This is the problem with something like the DMCA people use it all the time to force take downs of things but part of the DMCA notices is you are issuing them in good faith. Since whatever contractor they had enforcing this is just firing t

I think what's being missed here is that time is money. So while you may not be willing to part with cash, if you're willing to invest time in solving problems then you're already exploring things you'd "pay to sol

Gratuities on Royal Caribbean are obligatory, so it is a matter of when you prefer to pay them. This is not a gratuity then. You've misinterpreted the word. Gratuities are gifts not required payments. This is a fee that you pay. Instea

If you want that, write that in to your employment contract. No government entity forces credits to be on a movie. They are there because they're part of the contract. I've seen games do this, they list the developers, artists, de

You're confusing the idea of many of the founders not supporting a standing army and the idea of gun registration or the national guard being considered a militia. Hence why there's specific provisions about not being able to qua

People don't forget that part, but people fail to understand that part. It's a fallacy to say that people can keep firearms only in regards to service in a state organized militia. This has been roundly rejected by all constituti

It was neat but I never thought it would go anywhere. The idea was kind of like being able to leave virtual graffiti. So anyone could leave their "Kilroy was here" but without actually defacing anything.

You don't say where you're living or if you rent vs own. All of that can make a difference on what you're allowed to do. General advice: Get a doorbell camera and/or a peephole camera. This way you can record who did it

I think people's issue is less with the race swap, even in a docudrama, but more the defense of it as being more genuinely correct race for the role. That's just intentionally misleading as as you say an ideology decision. There w
