AMC Threatens Copyright Lawsuit Over Walking Dead Spoiler (torrentfreak.com)

AMC has threatened the people behind The Spoiling Dead community with a lawsuit, asking them to not reveal who gets killed in the last episode of The Walking Dead's ongoing series. The Spoiling Dead community, which has over 350,000 followers on Facebook, obtains all the latest information about the hit show -- some of which are not public, and discusses it within their community. "After two years, AMC finally reached out to us! But it wasn't a request not to post any info about the Lucille Victim or any type of friendly attempt at compromise, it was a cease and desist and a threat of a lawsuit by AMC Holdings, LLC's attorney, Dennis Wilson. They say we can't make any type of prediction about the Lucille Victim," Spoiling Dead team wrote. TorrentFreak reports: AMC's claim that any spoilers will amount to copyright infringement are somewhat eyebrow raising but according to the company this ground has been covered before. "The release of plot summaries and particularly the types of crucial plot elements that you have stated you intend to release, have been found to constitute copyright infringement. Specifically, in Twin Peaks Productions vs. Publications International, the Court ruled that publishing a work that 'recount[s] for its readers precisely the plot details' of a fictional work constitutes copyright infringement."

Never seen the film. Never likely to see the film.

But do know that even small increases in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere lead to increased energy (temperature) in the lower atmosphere, which means warming. In other words, human burning of fossil fuels have and will continue to drive significant changes in global climate.

The only work of fiction is believing that there's a magical heat sink that makes all the IR radiation CO2 molecules emit shoot back into space.
