Uh... “precedent” suggests that people haven’t used the DMCA in exactly this way many, many times before. I think you might want to research a little before assuming this is a brand new interpretation.

I’m mostly curious what you thought the value of this comment was. Are you genuinely afraid people were misinterpreting the post? Are you trying to entertain? Or just trolling?

And how does this justify the insane, incredibly regressive laws surrounding this issue?

Oops. Math is hard, we know.

Ooof. Would you care to revisit this total black hole of logic? It’s a free society... so Valve HAS TO host every piece of garbage someone tries to publish on their private platform? Try again, please.

If you think drinking is “an integral part of most social activities in US culture” you’re not doing US culture right. Just because alcohol is available, that doesn’t obligate you to partake. I’ve never cared for alcohol, and I’ve never had any problem engaging with US social culture.

There’s nothing innately interesting about these stories, though. Talking about growing and changing is a LOT more interesting than discussing the doorknobs who still get something out of the Gin Blossoms in their thirties and forties.

They’re pretty generic.

Why?

It’s an opinion piece, not an “article” - so, yeah, your opinion may differ. That’s how opinions work.

That’s rich coming from the author of the incredibly incisive “From you? Not likely.” Take your anti-vax bullshit elsewhere, douchenozzle.

Dismissed. Be less boring, ass-gobbler.

Wow, the dumbfucks are out in force tonight. Eat shit, fuckwit.

Eat shit and die, fuckwit. Unvaccinated people routinely spread the disease to infants and the immuno-suppressed.

Yeah, the monomyth is upsetting that way.

Hey, dumbshit: “innocent until proven guilty” is a legal doctrine and NOTHING ELSE. It is not a way that any rational person lives their day-to-day life. If you think we SHOULD live our lives that way, then you should specifically go out, find a person who has been accused of child molestation but never convicted, and…

Please post the exact comment where she said “you can’t go to that church.” Good luck, because she said absolutely nothing of the sort. She said promoting that church as a welcoming place is hypocritical. That has no bearing on whether or not you’re “allowed” to go there - you’re just a d-bag if you do. Plenty of…

So criticizing a church is now exactly the same as telling someone “You can’t go to that church?” That’s a tad bit melodramatic, don’t you think? Anyone can do anything they want - you just don’t get to do it in the public eye free from all criticism.

I wouldn’t say “getting old” so much as “only care about one narrow genre of music.” If you follow hip-hop and R&B at all, you’ve at least heard of all the artists in the corresponding categories.

The problem is not that you sound “bitter and hateful” but that you sound like you’ve never listened to popular music in your life before. Your viewpoint is not unique or revelatory. Prince ripped off other people’s sound, too, and those people ripped off the people who came before them. That’s literally the entire…
