ESPN and The Mouse vs. YouTube TV
Yeah, one of the primary rights provided by copyright is the exclusive right to reproduce a copyrighted work. Unlike downloading content, which could get you in trouble with your ISP and with rights owners, viewing a stream doesn't involve the reproduction right. If you are saving streams, you're reproducing. If you're re-streaming, you're violating the exclusive right to distribute copyrighted work. ISPs cut off downloaders, because if they didn't after acquiring knowledge of extensive infringement, the rights owners would sue them for contributory infringement, having provided the instrumentality for the downloaders to infringe. I'm not sure any theory of contributory infringement could apply to viewers of illegal streams, or to the ISPs that "allow" them to.

Baylor sucks.
Sounds like Rhoades might have a lil drinky problem. Only a drunk would get that aggro about something like that.

Bitchass whinging about unfollowed replies on some First Amendment basis. For me, not thee.- ICE activity/raids
Look at those motherfuckers, armed with black rifles and tacticool gear, walking down the sidewalk in an American neighborhood that looks to be above the mean. This is what you voted for.- ICE activity/raids
Johnson is such a toady. I'm glad the Chief and City Council were right-minded on this.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
"dm me" is a nice touch, too.- Trump’s America
Or the cat food. In your bank account.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
I think you mean ho.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
So, Rikki, is a pinky ring just too much?- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Fucking "Patriot" Awards, honoring only MAGA grifters, from an alleged news network. But MSM is biased!- Hegseth & the Boys
What's kind of amusing is that with steam and rifled cannon in turrets came the maneuverability and range to engage another ship or ships at range and somewhat independent of formation (battle lines no longer required). And then we had maybe a dozen of those kind of naval battles over the next 30-40 years and then nada. Right, and much more a dreadnought battleship than a sail-powered ship of the line.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Yeah, why is Carville hiring W&C when the AD was libeled, if he was libeled. Bizarro. That said, if W&C files suit in Louisiana, they'll do everything in their power to neutralize the politics or tilt them in their favor.- Trump’s America
Bet he's glad that dress uniform includes gloves.- Trump’s America
One lie destroys credibility. Dozens or hundreds of lies don't.- Trump’s America
Exceptionally stupid. And bigoted.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I won't call them flat bad. This year is flat bad. But for the reasons you cite, they were less than championship caliber, for sure, and were exposed when playing top-level defenses.- Trump’s America
But all politicians lie!- Hegseth & the Boys
If you're going to include sailing ships with broadside smoothbore/muzzle-loading cannon, then you have to include aircraft carriers. Although it may have been aspirational, longer-range naval artillery didn't really exist until rifled breech-loaders, which also roughly coincided with steam power and iron hulls.- Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread

Oh they're super serious about making money.- Hegseth & the Boys
What's kind of interesting is that the tradition of battleships lasted only about 50 years. Even if you expand the classification to powered, iron/steel hulled warships, it's 75 years, 100 at the outside.- Trump’s America
Also a misdemeanor, which is uncommon in federal court and likely viewed by at least the judge and defense as a nuisance to be disposed of. And, in your typical, relatively complex federal prosecution, the prosecution has to do months or years of investigation, generating a bunch of evidence, most of which has to be given to the defendant and the defendant then has to have some time to go through it. Then you have your pretrial motions about whether the criminal statute really fits the offense and so on. Most federal crimes are not of the simple, common-law type like assault, burglary, rape, murder. Even in this case, though, it seems the defense did some pretty serious investigation to find that the agent had received gag gifts over it. Long story short, this has no business being in federal court and everyone knew it. What's interesting to me is that a DC jury took seven hours to acquit. That tells me that the jury took the case seriously despite being obviously political. It may have been a crazy holdout situation, but I think from the questions they sent the judge, they tried pretty hard to decide if the actions really fit the definition of the crime. Final note, everyone involved had some recognition that trial time in a US District Court is a rare and precious resource. The defense doesn't really care as long as it gets its trial sometime in the millennium, but the judge for sure and the prosecution, probably, care quite a bit that 2-4 days of precious trial time are taken up by unserious, political cases.- Investment Opportunity - Surly Tech
You really ought to put some of this down in a pro-forma. I think it would be your intention for the investors to decide what to do, but that could get hairy real fast. - The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
