  1. Re:DRM Does Work on DRM In JPEGs? (eff.org) · · Score: 2

    If DRM works why is it that customers generally have a worse experience with products than others that didn't pay?

  2. Re:Democrats, not the "Electoral System" on Electoral System That Lessig Hopes To Reform Is Keeping Him Out of the Debate (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    The sad part is that in order to have sane, reasonable discussions on the other topics things like money need to be taken out of the equation at the government level. Not just campaign reform, but lobbying as well

  3. Re:PT Barnum on Scandal Erupts In Unregulated Online World of Fantasy Sports · · Score: 1

    Unless they rake the pot. If they do it becomes my tip.

  4. Re:A more important question is... on A Broke Fan Owes $5,400 For Pokemon-Themed Party Posters · · Score: 3

    If you think that is bad take a look at bronies.

    IANAL but sounds like one could argue someone signing up as ones self would be identity theft.

  7. Re:I still haven't... on 'RipSec' Goes To Hollywood: How the iCloud Celeb Hack Happened · · Score: 1

    I always have some breakfast ready for the occasion.

  8. Re:5-year old video on Anti-Piracy Firm Sends Out Wave of Takedown Notices For Using the Word 'Pixels' · · Score: 2

    Or you could go back another 8 years to a Futurama episode titled Anthology of Interest II and specifically the segment titled Raiders of the Lost Arcade

  9. Re:DMCA reform on Anti-Piracy Firm Sends Out Wave of Takedown Notices For Using the Word 'Pixels' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    One of the videos taken down was their own trailer for the film, so the process has already started.

  10. Someone has to make and start the automatic system.

  11. Re:Seems simple enough to reverse this strategy on Anti-Piracy Firm Sends Out Wave of Takedown Notices For Using the Word 'Pixels' · · Score: 1

    So make it about the river instead.

  12. Re:The cast was almost right on Dungeons & Dragons Is Getting a Film Franchise · · Score: 1

    But Marlon Wayans, what the fuck were they thinking, Dungeons and Trap Houses?

    Dragon Movie. Doubt it would have been worse than the final product, but with a cheaper budget.

  13. If Google wasn't the only search engine we could still find important things like this when we need to know something.

  14. Re:Another Name / Company dispute on YouTube Algorithm Can Decide Your Channel URL Now Belongs To Someone Else · · Score: 1

    IANAL, but that looks like some pretty damn good precedent there

  15. Re:Not sure I fault Apple on this one on Taylor Swift: Apple's Disdain For Royalties Is 'Shocking, Disappointing' · · Score: 1

    The problem with cutting out the RIAA to give money to the "owners" of the music is that the RIAA owns the music through the deals made to sign the artists.

  18. Re:Let's just solve it the old fashioned way. on Can You Commit Copyright Infringement By Using Your Own Work? · · Score: 1

    1 USD to the winner of the bet?

  19. Re:Except it is a commentary... on Can You Commit Copyright Infringement By Using Your Own Work? · · Score: 1

    It sounds more like turd sandwich vs douche based on both the participants.

    I kind of want the "art" stealer to win only to strengthen the first win which could technically make adding text commentary to movies legal when repackaged with a different format. The MAFIAA would sure love that ;)

  20. Re:Disbar. on Prenda's Old Copyright Trolls Are Suing People Again · · Score: 1

    Except there's the whole criminal contempt factor as well which carries a maximum term of life
