Well disqus seems to be straining under the load. I had a response which got lost, I think. And it was, basically: ah, ok, that's a good choice.

Justice? Caring about infractions of people's rights? Some issues of justice, privacy of photos, are more important than other issues of justice like property, ie, the ability to make a living?

Sneezing is interesting, sure, but unfortunately I'm cursed with a thing for hiccups.

Do adult film stars care if their images are shared for free on the internet? The question probably sounds absurd, but why? To be clear, you suggest that they do not care, I think. I'm not arguing with you or trying to misconstrue what you said, and I agree with your point generally, I think… (ie, I think the theft…

Carell's movie persona, his 'type' of character, is not a desirable one: maybe it was with Dan in Real Life that he took full ownership of the —super sensitive, put-upon, despondent but nice and sometimes funny— male characters.

I have not read her work but this review has moved me in that direction. To be honest it sounds like writing and narrative form from many (many) decades ago. That's not meant as criticism, and of course it may not be accurate.
