...if I produce a work my *employer* can claim copyright on *my* creation.
Only if it's a "work for hire", in which case you'll likely have a work brief and a stipulation in that (which makes it a contract) which specifies transfer of copyright ownership.
A theoretical example would be a Madison Avenue work. Say I created a character (let's call it "Santa Claus") for a soft drinks companys' ongoing advertising campaign. Who owns the rights to that character? Me? No, because I created it for that advertising campaign and got paid for it. The rights belong to the company that commissioned the work. Let's call them the Coca Cola Company.
Now, if I'd created Santa Claus just because, and Coca Cola bought the right to use it in their advertising, I could name the terms: they could use it and I would retain the rights (because I can) or I can transfer the rights because it's just a stupid cartoon character, not worth anything right?
sociopath is a term deprecated back in 1968 (when it was coined as part of the Bell defence which FAILED because it was BULLSHIT), no legitimate psychologist or psychiatrist uses the term.
"...people should remember that it was possible for anyone to create an account using the name and e-mail address of other individuals."
People should also remember it is very difficult to randomly generate a VALID credit card number.
Sites like this use credit card numbers to "confirm" the age of the individual signing up (I know, I know, having access to Daddies' CC isn't proof of age, etc.).
why? Most games are still 32-bit. I can count the number of 64-bit PC titles I'm aware of on one hand and still have three fingers and a thumb left.
32-bit games will use a MAXIMUM of 4GB. If you're on a 64-bit system with 8GB RAM, great for you, your game will use all the memory it needs up to the 32-bit hard limit - 4GB. If you're on a 32-bit system, it won't address more than 4GB RAM anyway, so the maximum amount of memory available for your game will be 4GB-overhead (usually around 1.5GB for the system)
Unless you're running some huge 64-bit database or render, you shouldn't need more than 8GB. And if your browser is eating a Gig just to display a page, you've got bigger problems than how many slots are occupied.
not just that. The first thing they check now is the Department for Work and Pensions. This is how it is now: if the Government claims you owe them money, like say for a £53 welfare overpayment, then they can prevent you from leaving the country simply by bouncing your passport.
I bullshit you not. This is now SOP. DWP, then warrants.

It's not only widely known, names are starting to emerge.
Search: Emil Maurice, Adolf Eichmann, Sobibor Scharfuhrer Erich Fuchs... three of many hundreds now known to be Jews serving in the Wermacht and the SS.
It is also a long standing legal position that enemy combatants are not subject to Constitutional protection. Terrorists are by virtue of the term "war on terror", enemy combatants. You also do not have to afford an enemy combatant any sort of legal process, least of all trial by jury. The only thing the Geneva Convention prohibits you from doing is torturing or murdering the prisoner. Beyond that, the only thing you have to do for an EC is prevent him from starving to death.
All a Fed has to do is say the word "terrorist" and he can lock you in an eight by ten with a table and two chairs and keep you in there until you grow old and die.
"Fuck the Constitution and fuck the very idea of justice".
Because withholding "evidence" in the name of national security has NEVER held up in any court of Law. Injustice to one is injustice to all. Will you wait until it happens to you before you say something? Because when it does happen to you, it's gonna be too late to complain. The time is NOW.
1. separation of constituent gases using a column is well known process in the petrochemical industry. 2. Plants consume oxygen as well, the point at which plants produce more oxygen than they consume is the point at which they thrive because they're finding the ideal environment with the right balance of solar energy, CO2, water and oxygen. You could drop a plant in a pure CO2 environment but guess what? It'll suffocate just like a cat would. 3. CO2 isn't toxic. Plants prove that. Nobody ever suffocated due to CO2 concentration, they suffocated due to lack of oxygen.
his ability to fly, to stop a bullet and bending eyebeams with his pinkie are all - the simplest way to put it is copyrighted - by Warner Brothers Entertainment. Basically whatever didn't appear in Action Comics #1 is owned by them, the rest by them and Siegel & Shuster. The game changes in 2033 when Supes finally does enter the Public Domain short a Constitutional amendment..
hmmm... or Grimm, or Anderson... better have a word with Disney, "Frozen" is worthless. Ignore the fact that it's made them US$1.3BILLION in box office worldwide and sold over 7 MILLION copies on DVD and Blu-Ray in the first week of release in the US. (source: NIS) Yep, public domain works are worthless.
Superman (from Action Comics #1, his first appearance) is still under copyright. He will remain under copyright (owned fully by Siegel and Shuster while the trademarks are owned by Warner Brothers Entertainment) until 2033. There is nothing short a Constitutional amendment, that will further extend the copyright.
HOWEVER, the story of the Fleischer Superman cartoons is complicated by the fact that before the 1976 Copyright Act came into force, NTA (who then owned the copyrights to most of the Fleischer library) had actually let the copyright on those 17 works slide, and they had simply forgot to retroactively renew the copyright as they had the right to do as they would have been within the time limit to do so until 1983. Ergo, the Fleischer Superman cartoons entered the Public Domain by virtue of natural copyright expiration.
I used to run a DVD library of over two thousand feature titles including the Superman cartoons. I not only printed the discs myself, I designed the inlays as well. Made a freakin' fortune. Wasn't half tedious though...
when it was discovered that one could make a fuckload of money from presenting pseudoscience and revisionism as Truth and indoctrinating the next generation of fresh young minds to the dogma of corporate rote and the prospect of production line drudge their entire working lives.

How many of those are there now, and do we count the George Lazenby one?
Wait. Strike that. I've gotten trapped in a Franchise Drift.

go via TPB and search "Ashley Madison", it's the 9.69GB one. The 5.somethingGB one (marked "Repack") is fake.

That's only five times the cost of a twenty eight mile tram line in my neighbourhood.
Lemme do the math...
5 x 28 = 140.
Six billion gets you one two millionth the way there in today's money.
Something doesn't add up. How the fuck are they doing this with six billion?
