The tough part is the line between amateur/professional.

Is a monetized YouTube channel still amateur?

Yep.

Theoretically, both should be paying licensing unless the license covers the cosplay and photography of the cosplay. 

It’s on the photographer too. They’re profiting off a copyrighted work as well. They might actually face more damages depending on how much they profit versus the cosplayer.

Use alone is not what is problematic, usually. It’s the outcome of it.

Yep. F-150s and full-size SUVs are in large demand all over the middle east and China.

I travel regularly. I did 150,000 miles in 2019. From January to lockdown, I clocked 15,000 miles internationally.

What’s odd is how many other movie cars that likely have similar protections seem to be built as replicas on a regular basis: Volkswagen Beetles turned into Herbies, for example, are common and also a Disney property.

Thunderbolt vs USB-C catches a ton of consumers unfortunately.

Remember when mini and micro cables used to ship without data pins for a while? The ridiculous “charge only” cables 😡. I’ve tried to purge those from my house and office, but every once in a while, one seems to sneak in and cost me minutes of unnecessary…

I just wrote an essay in response to your 790 question, sorry :)

Realistically, I think Ghost Rider’s antics are completely different than Cannonballing. A lot of motorcyclists have the equipment, and the skills to do 300+ and weave through traffic, at least in the short term. I could take my S1000RR out, hit 300+…

Mine’s a 790 Adventure, but I have a ton of seat time on the Duke. Before I answer that, why are you looking to supplement the GSXR1000?

If it’s comfort and “tourability” you’re looking for, I don’t think you’ll gain enough in those two areas from the Street Triple RS or the Duke to justify the 2nd bike. Both lack…

This is one of those rare sporting events, where I’m 100% ok with it being borderline lawless.

Keep the start and end point the same, require the vehicle travel under its own power, and whatever you want to do to make it happen, do it!

Notwithstanding, traffic isn’t down that much in most areas. 20-30% AADT drop from…

Realistically, that 911 call results in you getting pulled over and a warning, unless the responding trooper gets you with radar/lidar.

No court is going to accept a speed estimation from the general public. Even officers trained on estimation know that prosecution won’t proceed with their estimates in most cases.

I’d…

I work in the public opinion field, keeping track on things like this is part of my daily activities. It’s interesting to watch how outlets shift their criticism/praise/editorial as jointly and severally, the elected leadership changes and their staff and editorial changes.

Understanding echo chambers is key.…

Yeah. The average driver drives to the conditions. No congestion will lead to quicker speeds. It’s human nature.

The people defending this wreckless behavior because, “no one got hurt” are the same asshats who were conndeming the nurse who parked her RV at home without approval from the HOA.

The police risk still exists, possibly less, but it’s still there.

Unless we start mapping congestion and applying a correction to Cannonball times, there’s always going to be an incentive to plan for lessor traffic.

Teams are already reviewing the road construction schedules from each state/county and planning for the…

The odds of surviving and needing medical attention in a collision at 120mph+ with 3-point seatbelts, no helmets, and a dash full of projectiles is probably low as well.

There’s no federal law about speeding. That is the domain of the states. You could face a charge in each state though.

The day someone kills a person who isn’t a participant we will see the full weight of the law applied, with undoubtedly years in prison as a sentence.

From a legal perspective this isn’t much different…

This is NOT THE FUCKING TIME to be doing this period. Do you have any idea how badly I want to do mountain runs during this whole thing? Especially since when it is all over I won’t have a clear road for months.
