Knowing that Disney gets many of their ideas from the public domain and other sources, I'd say that it's verboten to use the word "copy" in a Disney film. ; )
Well, considering this was released in conjunction with Stanford Law School, I'm betting they're very prepared to stand up to Disney should it come down to it.
Maybe you should watch the video. Something the summary didn't say (but really should have) is that the video's creators exercised their fair use rights to create a video that explains copyright and fair use. But that would be too much effort for an "editor" like Taco...
I've actually heard of kids in middle and high school who use SMS and IM so much that they legitimately don't know how to spell words like "you", "your/you're"
Hell, I've heard of "editors" of hugely popular technology websites that don't bother learning those things because it makes the site less "real"...
If those who own the medium of communication censor what we say, we do not have freedom of speech.
These guys are still perfectly welcome to say what they want, they just aren't necessarily being given the biggest soapbox to say it from. So no, it is not a free speech issue as you've framed it.
Putting a black bar over black type (which is what that article was about) is far different from retaining information that was "deleted" from the file. Moran.
The way to communicate better is to learn to communicate better. Take some technical writing and editing classes. They'll help immensely. The technical writing classes will help you learn how to communicate technical ideas in plain English that (nearly) everyone can understand. The editing classes will help you learn to cut sentences and explanations down to just the essentials. Trust me, they work. Plus you get to review some of the more esoteric aspects of grammar that your 17-year-old mind didn't want to attempt to grasp the last time you took any English/grammar classes.

And he's in Australia. As everyone knows, only convicts live in Australia...

Packetmon, do you have some sort of weird obsession with grannies or something?

Tux is not an ugly bastard, in fact he is quite the handsome devil!
Wrong mascot. You're thinking of Beastie...

AM, FM, Satellite, it's all the same.
And that's where you're wrong. The FCC (aka, the Gubmint) regulates AM and FM broadcasts. They do not, however, regulate satellite broadcasts.
Are you suggesting that one could just change the channel and get quality commentary as good as that on the Colbert Report?
No, the only other place you can get quality commentary as good as the Colbert Report is on the same channel, but a half hour earlier...
Ahh, I see they've decided to innovate some more to compete with Google...
Wow! Does Holly do that on demand? She could have a pretty lucrative film career...
My vote is for "Standardized Fast Ubernet." You can guess what else the acronym might stand for.
SFUN? Good call, cos the internet SFUN!
And at one time in the not too distant past 'google' was just a one with a lot of zeros after it...
That's never been the case. A googol was, though...

If people with unmodified boxes start getting banned by mistake, then that would be something to worry about.
Don't worry. They used Windows Genuine Advantage as the trial run for this...
What is this? Ask Lee Majors?
I'm interested in seeing how Apple solved this problem with the iPhone
It's amazing how much simpler everything is with only one button...
"They call them 'fingers' but I never see them fing. Woah, there they go."
So using an offset is going to help people who can't seem to hit the target in the first place?
The article forgot to mention that the president's mere presence causes plants to wilt and die within a football field's length of the president.
You're thinking of Cheney...

Burger King. I'm still trying to figure out how someone who can own two BKs has a problem getting a car...
Always try to turn your techno mumbo jumbo into a car analogy. People love car analogies.
