Funny, I live in a small suburbia style town in the mountains, our infrastructure prices are much cheaper than California's, we have no big city we parasite off of, and everything here is much cheaper/affordable including housing,

In the case of the original article the UK, but I meant pretty much every society. Are you claiming that the UK regulations titled 'The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations' don't exist?

Actually no, we have laws about these things. It's just that we don't enforce them once a company because large enough, because reasons. Does a woman deserve to be assaulted for walking alone after a certain time of night? You can

Imagine a local store pulling the 'we're too big to stop blatant fraud in our store'. Funny the double standard large corporations get for the blatant breaking of laws in their stores versus mom and pops.

I wrote their motions to the court, helped them file them, etc. I got a dozen people released during COVID, and those with lawyers adopted some of my work for their other cases. Sure seemed like 'lawyering' :)

Walmart routinely has price mismatches between the price on the shelf and the price at checkout, to the point if it was a local store they would be shut down. But for a big company they can just say 'oops, our bad, we're just too

As someone who became a 'jailhouse lawyer' I disagree. Once you understand the basics it's pretty understandable, and it's self documenting with our use of case law. Now, the fact that to read the cases, which are the te

Post that you are releasing your source code as free while releasing it under the GPL license not BSD/MIT. That will make them go ballistic :)

Yes, the internet turning to garbage is the aggregators' fault. When I go to Spotify and modern music sucks, I blame Spotify for aggregating it.

Yes, the problem with Wikipedia is that it doesn't allow enough fringe, pro-violence conspiracy theorists! Nailed it!

This example has already been countered multiple times. You can not copyright a solid blue painting, you can only copyright an 'installation' of such. People in these discussions act as if copyright only came into being and hasn&#

I posit that none of these works will be copyrightable because to be copyrightable you need at least an 'anonymous artist' to assign their copyright to a company, and there is no 'anonymous artist' in these scenarios (a
