    Our body is a vat of chemicals. Realize what the word "chemical" actually means and then you'll find out that pretty much everything you encounter in your daily life is one.

    No, but their calculation still follows the rule that the price is set at the point of the most profit, not "cost + a little bit".

    You're welcome, but since I also don't ogle every man's junk that I come across I still can't empathize.

    Starts with the question why they pose for those tapes in the first place.

    But you might know that there are laws against this and it's fairly easy to get them enforced, so what exactly seems to be the problem?

    There are things that should not be seen for what has been seen cannot be unseen.

    I think the core theme will less be whether archive tried to circumvent a block but rather whether Verizon would admit that they tried to block them (which they would have to if they want to claim a circumvention). Because between 3T and CL it's easy for CL to "admit" the blocking. 3T tried to steal their revenue, there's no bad press to be expected from this.

    Blocking an archivist trying to preserve content from being lost is not as easily sold.

    The key question here is whether tumblr wants to admit that they deliberately tried to block archive.org. The case between CL and 3T was clean cut, 3T tried to cut into the market of CL. archive.org doesn't, simply by virtue of tumblr explicitly stating that they want to withdraw from exactly this market.

    They should maybe ignore the headlines and simply follow the money. Because one question looms over them right now: What is tumbl still useful for now?

    Your family pics? There's better organized pages available for that, where you can pretty much create virtual photo albums and share them with exactly who you want to share them with.
    Your average "Gee, look at this shit" pics? Snapchat.

    Seriously, what is tumblr good for now?

    And that's pretty much the problem, who do you think is behind those bans? And have you noticed that the only places that get hit by bans like that are the places where you get porn for free?
