That was actually my question to. The American rule is generally that each party carries own costs unless a statute or contract specifically provides otherwise. No contract here so not sure what statute they could be claiming under unless the claims were deemed frivolous under anti-SLAPP provisions which I highly…

They were probably thinking why should we be harrassed by people we didn’t harm after they have been told there is no grounds for liability, and so why should we have to pay for the honor or doing so? Also they didn’t submit a fee bill their attorneys did because they have to. Whether they would try to collect on it…

Yeah but that dude didn't get to see one perfomer at a concert of other performers. His struggle is real.

Is anyone shocked when the cops declared open war on the citizenry? Isn't that why there is a second amendment after all?

As someone else said in this chain, an artist’s rider is their rider, whether for a 5 minute appearance or a whole tour. It’s up to the promoter or the venue to cross off those items before signing that seem Ludicris.

No problem. I paid a boatload for a JD. Nice when it pays off every now and again.

It’s like Doctor-patient or penitent-priest immunity. The belief is that to promote the sanctity of marriage and open communication between spouses, in certain states and on certain topics a spouse cannot be compelled to testify about private discussions. Basically protects pillow talk

Then how the fuck would the dancers at Casa Diablo make any money? Why do you hate freedom of expression?

As @ihatepickingnames says in part 2 below, she can work with any producer she wants, who would get his producers cut. Kesha would get her perfumer cut. But Dr Luke would still own the label rights to exclusively release it. No it's not the most onerous term in the world, but not what you are looking for when someone…

Guess you've never been confronted with a tinder date who uses creatively cropped photos.

Actually not quite true. The Fairness Doctrine required over the air broadcasters (the old networks) to give equal time to candidates against the will of the networks. And was fully first amendment compliant

Maybe because correlation is not causation. Autism onset occurs at the same age as vaccines are administered. At the same age babies/toddlers are often exposed to milk, diapers, and toys. Why not blame the vast milk conspiracy since almost every child was drinking milk literally within minutes of the first onset of…

Did you know that shitting your pants is a highly effective way to eliminate toxins from your body? #FACT

Where was the Faygo?

Does it work in dudes stomachs too, or only in chicks?

Obviously it is easier to have quick check ins these days but I can't imagine having called my parents more than once a month when I was in college. Let you kid be a kid. They need time to hang with their friends, smile weed, etc. in other words let them be a college kid.

Of course it is not actually protected by copyright and there is no such 20% rule.

Fuck this. How the fuck is it promoting rape culture or inviting harassment. It doesn’t say “rip this off me” it says “ask me”. If people can’t even ask others to take their clothes off in a consensual manner anymore, then is life worth living? Drop a nuke on Xmas and let’s all give in to N. Korea

Even if they were sued individually, the state/school board pays, under respondeat superior, if they were acting in the scope of their employment, as they all were. Just like a bar does not want a bouncer to beat a patron is nonetheless liable when one loses his cool even if they argue it was not party of his job to…

I hope he doesn’t. He should be justly compensated. Also you know this money doesn’t come from the dipshit mayor and some assbag police chief, but instead comes out of the school budget and taxpayers’ pockets. I don't think the taxpayers should pay this ransom even if, it being Texas and all, they are likely racists…
