The LoC's statement is that she has stipulated that they are PD. However, copyright law contains no mechanism for a creation to become PD other than by the passage of time.
In addition, copyright law contains no assertion that PD works become creatorless. This is the main inalienable right involved here: the right of the original creator to be factually identified as such. Since Getty is claiming *they* are the creator, they are making a false statement in commercial speech which is fraud.
Marisa Meyer will end up getting paid ~$200,000 per day after all the buyout clauses, while having increased increasing the value of the company by ~$20 million per day.
The DMCA specifically forbids them from reviewing DMCA claims. They are expected to operate form the presumption that any claims and counterclaims are valid
"The reason Content ID exists is because Youtube can't possibly manually review everything."
It's not YouTube's job to review *anything*. The DMCA obligates them to take down content when they get a claim, and to put the content back up when their is a counter claim. That's it. The Content ID system actually works outside of any legal requirement.
...assuming the client machines allowed random user to add random printers with unsigned drivers. Since Windows 7, the default is not to allow this so someone would have deliberately enable it.
"its not hard to change your number often" Unless there are people that you *do* want to receive calls from.
"we can also have devices that whitelist and let ring thru" But if everyone *else* is changing their numbers frequently, how do you know what numbers to whitelist?
"we have never had a per-call tarrif for local calls from landlines"
For small values of never. I'm old enough to remember the pages of tariffs in the front of the phone book, which could even vary from one central office to another.
In 1998, Ray Repp sued Andrew Lloyd Webber for plagiarism, based on the similarities between Phantom of the Opera and an earlier work by Repp. Instead, the court found similarities between Repp's work and an even earlier piece by Lloyd Webber.
There are only 12 semi-tones in Western scales. How can anything be original?
There is no company called just "T-Mobile". The post mentions "Bellevue-based T-Mobile". T-Mobile US, Inc. is based in Bellevue, WA. T-Mobile International AG is based in Bonn, Germany.
Therefore the post is referring to T-Mobile US, Inc.
There is a notion held by anti-capitalist "businessmen" that any money that someone else makes is money that they lost. They are incapable of understanding concepts like "complementary products" and just thrash around, tearing the market down with them.
Except they didn't actually fire him. He was suspended while the incident was being investigated, and the BBC declined to renew his contract which was already ending. They were no obligation to renew the contract.
The leaders in the Leave groups have gotten very bitchy when asked about when the UK will leave and how they will conduct the negotiation. You would think that if they were campaigning for a Leave result in the referendum they would be eager about getting to the leaving part.
a) The UK already had a special arrangement with the EU, where they got conditions that other members do not necessarily get.
b) In February, The UK got a new settlement with *additional* conditions that no other member had: http://www.consilium.europa.eu... (However, that settlement was contingent on a Remain vote).
c) There is no provision for the EU to force a member out, or to force the Article 50 timeline to begin. While Article 50 has a 2 year time limit it only begins when the leaving member notifies the EU and the EU has already stipulated that the UK referendum does not constitute notification for the purpose of starting the 2 year timeline for UK exit.
"all you need is to enter the EU via a country which has a visa waiver treaty"
All you need to enter *the Schengen Area*. The UK is already not in the Schengen area which is why you must present your passport when arriving in the UK from the Schengen Area or vice versa.
"is it theoretically possible to strike a deal that provides basically the same payment vs benefits as an EU member?"
If you are in the EU, then you get the same deal as everyone else in the EU. If you are not in the EU, then everyone in the EU gets a veto on any terms you propose.
In addition, the UK currently has no trade negotiation capability since they've been negotiating as part of the EU and in 2-ish year they need to go up against one of the largest trade blocks in the world which might also be holding a grudge against them. The EU has already ruled out giving the UK the deal that Norway has.

Not all rights are alienable.
Have you tried computing that ratio of compensation to value added for Marisa Mayer? Hist: it's somewhat better than 3.67
Marisa Meyer will end up getting paid ~$200,000 per day after all the buyout clauses, while having increased increasing the value of the company by ~$20 million per day.
That kind of ROI is a work of genius.
Route the VOIP over your internal network and connect to phone system in the destination country. Probably cheaper for your company to do that anyway/
We could start with blocking numbers that are not valid according the the appropriate numbering plan. E.g. a +1 number with a nonexistent area code.
Scientific theories are not in the same category as conspiracy theories or cockamamie theories.

Back in my day, our steam tables were in BTUs per pound! But no, we didn't like it.... because it was thermodynamics. Fuck that shit.

Man, did I hate the fucking game rooms. Always full of loud people NOT DOING ANY WORK. Then again, maybe it was safer that way.

The Irish passport gets them into the rest of the EU. Just offer them a free pint if they keep moving through the transit area of the airport.
"Voters rightfully want to control their country's own destiny"
And yet the country of Scotland is being forced out of the EU despite voting nearly 2 to 1 to remain.
Assuming you can get an AG to care about a sub $2k bill.
