Ideas are not covered by copyright -- patents do that. In the case of a work, like a photograph, the idea of a picture, even of the same item, area, etc. as revealed in the article, are not the same picture. No copyright infringement is involved here, the judge is very clearly wrong.
I was called to jury duty once, 1994.
During the questioning of prospective jurors, I was asked a question about whether I could follow the judge's instructions on how to apply the law to the the case.
I answered "There are two schools of thought on this, 1) that the jury must follow such instructions and 2) that the judge has no business instructing the jury on anything. I subscribe to the later."
This got me a very dirty look from the judge, followed by her furiously typing something in about my answer.
Needless to say, I was not picked as a juror that day.
And, 16 years later, I have never been called back for jury duty. That may just be the odds of being called, however, I think the judge's note (whatever it was) was probably along the lines of "Never, ever summon this person for jury duty ever again!!!!"

The alleged maladies are simply voted on. No scientific proofs or tests to determine of someone is schizophrenic as opposed to OCD, manic or whatever.
Unless the sub is surfaced, this broadcast will be of absolutely no use. And, surfacing a sub is not something that is done on a routine basis at all, as it rises the possibility that the sub will be detected and can then be tracked. It is sometimes necessary to surface a sub for communications, but for the most part it is extremely infrequent.
Communications in the LF, ELF or VLF would be more useful while the sub was submerged.
And that, is a bunch of bull.
I am a Libertarian and, in my experience, the Libertarian point of view is more along the lines of "It's my (and your) personal decision on whether or not to share".
*Enforced* sharing, under threat of duress, punishment, fines, jail sentences, etc. *is not* sharing. Taxes for things that pay for things or services that a particular individual never uses falls into the category of *enforced* sharing.
Get the government out of things it not constitutionally mandated to do, cut the size of government, put more money in people's pockets (as a result) and let them decide where and how they want that money spent.
The U.S. Federal government, in particular, is and has done a piss poor job spending your and my money. Oh, and our kid's and grand kid's money too.

You need to A) turn on a recorder and say that aloud and then B) listen to it after you do so.
You will probably be amazed at what you just said, namely, how completely clueless your statement is.
-- it doesn't help the kids at all, the drugs are not a solution.
There are many other non-drug related rememdies -- but -- they don't put money into drug company and drug company lobbyists pockets.

Which is countered by the former "God Squad" people now sporting a new logo "Freep Squad".

Uh, no. The U.S. Constitution does not protect us from "Dickhead Politicians", not even close.
The "Dickhead Politicians" swear a solemn oath to "support and defend" (Senators and Representatives) and to "preserve, protect and defend" (President) the Constitution.
The Constitution is just words written down, it does nothing.
What *does* protect us from "Dickhead Politicians" should be the other branches of government, which in the case of the Supreme Court sometimes occurs.
The only other protection we "the people" have is demanding that the "Dickhead Politicians" stop violating their oaths of office and that they stop creating laws that create problems or make existing problems even worse.
The economic disaster this country is experiencing was caused by these "Dickhead Politicians", either by laws that created or made existing problems worse OR through neglect (not doing a damn thing to correct existing problems at all). And now, these same "Dickhead Politicians" that created or exacerbated the problem(s) by direct action, or inaction, are telling the U.S. tax payer that WE (not them) have to pay more collectively in taxes to clean up THEIR mess. This is injustice on a massive scale and why more responsible representatives and senators are just going along with it, makes no sense at all.
There is no difference, the fact that Dems or Rebs win power in national elections, has proven to be worse for the U.S. as a whole, no matter which is in power. It has been this way for years now.

The purpose of the photo is irrelevant, has absolutely nothing to do with copyright law, the judge is clearly wrong, by any stretch.

Hillary made "I don't recall" a house hold phrase.
-- amazed? Microsoft says something about a product of theirs to try and generate hype and interest in it. This is news? OMG!
Non-evil? Are you kidding?
It's just part of a greater Microsoft strategy to get and keep the Microsoft brand in front of people. It's the same evil, different day.
-- they really need to use John Deere or Massey Ferguson tractor beams....
Why, our enemies, of course. ;)
Oh, yeah "Internet license" -- that sounds good, huh? OMFG
-- for the U.S. to immediately cease funding the United Nations. As in right f*cking now!

"Jackassery", I kind of like that word. By your leave, I will utilize it, where appropriate, as much as possible.

Copyright is not working for the people it is supposed to serve, namely, the public at large.

So, they are just like Democrats. I already knew this.

Wow! Careful what you do with that "blinding truth" thing, some people just won't see it.

Some people have way, Way, WAY too much time on their hands.
