Wait, if you're making bank on selling nude baby pictures, isn't that just distributing child porn?

It has been a fun experiment and better than what was done before but Mark Trail is really beginning to stink. I think Jules needs a writer/editor partner really badly. Just anybody to point out how weird and confusing everything is, or how unsatisfying or impossible it is. Mark Trail now has two non-plots going on that can only end in 100% legal actions where our heroes fail. 1) Cherry ignored the HOA that owns the property who installed decorative shrubs in place of hers. She's going to unleash a tide of invasive wild boars to combat sinister invasive butterfly bushes. I guess we're supposed to knee-jerk say "rich snobby people bad, HOA bad" but even if 100% successful the HOA will just re-plant the same bushes and they're not going to hire the eco-terrorist who destroyed them the first time. I guess this is pure petty revenge. 2) Mark is assaulting a man and openly admitting to being part of a theft with an alarm system going off. Even if the Herp duo get away all Cricket Bro has to do is call a lawyer, point to the employment contract regarding ownership of the app data(yes Cricket Bro is a dick, no they have no leg to stand on,) block any use of it and oh yeah, call the cops and charge the three with all these easily witnessed crimes. Are we doing the magic exploding boat gag again where everybody forgets everything with a scene change? Edit: Like if Mark needed to do a really big and heroic last ditch super distraction he could've feigned losing his temper and called Cricket Bro into the ring, do some lead up like "If you win I'll do [integrity destroying X] and if I win you'll stop calling me Marky(ooooh have you been following the story from the start oooooh that tie-in to earlier detail)" and completely draw him in by taking advantage of his egotism, letting the Herp duo get away safely, raising the stakes and giving us the big climax. Instead Mark just admits everything to the one guy he absolutely can't, shooting his own foot with a shotgun. I guess Mark is really stupid or he read the script and knows Cricket Bro gets arrested and his company dissolved or some other deus ex machina tomorrow.

Embarrassing baby pictures does not necessarily mean nude wtf people and NFTs aren't even selling the picture anyway, they are selling a receipt for the idea of the picture, and that's the way you can phrase it to sound less dumb than the reality

Not even that; ownership of a digital token loosely associated with the pictures. No ownership, license or even copies of the pictures are necessarily included. It's quite difficult to properly express how stupid NFTs are; you naturally want to assume that there's some sense to them, but there really isn't.

If she was the photographer, then she's the copyright holder of the picture and can do what she wants with it. Of course, NFTs confer no legal ownership or rights, so that doesn't really matter. Really, all people are doing is selling a private key to a piece of text with a URL in it. They can make as many of those as they want, for anything they want, and legally it doesn't mean a drat thing. And I doubt any country has gotten around to putting up laws around NFTs. And there'd probably be no point in doing so now, since the fad looks to be pretty much over.

Woapalanne posted:Wait, if you're making bank on selling nude baby pictures, isn't that just distributing child porn? Longer answer: It depends, but it's not as cut and dry as "naked and underage = child porn" (at least in the US - maybe other countries vary). Depending on how it's marketed, it could, but would not be just by virtue of showing a naked baby butt. You can go to any stock photo site on the internet and they'll all have photos of naked baby butts. They're not selling them as a sexual photo, but just a cute baby photo, which is more what ZitsMom is doing. Now, if she sells it like "check out this HOT baby's sweet can" yeah there might be a case to be had there for distribution of child porn. It probably becomes even harder to make a case when you recognize that selling an NFT isn't even selling the photo, it's selling a link to a photo that lives on a server somewhere, and may not even be the same photo five seconds after it's sold!

In my country you are automatically the copyright holder of your own face. You can't publish a photo of someone else without their consent.

Pastry of the Year posted:Imgur is just loving up non-stop for me this morning. I'm getting this situation in which the image I try to upload flashes on the screen for a moment, then disappears and is replaced with that "yikes, it appears this upload failed" message. Multiple browsers, with and without browser add-ons enabled. Sometimes this resolves itself, but I've been trying off and on for a couple of hours now. Any advice? 2018 Spiderman  1979 comics      Locher Tracy  Origins of the Sunday Comics  The Lockhorns   Footrot Flats  Mandrake   Johnny Hazard   I'll be honest, unless something starts grabbing me in Johnny Hazard soon I'm probably going to drop it. The past couple weeks of strips mostly seem to be wheel-spinning.

I mean, I knew it had to be coming soon, but seeing the end of Deathless Deer is sad. The reviews aren't wrong, but I've been enjoying it quite a bit anyways. It hits at just the right intersection of sincere, goofy, and bad that makes it a delight. That said, uh... is anybody gonna get the Professor and Frappy out? Got distracted yesterday and I've got an appointment today, so my comics will be a bit late today. Edit: Also, lol, eat poo poo Rauno.

Any second now. Just keep reading. The good stuff is going to kick in riiiiiight.... And then, of course, it never gets good. But it's enough to keep me interested, you know?  It wasn't his idea, but clearly he signed off on it. Gunther is a bad friend, a bad boyfriend, and a bad person.

Shugojin posted:if this somehow works out to them being together i'm going to be angry Which combo, because I'm suddenly endeared to a Tiff/Bets relationship, but that's just because they accidentally made all the "villains" more human and relatable than the supposed main characters, so seeing these two characters actually feel and act like normal people gives them a thousand times more chemistry with each other than Gunther has ever had with anybody. But if anything good happens to Gunther, I'll be right there with ya.

Sally is canonically a better fighter than Bugs Meany, so she'd find out, and beat the crap out of him, and then it's the Idaville wars again. Really, once Bugs decided to drop the money, he should just have left. No point in sticking around for Encyclopedia to explain what happened; the only other suspect is a talking house.
