Challenging the legality of retroactive licensing would be an undue burden on smaller companies, you’re right.  At least the EFF is following the case.  They may be able to collect enough funds from the injured parties to mount a legal challenge, should that become necessary.

Unconfirmed according to snopes­

I’m still pretty confused by how the relicensing would even affect existing derivative works. They were all created with the existing version of the OGL, and in my very limited understanding of licensing, it’s a no-takesies-backsies sort of situation.

Yeah that tracks. At that time he lived by himself in a condo near the walk of fame. He would just go from bar to bar, open ‘till close, always hammered.

If you’re not a Canadian citizen, you could get pretty much the same thing in Oregon.

This was during Andy Dick’s ‘Hollywood town drunk’ phase — which may very well still be ongoing, honestly. We saw him get kicked out of 3 different places.

I met him briefly at the Rainbow on Sunset in... I wanna say... 2016? He was happy to take suggestive pictures with all my female friends. When they were done, I extended my hand to him and we had an exchange along the lines of:

“Thanks being such an outspoken and effective advocate for sex workers.”

You’d be surprised at how ordinary the places of slightly rich people look in Nordic countries. I’d wager on a nice condo near the restaurant, or a modest house on the outskirts with a large backyard so he can garden.

One of M. Bison’s lesser-known appearances.

Yeah he just created his own escape hatch. Now he can pass the blame for all his apocalyptically bad decisions to his successor(s).

It’s about the same as with filming: it’s already happened. Productions seek out places with government grants, tax credits, etc… The cheaper the better.

They should absolutely do it. They’re being treated as interchangeable cogs as their employers profit from ignoring labour laws.  This is the problem collective bargaining is intended to fix.

Really wish I could read that thread though.

Producers aren’t (all) writers.

True.

Roger that!

It honestly never occurred to me that Part Deux would have given people trouble.
