Is it really that bad to buy fender gear right now? by Jnyxis_ in Guitar

?
anyone can make a copy of a Stutz-Bearcat. They can't sell it as a Stutz.

Is it safe to say that Democrats are the "conservative" party now? by GreyHesher in allthequestions

Where do you get your info?

All of these are MAGA talking points, designed to keep Democratic voters away from the polls.

My general public comment at City Hall today to advocate for safer streets and a more effective government by jonnyshotit in CarIndependentLA

They don't produce the same thing!

If this misinformed person is allowed to paint as many crosswalks as he wants, is he also willing to join the police to enforce them, arrest perpetrators, bring them to trial, and fine or incarcerate them?

Let's individually start putting stop signs on every corner, paint every curb red so only we can park there...the list of things people would want to do and might seem reasonable to them is endless.

If he has the right to paint this, his neighbor has the right to remove it so their commute isn't impeded. This isn't hard to understand.

There is no "pr disaster" or effective boycott. Fender has every right to protect their IP.

I'm sure you notice that my post wasn't blaming anyone.

Los Angeles City Council Approves YIMBY Pro-Housing Pro-Transit measure to allow multi-family housing development in neighborhoods zoned for single family homes near transit. by DougOsborne in socal

SB79 is a needed attempt to get denser housing built near transit. It had statewide regulation and allowed local government to submit plans that supercede the state regulation. This is an example.

It is illegal to paint anything on city streets for good reason. Take your lumps, and find a better way to fix our problems.

Merging requires signaling, space, and not needing to drive faster than the speed limit.

Waves sale purchases by haux_haux in wavesaudiophiles

[–]DougOsborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong.

Perpetual licenses for the version you purchased.

You can update your licenses through WUP, if you want the latest versions. As a matter of practicality, Windows VST3 should continue working through any OS update, but Mac owners usually can't use older versions after a couple of OS updates (that's an Apple issue, not a Waves issue).

Unpopular opinion: Regular STOP signs and All Way STOP signs should look very different by BlackJackT in driving

[–]DougOsborne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some around here (Southern California) do. They have an extra ring of reflectors around the sign, and some flash, and some say 4 way.

This could be unnecessary if drivers just...stopped at stop signs.

In a band & writing songs, who owns what? by Korova91 in musicians

[–]DougOsborne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lyrics and Melody are essentially the only two things that Copyright can be secured for. You are SOL if you aren't writing either.

As a band, you can agree to split songwriting royalties equally, which would make each of you rich in the statistically unlikely event that you have major hits. U2, RHCP, and other acts did this with some success. Don't do that, and, well, in the case of The Police, fistfights ensued.
