hell, copyright even applies to the posts you make on here. If I were to quote your post, I would “technically” be violating your copyright. You have to realize the copyright system is broken when you consider that everyone who uses the internet is violating someone else’s copyright every time they copy and paste.

Yes, I was making fun of that childish idealism which flies in the face of reality. Good catch. Gold star for reading comprehension.

Because the big labels can make or break the rules of the game as they see fit, while indies either scamper out of the way when the lawyers come out or get crushed like bugs. Copyright law doesn’t “protect” anyone except the major labels and their armies of lawyers.

That’s not copyright, it’s trademark law. And lots of bands have had to change their names because they were owned by another artist.

The tiniest indie label has the same rights and ownership as the big labels & publishers

I think one of the important takeaways from this is not just how hard it is to handle weapons: by the time any of those students are actually able to draw and shoot (even in the best of circumstances), people are still being shot by the intruders.

Good to hear from middle class America. Now, get of your asses and do something about it.

This is nothing new. Occupy Wall Street caught them totally off guard. They've been committed ever since to make sure no such movement is ever allowed to be created.

I’ll admit that woman made a pretty stupid statement, and the state of the American educational system is fucked, but goddamn, I’m tickled pink to read a comment from a German who, without a trace of irony or self-awareness, states that he wants someone arrested for saying what she thinks. Great shit, man. Thanks for…

You ain't gonna hold the video landscape, then I'm smacking your kid.

Not a doctor

That's the thing, though.. He's not. He lost his license.

Dr. Phil has become as bad as Oprah with the shameless ambulance chasing. No dignity.

Fuck you, Doctor Phil. Riveting TV or not, this is the cellar of the bottom of the bottom for you to air something like this.

Oh dear goodness. Not that I don't judge the guy, but Dr. Phil needs to stop; this is obvious exploitation. He's high; that's your cue to stop the camera unless you want to cultivate drama. If you're an actual doctor that intends to do no harm.

A better person would have seen how bad of a situation this was and stopped fucking filming. But, you know, ratings.

"Dr" Phil is an asshole for filming and airing this. He could have helped him privately.

That Dr. Phil. Always trying to help people while the camera happens to be rolling.

I am a lifelong vegetarian and an animal rights advocate, and I'm telling you that comparing a human rape victim to an animal is deeply offensive. I do not think that humans are intrinsically worth more than animals. But I do believe in kindness, and directly comparing humans to animals is kind to neither. Your line…
