if you scam people into believing you can talk to the dead, even for free, thus lying to people in the depths of their grief, you are still going to hell.

if you scam people out of money pretending to talk to the dead you deserve to be dragged to hell and back. If there is a hell, it is filled with scam artists like you.

Sorry, who’s sanctimonious?!

Yeah, true story. How will gawker handle this. I feel like you weren't making light of someone's death. You were simply wondering wtf they will do with their little Schtick now. These heauxs need to pipe down

I honestly have no opinion whatsoever about him, as I only know what he does for a living and that he’s willingly hanging out with John Mayer and Jeremy Piven. Having those two concentrated in one place is worth whatever sacrifice might come from depriving non-douches of Corden’s company.

Your mom has terrible taste in music.

Not an Angelina fan, but I can’t blame her here. From all accounts I’ve heard, Jon Voight is a shitty human being and a terrible father.

If you’re not eating something because you don’t like it, then you’re absolutely not who she’s getting at in this article. Chill out, she wasn’t getting a dig at you.

That’s fine and dandy that you just don’t like sugar, (though I don’t think she’s being quite so literal with the cake thing), but I feel obligated to say that what the bathroom scale says is no indication of whether or not a person has an eating disorder. (I’m not saying that you do, of course, but that in general…

I don’t think it’s that irrational. She *can* sing, but she doesn’t have a stellar, absolutely amazing voice. It’s pretty average. She can hit the notes but she doesn’t have a great range or a special character to her voice. Like, if she wasn’t already famous, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that she’d get a…

As someone who was abused by a prominent member of the BDSM community and deleted my social media accounts because I couldn’t handle seeing him praised as a “feminist”, I’m awed by Stoya’s bravery. I hope she gets all the support she deserves.

CeeLo Green is a rapist. Do not understand why people choose to not see this.

lolwtf, Islam came along 600 years after Jesus.

No way you are getting a refund folks. I saw a guy get murdered execution style in Belize and Carnival gave me 2 free drink coupons.

I’d rather be able to read Jane Austen for free and ignore the derivative shit than having to pay to read an author who’s been dead for 250 years so someone who did nothing for the creation of her works could profit.

As is, people can “parody” whatever they want. Often in quite vulgar ways. Copyright does not protect you from that, it’s considered fair use.

If the book entered the public domain, and some scandalous group decided to publish their own version, to line their own pockets, could they?

Copyright lawyer here. In this case, having the work enter the public domain wouldn’t likely result in “profiteering.” In fact, the reverse would be true. Anyone would be able to do what they wanted with the diary —- give copies away, create derivative works (digital editions, adaptations, plays, musicals, movies,…

Ah, you’re right. If I were to read your comment and tell you to “stop emitting that strange noise when you flap your meat at me, you semi-sentient pile of elephant droppings,” you have neither a reason to be offended, nor the right to state that the statement is offensive. Likewise, were I to print out that phrase,…
