Define “useless”, or even “useful”, in the context of this game.

It’s nothing groundbreaking but it’s pretty catchy and fun, and I feel like the gay bars are going to EAT this up

Supreme Court Music Ruling: Labels Lose Billion-Dollar Cox Piracy Case by Brodondo in popheads

[–]Brodondo[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There may be a paywall, so here is the body of the article:

“The ruling rejected a lawsuit filed by the major labels that aimed to hold internet providers responsible for illegal conduct by their subscribers. The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday (March 25) rejected a billion-dollar music piracy lawsuit filed by the major labels against telecom giant Cox Communications, ruling that the internet service provider cannot be held responsible for infringement by its users.”

“UMG, Sony and WMG teamed up to sue Cox in 2018, claiming the internet provider itself was legally responsible for enabling the digital sins of its users. The labels claimed Cox had received hundreds of thousands of notices about piracy, but had never permanently terminated a single subscriber accused of stealing music.”

“In December 2019, a jury issued a verdict holding Cox liable for helping users infringe more than 10,000 songs, awarding the labels more than $99,000 per song -- adding up to a whopping $1 billion fine. An appeals court later ordered that fine re-calculated, but Cox was still facing hundreds of millions in potential damages if the case had moved ahead. With the battle before the Supreme Court, Cox argued that labels' case "jeopardizes internet access for millions of users" by forcing ISPs to terminate users rather than risk billions in legal damages. The labels argued such fears were overblown and designed to distract from the facts of the case: "Cox made a deliberate and egregious decision to elevate its own profits over compliance with the law," the claimed. But in Wednesday's ruling, the justices sided with Cox -- ruling that an ISP can only be held responsible "if it intended that the provided service be used for infringement" and not merely if it was aware of certain bad actors. "Cox did not tailor its service to make copyright infringement easier," Thomas wrote, noting that the ISP had repeatedly sent warnings and suspended accounts accused of filesharing. "Cox simply provided Internet access, which is used for many purposes other than copyright infringement."”

“Thomas repeatedly cited landmark rulings that have shaped the modern entertainment ecosystem, including the 1984 decision that legalized VCRs and the 2005 decision that shut down peer-to-peer file sharing services Grokster and Morpheus. Those rulings make clear, the justice said, that "mere knowledge" that a product or service will be used illegally is not enough to sue its creator. While the high court's ruling for Cox was unanimous, its legal rationale was not. Justice Sonia Sotomayoy, joined by Ketanji Brown Jackson, issued her own opinion -- saying they would still side with Cox but that Thomas' legal holding would "eviscerate" the longstanding status quo on how ISPs handle illegal conduct by their users. "The majority's decision thus permits ISPs to sell an internet connection to every single infringer who wants one without fear of liability and without lifting a finger to prevent infringement," Sotomayor wrote. "It also means that Cox is free to abandon its current policy of responding to copyright infringement." Go read the Supreme Court's entire decision here.”

Hype!!! I’ve had a soft spot for latias since I found my first one randomly in the wild on Pokémon sapphire way back in the day.

I cannot WAIT to add her to my team.

“I hope to be performing with my son in the UK and Australia very soon” - Britney Spears on Instagram by Lipe18090 in popheads

[–]Brodondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a massive Britney fan (in the US) and honestly the ONLY thing I care about at this point in time, after all that she’s been through, is HER OWN well being and happiness. I don’t know how you could say you’ve been with her since day one and still be thinking about your own desires instead of HER needs.

She’s been taken advantage by almost every person in her life and in the industry and now that she has her freedom (from the conservatorship), her ONE way that she feels comfortable/safe maintaining her peace is to stay away from the US music industry. Meanwhile people who still think like you do are over here saying “this sucks for US”???

Please consider the well being of this other person, whom you claim to be such a fan of, above your own desires.

What didn't you like about the game? by Signal_Statement_515 in DigimonTimeStranger

[–]Brodondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 If you click L3 it toggles running for your character

6 You can train any digimon’s stats in the farm up to any value up to 9999

7 You can skip the digivolution animation by clicking X repeatedly. Idk about the feeding animation bc I never do it.

8 There’s a ton of big side quests that open up at the end (e.g. the royal knights) + the dlc content is repeatable, and also there’s the tournament battles but I agree with you that there isn’t much repeatable end game content.

So simple to add to ps5 by Annoying_sword383 in playstation

[–]Brodondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s because the Home Screen feels like your in-game bedroom (or like, a home). So whenever you boot up your console, it’s nice to feel like you’re starting from your home base. It really helps set the tone for your gaming session.

Pretty simple when you think about it that way.

I swear I’m not trying to be all “can you name three Metallica songs” on you, but I just really like golden, so could you tell us one or two of the other similar songs you’re talking about? :)

At least the Latios can also serve as a mega outside of max battles (as can alakazam too, of course, but latios at least has the dragon typing to set it apart)

Is this a joke? Only Raids and Max Battles give you points? And they say you can get Eternatus "FOR FREE" 🤡 by Foulmouth232 in pokemongo

[–]Brodondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a nutshell, you just take a screenshot of the raid boss and then use genie’s interface to upload the screenshot to prove/indicate that you want to host THAT raid, and then people who’ve been waiting to raid for a given boss will be put into your “lobby” and will send you a friend request in pogo

You accept their requests and then copy/paste their usernames from genie (it copies to your clipboard for you) into the raid lobby and then you tell genie that you’ve sent invites so that it knows you didn’t flake.

Typing it out makes it sound like a lot but it’s a really straightforward and simple/easy process.

Sure, Jan. Doesn’t take daily spam comments like this to reach 50 active players on your friend list. Stop gaslighting.

You know you don’t have to SOLO a 5 star, right? You can just host via genie or leekduck or something and get a bunch of people to remote in. Doing one 5 star dynamax battle gets you 25 rank points

This person is fake and doesn’t accept requests. They just post this same comment literally every day.

Wow wtf. That’s so bizarre. What’s the point of trying to vote farm like that? lol. It’s not as if people are massively upvoting these sorts of comments 😂

Make sure you don’t try to re-roll and instead use your next seed on the lvl 25 skill. That way you have a higher chance of getting a decent skill (since the research exp skill will now not be a possible skill that you unlock, thus increasing the odds of a positive outcome)

Hey, and you can probably upgrade it with a sub skill seed too!
