A while back someone figured out how to spoof aol email and send stuff not just to your peeps, but to everyone cc'd on emails sent to you, like people 3 circles of friends away in joke forwardings.
This seemed to clear up a few months ago. Easy to mock AOL (or Wndows for that matter) but I wouldn't wanna be the engineers in charge of fighting off motivated engineers from shitholes around the world.
"the '50 cent party' — a commenter paid half a dollar every time he derails an online debate in China. 'Essentially, these people are paid internet trolls; their job is to stop any meaningful discussion online about the government."
Discern your political leaning:
1. Oh my god, how corrupt! 2. Eh, companies astroturf, why not governments? 3. 50 cents? That's not a living wage!
One of the linked stories asks if anyone knows where they fan learn about Chinese labor disputes.
You can't have labor disputes until there is enough wealth in society for labor to start getting jealous, and you can't have enough wealth to spread around until the unparalleled might of capitalism builds it.
But ya, it's all about the working man, and not about the working man owing the capitalists more than he could possibly replay. They tried it he communist way, and only after a few years of economic freedom is there now enough wealth being generated that there's even something worth "disputing".
"You didn't build that business." Whatevs, jackasses. See the difference between a people-oriented, infrastructure-providing government that could barely feed its people for 50 years and a free one that's generated so much wealth that in only a few years now has wealth to dispute.
Or "The People", for that matter. Using the exact same argument you did, but for some reason because it's a mass of people doing the arrogation, some feel it seems OK.
I'm surprised the UK government hasn't stolen it from him, er, uhh, Reclaimed a National Treasuer That Is The Birthright Of Every British British Citizen See What I "Acquired' For You Using Not Money But A Meme As Payment Vote For Me!
I'm not in favor of jail time, but I wouldn't mind a Constiutional amendment allowing particularly egregious cases to be placed on the next national election ballot: "Shall soandso, who made fun of dying cancer child soandso2, be beaten by an orangutan?"
If they're like Iraq was, they're probably printing billions in quality counterfeit western currency as part of the underground cold war with the west.

"Well, we can't say if it's illegal until we review the results later."
This is the exact same kind of thing they do in corrupt nations where the government has all kinds of laws you can't help but violate if you want to survive, which then get held over your head for "donations", or if you get too uppity.
Congress can't conjur into existence magic to put Humpty together again, but they can beat the hell out of anybody with the temerity to try.

By the way, they can't just redefine property and take it without fair compensation, as required by the Constitution. So even the crashed meteorites are off limits without compensation.
If you value a government that is forced to follow the rules The People told it to.
Wierd Al has to pay when satirizing songs. This does not override.
If it was 30s (and the song was signicantly longer than 30s) then they could probably get away with it like radio stations and some pathetic 100 greatest songs shows do.
Merely rerecording broadcast audio as part of a video, degraded audio, doesn't cut it.
No censorship. However I'm fine with truth in advertising. Let's start by jailing people who claim there is a sky daddy who will hurt you unless you obey and give money to His mortal agents on Earth.

"You don't have our permission to talk to people and teach, AKA inform them", which is the vital, core aspect of freedom of speech.
I am in favor of an amendment that allows guillotining of government officials when they lose first amendment issues.
j/k
kinda not sorry not sorry

The solution to using government to silence your opposition? Using government to silence your opposition!
But it's OK because my side, with its attendant historical righteousness for the ages, is in control of it.

And whoever had it stolen won't wonder and look into it.
That's a pretty amateurish thief. And anyone who liberated it from a national museum would sell to a private collector.

I still haven't given up on the scientific theory that "and YHWH set the lesser light in the sky to govern the night".
That was just before He gave men nipples and women a shriveled weenie and unsealed ball sac.
Probably wouldn't have more than a negligible effect -- after all, you don't lighten noticibly when the moon passes overhead.
The moon can barely manage a tiny slosh when tugging on an entire ocean.

So good riddance. Sucks to have karma catch up.

Well, it works for governmemt, why shouldn't business adopt that business model?

History is full of hundreds of thousands of times more (probably a gross underestimate) of politicians interfering and making life worse.
"You must get government permission before doing things" leads to more deaths than anything this side of a major asteroid strike.
Downside? Small compared to overbearing government, thanks for asking.
OP likes history? Go fucking learn some!
Normally SSDs die when an X-Wing or something crashes into the conning tower and it rams into a Death Star.
Since you can just download the real drivers, it's a joke. Fire the assholes in government. Fire them. Fire them Fire them.
Also close the collider at CERN, while you're at it, you wasteful, wasteful energy wasters, you.

Wait. Nevermind.
In the words of the aliens from Contact, "It's the way we've been doing it for billions of years."
Hence they will have long since closed off detection of clever loopholes in previous myriad simulations.
