much longer.

How so? Taking accountability for my actions in a relationship and standing up for myself is misogyny?

Take a menu in a tourist spot, could have it go to both languages

I don't mean I failed to make her happy. I mean I failed in asserting myself or sacrificing my happiness for her. As her happiness generally feeds of mine.
