Bored As gently caress posted:We never funded Bin Laden, or Al Qaeda, nor did wr ever give them financial support. This trope / myth needs to die. We gave the ISI fat stacks of cash, but we were not allowed to control disbursement of said cash, or knew where it went once it passed into Pakistani hands. It is possible that the cash infusion from the US to the ISI to fight the proxy war vs the Soviets gave Bin Laden some scratch, indirectly. He did not receive CIA training or whatever else the loons on the internet claim, but it is entirely possible that a couple pallets of greenbacks came his way. Plausible deniability, as it were, because the CIA was so terrified of being blamed for another gently caress up that they intentionally weren't paying attention to what the Pakistanis were doing with the cash, and the Soviets were getting their asses beat so back slaps and congratulations all around. orange juche fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Dec 11, 2020 |

Duzzy Funlop posted:Putin called to congratulate Biden, apparently. That's gotta piss Trump off some more I mean, trump did exactly what putin wanted, injected massive uncertainty in the electoral process, and has severely undermined his successors presidency before it even gets off the ground, which guarantees a weak Biden presidency, and putin will be free to do whatever he wants for another 4 years. Putin has no further need for trump. Granted a Biden presidency wasn't going to be strong anyways, but any stance stiffer than kowtowing to dictators is an immovable mountain next to trump.

Jarmak posted:No, it's not, because as I already said, the relevant text doesn't just mirror the existing statute, it explicitly defines itself as being controlled by the existing statute. So, like I already said, if this text applies to streamers, than the existing statute already criminalizes streaming on twitch. In that case this bill still doesn't apply because it's targeting a different aspect of the value stream, twitch itself (the original law would). I'm going to quote this motherfucker so that when someone gets pulled up on loving charges in a year for having a copyrighted police siren sample (because sound effects banks are copyrighted), or the Wilhelm scream in a video and goes to jail, I can find it and shoot it back at you. Never let legislative intent get in the way of an IP lawyer.

Jarmak posted:Post some sources sources or shut up with this "some people say" poo poo. Did you miss the top line of that quoted article? The CASE Act is in that bill along with the felony streaming act. E: I see you mentioned the CASE act, but either way, whether its the felony act or whatever else they cook up, this gives copyright holders and copyright trolls broad leeway to raw dog anyone who doesn't have a really good lawyer on retainer, monitoring for people threatening legal action. CASE Act, from the same article Electronic Frontier Foundation posted:The CASE Act is supposed to be a solution to the complicated problem of online copyright infringement. In reality, it creates a system that will harm everyday users who, unlike the big players, won’t have the time and capacity to negotiate this new bureaucracy. In essence, it creates a new “Copyright Claims Board” in the Copyright Office that will be empowered to adjudicate copyright infringement claims, unless the accused received a notice, recognizes what it means, and opts out—in a very specific manner, within a limited time period. The Board will be staffed by “claims officers,” not judges or juries. You can appeal their rulings, but only on a limited basis, so you may be stuck with whatever amount the “claims board” decides you owe. Large, well-resourced players will not be affected, as they will have the resources to track notices and simply refuse to participate. The rest of us? We’ll be on the hook. Unless you got some proof it's been stripped out, that literally kills Twitch, Twitter, Youtube, anything that small folks could create content on, because the immediate effect is that instead of a DMCA takedown notice, you get a short period to respond to an organization, or face a large monetary fine. You may not go to jail for CASE Act, but you can certainly be financially ruined for putting the wilhelm scream in a video. Really there's about 6 different ways Thom Tillis slipped bullshit in that bill, including a DMCA revision that ups the penalty from a naughty note to your ISP who may or may not do anything because they're protected by safe harbor, to telling the ISP "sever this user's Internet connection, permanently, or face stiff penalties". orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Dec 22, 2020 |

Read the CASE act in its entirety, and it basically says, "If you have someone raise a claim against you, you have 30 days to cease the infringing activity (claimant can still seek damages against you, even if you stop, for already committed activity, up to 30,000 USD), or lawyer up, try to fight it, and if you lose, you have to pay out up to 30,000 USD, on top of legal fees. The person being served has no option to counterclaim or seek dismissal without involving legal counsel. They have to lawyer up and pray that they win their legal case. Good news is if you can drag it out for 3 years without losing your case, it gets dismissed! (you're still paying 3 years of laywer's fees). It's all small claims court though so nobody's going to jail over it, they'll absolutely be financially ruined though. It's a big wet sloppy blowjob to the people who have back end analytic access to content ID systems and can send out 10,000 claims per day. orange juche fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Dec 23, 2020 |

bulletsponge13 posted:Ok, I'm starting to like the Orange gently caress. He's just going full potato, and it's fantastic. The perfect ending to the year. Not exactly, but accepting one carries an implicit admission of guilt that could be used as evidence of crimes related to the thing you got pardoned for. Example: if you got brought up on federal and state charges for the same thing but got pardoned of federal charges, then it could be used as a proof that you did it. It's basically waiving your 5th amendment rights not to self-incriminate. orange juche fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Dec 24, 2020 |

Defenestrategy posted:So effectively if you get brought to court on matters relating to the pardon you have to either tell the truth or perjure yourself? You can actually take the 5th and claim that you would expose yourself to prosecution at the state level, however a state prosecutor is liable to go to the US attorneys office and say "hey gimme the deets on that case" so they can investigate to see if they can bring state charges for the same or similar things. This is probably actually happening right now at this moment for most of the folks Trump is pardoning. The federal pardon is not going to be the end of the road for a lot of this poo poo.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:There was mention that NY dropped the Manafort case after the federal conviction due to double jeopardy rules. Does that change with a pardon? The New York state courts threw out the state case because of New York's strong double jeopardy protections (they were not dismissed with prejudice, though), however New York also has a law that says that accepting a federal pardon removes your double jeopardy immunity at the state level, so the state DA is right now probably rolling up their sleeves and getting ready to super slam him. (this law is how they're planning on nabbing Trump if he pardons himself for financial crimes etc, it's also why NYS has been extremely quiet about unveiling charges against Trump, to potentially prevent the double jeopardy law from kicking in.) All the state DA will have to do is say "Look! He accepted a pardon! We can reopen the case now!" and the state courts will say "Ok do it". orange juche fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Dec 24, 2020 |
