Wouldn't corporate branding be enough? Even if Mario entered into public domain, Nintendo Mario games would still be the superior choice. It isn't like people would be allowed to claim their game was an official Nintendo Mario ga

The idea that employers will fire you for justifiable reasons when the reality is that they are firing for unjustifiable reasons is far more than simple conspiracy theory. There are numerous cases of people winning discrimination lawsuits

Would Japan qualify as authoritarian? Yet it is safe to leave things out without watching them, except for umbrellas. There are even places in the US where it is safe enough. I doubt these places are more authoritarian but instead allow

So how to draw the distinction between this sort of self-censorship and the self-censorship that has often been seen as a positive outcome by those who defend it with the rational that the company is a private organization and isn't be

I think the distinction still exists, just in a slightly different form. Let's take two alternative government. One that works by having volunteers and one that prints money to pay people. Right to a speedy trial: Government 1 cannot

It is a cost that the government has to provide you if they want to try you. Put another way, it is saying the government has the right to try someone only if they can provide a fair and speedy trial (with lawyers for those who can't

I purpose the argument that our similarity function is ill equipped to differentiate those intersections in a meaningful way. I think this matters because it calls into question if our differential treatment is really, or is solely, based

Is there a better example of this than Epstein? To get away with one of the worst crimes for decades and once caught, to get a penalty that would be considered a slap on the wrist for tax evasion or drug possession, much less what he did.

And just like the real person cannot get a write off for things required to live or things that make them more attractive on the market, neither should businesses. If I have to pay taxes on the income I spent to repaint my house, why shoul
