That’s like saying John Cage holds a copyright on the sound of silence. [/quote] The Youtube channel Auralnauts released a video last year talking about how they were getting screwed on the monetization front and one of the examples they used was how they did a video removing the John Williams score from a Star Wars scene and it got a copyright claim against them about the music that wasn't in the video.

cult_hero posted:Well.... He shouldn't have credited Cage, because in doing so he's claiming that this was a performance of the Cage piece, as opposed to some unrelated period of silence. Then he tried to get clever, saying "Oh, it's not *John* Cage I was referring to, it's *Clint* Cage, some guy I made up who doesn't exist." Courts don't like it when people try to get clever.

When I was younger we had an indoor cat. We left for vacation and were gone a couple days. On returning and opening the door, a furry streak zoomed from some plants and through the open door. The cat had gotten out somehow and been stranded. He was traumatized for weeks.

4'33 isn't copyrightable because it's 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. If that's all it were, it *wouldn't* be copyrightable, anymore than white noise would be copyrightable. It's a piece of performance art. The artistic creativity in the piece is in the interaction of the performer and the audience. The assembled crowd sits there waiting for the performance, and the artist just sits there on stage, doing nothing. They get nervous. They start wondering what's going on, why's he just standing there not playing the piano. They start murmuring, wondering WTF's going on, maybe they start booing, maybe someone cracks a fart, even if they're just shifting around in their seats you'll hear them moving. In that interplay is silence impossible. If that guy had just recorded a minute of silence as filler, the Cage estate wouldn't have had a case in the slightest. But he specifically credited Cage, he's admitting he's duplicating the specific art. That's probably why he wound up settling. Even though I'd have loved to see him take it to court and win.

Legally, the origin of data matters. An electronic copy of 4′33″ is different than the silence recorded by my security camera with a busted microphone, even if they are bit‐for‐bit identical. If you make a work that is coincidentally very similar to another person’s work, that’s fine. You may have trouble convincing a court that it’s a coincidence, but if you can, you win. For example, there are only so many ways to do certain things in software. Teams of software developers sometimes use clean room technique to copy another program’s functionality without copying its code, even if the final code is so similar they might as well have copy & pasted it.

All you have to do to find the names/personal details is highlight the text.

Cat, dog, pig, whatever, if your animal is outside and not on a leash or contained to your property you're a lovely pet owner. I'm in an area where it's completely legal to kill trespassing animals and it usually happens fast, so to me it's always baffling when I hear people talk about letting their cat outside to just go wander around like it's a normal thing to do.

Baronjutter posted:My friend had a super cool cat, was a giant Siamese and it didn't mind getting a bath at all. Would just sort of bear it for a while but it you went on too long it would lose its cool and just start to howl. It sounded like a hurt and confused "WHYYYYYYY" It only needed baths later in life though when it wasn't cleaning as much and actually got sticky stuff caught in its fur. Normally cats are self-cleaning! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM5BCjNswd0 Bobby Digital posted:When my last set of cats were kittens, they would howl outside of the shower until they figured out how to wedge a paw in and push the shower door open enough to squeeze through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwSYm1NPHP4 And some classic cat bath schadenfreude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1f_Ec_msww

My parents used to have a big, lazy cat. He just hung out around the place, indoors, outdoors, wherever, though he often liked to lounge in the shade under a plum tree. (He's actually still there, covered in dirt and flowers). When he passed, my parents decided not to get another cat. Then they found that they had to put up netting around all the trees to keep the birds off the fruit, which had mysteriously not been a problem in the past.

Mu Zeta posted:So people where you live kill stray cats and stuff? That's what psychos do. Not necessarily. When I lived in California as a kid, we were outside the city in a very rural area. So people from the city would bring unwanted pets out to abandon them. Feral animals were a real issue. One day, in a neighboring town (well, 30 minutes away), a child under 5 (don't remember the exact age) was playing in his yard when a group of feral dogs got in the yard and attacked and killed the little boy (I think it was). I do remember their family dog getting in on the bloodlust. Shortly thereafter, a law was passed that allowed for unleashed, untagged animals to be shot on sight.

A local government near my home town in QLD actually pays $10 a pelt for feral cats, and your statement is still true, the area is called 'Banana' and the locals do live up to the idea of psychos sitting in their blocks of land all day waiting to shoot a cat for $10.
