  • Supreme Court is going to uphold it, watch. The Supreme Court isn’t really a viable source of decision making when it comes to these things.

    "The major record labels, including Sony and Universal, want the Supreme Court to take a closer look at the “profit motive”. They asked the Court to consider whether an ISP must profit directly from the infringement itself, or if profiting from the overall operation in which the infringement occurs is enough. "

    This is really just straight up bullying. Because, Sony and Universal for years have targeted pirates who they know are pirating and knew of the sources. They know the difference, it’s just they want more people to do their dirty work for them.

    To support this argument, the music companies cited the dance hall cases, in which courts have held that the owners of venues can be held liable for copyright infringement committed by performers they hire.

    The petition further cited the Supreme Court’s holding in Herbert v. Shanley Co. that a hotel could be held liable for the infringing performance of an orchestra it employed. The Court concluded that the hotel profited from the performance, even though visitors only paid for their meal, not the music.

    Fucking dumb logic.

    "“That would imperil the livelihoods, safety, and social connections of a massive universe of downstream users who rely on internet connections to run businesses, pay bills, apply to jobs, read the news, connect with friends and family, petition their representatives, and attend school.” "

    True. But “muh muneh” are all that these studios care about.





  • I’ve only registered to it when I feel I need to interact a little more than few on here. I’d last long enough until I’m shadowbanned or banned outright because of a report from an overly-sensitive redditard.

    I keep registering just out of spite though because if Reddit cared about alts or shit, they’d re-tool their registration by now. But, Reddit never learns anything so why not keep abusing it.

    It’s only been getting longer between times though before I consider re-registering again. Just playing the whole ban evading whack-a-mole with them. But I do make my feelings known time to time about Spez because that shithead can still go fuck himself and that stupid grin of his.
