quote:America has some absurdly insane IP laws: copyright lasts for 70 years after the death of the author, so roughly 100-120 years for an average lifespan. To put that in perspective, if it were enforced retroactively (it's not, but it's easier to think about), stuff from the 1890s would just now be entering the public domain.

RiotGearEpsilon posted:So apparently Donald Trump once withdrew financial support for the medical care of his nephew's cerebral palsy in retaliation for his brother / his nephew's father suing over getting written out of their father's inheritance. Donald Trump with-held medical care from a sick child out of spite. This is from a NY Times article that ran back in January of this year. Doubt it'll get any traction more than it did in January, other than to cement Trump as a meanie.

How likely is it that this will get any traction? I mean the potential defamation, did she even say anything particularly malicious to them? Obviously Clinton didn't really make any big mistakes with regards to the deaths.

Yes dear, and European countries implemented death plus 70 years before we did. IIRC the first one to do it did it in the 60s, the US was a relative latecomer to the death+70 bar. For instance, France seems to have already held a death+70 (and death+100 if the author died while at war for france) term by 1985.

Oh yeah, and Clinton's emails did Benghazi now:quote:Having used a secret private email server that we now know was used to communicate with Ambassador Christopher Stevens with confidential and classified government information, and which we also now know was likely hacked by hostile adversaries such as Iran, Russia, China and North Korea aligning with terrorist groups, it is clear that Hillary Clinton allegedly negligently and recklessly gave up the classified location of the plaintiffs' sons, resulting in a deadly terrorist attack that took their lives,” Klayman said in a statement

That seems like a fun way to get sanctions put on you. Remind me, was Klayman the one who actually tried to get a minority judge recused because he thought that they would be ethnically biased against his client, resulting in him being barred from the court and sanctioned, or am I mistaking him for another right-wing hack.

Because when the president of the united states decides to start an anti-police race war (since police are a race), a court order will totally put an end to it.
