[Comics] [Marvel] [New Warriors] Still talking about the SJW...
by Cecilia Tanaka 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

I think everybody knows I am an old school nerd, who likes my comics, movies, series, books, anime, whatever, with good stories and interesting characters. This kind of stupid hypocrisy really makes me deeply sick. Sorry, "New Warriors" is very *offensive* in several ways, not "inclusive". <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PCWUCv1rnU> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PzmQqq96bA> <https://youtu.be/c7VWTScVLr8> OK, we have overweight, women, men, non-binary, Black, White, and Latin heroes, probably at least one of them will be gay/lesbian and/or disabled too in the next editions, but we do NOT have good characters and - For Darwin' sake!!! - a good story to be told... (+_+)* Pardon, how can I respect heroes named "Safespace" and "Snowflake"?!?! :-/ My conclusion about this f_cking waste of time? >> 目がくさる ! >:( (Hey, and where are the Asians, uh? Hahahahaha!!! ;D) Ceci, feeling "vergonha alheia"... (Brazilian expression that means I am feeling very ashamed for someone or something, like these horrible SJW comics.)

MAFIAA: Supreme State Gets Sovereign Copyright Immunity, Fileshares Still Go to Jail
by grarpamp 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

https://petapixel.com/2020/03/23/the-supreme-court-just-decided-that-states… The Supreme Court of the United States dealt a major blow to photographers' copyright protections when it declared that states cannot be sued for copyright infringement because they have "sovereign immunity." The case began in 2013, when videographer Frederick Allen sued North Carolina for using his videos of the salvage of Queen Anne's Revenge, a shipwreck discovered off the North Carolina coast in 1998, without permission. The state claimed "sovereign immunity," and though they initially lost this argument in the Eastern District of North Carolina... In essence, the Supreme Court agreed with the Fourth Circuit, ultimately striking down the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act (CRCA) of 1990. This 30-year-old amendment to the Copyright Act of 1976 tried to strip states of their sovereign immunity where copyright was concerned, and it was at the core of Allen's lawsuit. If states can't claim sovereign immunity to get out of copyright infringement, then North Carolina had no defense. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court agreed with the Fourth Circuit, stating that Congress lacked the authority to take away State's immunity in the CRCA, passing the buck back to Congress and giving states carte blanche to infringe with impunity.

military lock down in 2 weeks, possibly/probably -- [gilmay97@gmail.com: From a reliable friend]
by Zenaan Harkness 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Possibility of a military lock down ("Level 5" or whatever they call it) in about 2 weeks. (I.e. scratch this morning's prediction of 6 or so weeks or more! You might have 2 weeks to prepare for the following few weeks.) Any cash balances in your bank accounts may disappear, or if your're super lucky may in some way be converted to the new semi-global currency on the way. So probably better to spend any cash lying around. Rum may well hold its value better than fiat currency cash, over the coming month or so. - New Zealand parliament today announced they too are going home, this for 6 weeks (vs Australia at officially "6 months" for our federal parliament).
