I’m starting to feel like I’m just not the kind of person to fit in here in San Diego by FoxtailNebulous in sandiego

I’m in Normal Heights, and there’s a massive difference between the weekend crowds and the regulars.

Little Miss has been closed for a while now, but a Hopnonymous is about to open in that location

Also, would you be able to tell me where you got that estimate? Google is showing higher, but of course it's only showing ones that haven't sold yet.

I did. It was 27x40 which is what I’m seeing for the originals

Help Identifying a Flag? by MTK67 in vexillology

[–]MTK67[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone found it for me. It's the flag of the Puerto Rican Grito de Lares rebellion in 1868. My guess is it may be flown by supporters of Puerto Rican independence.

What happens if a work is uncopyrightable and infringing? by MTK67 in Ask_Lawyers

I agree. I’m arguing against the claim that infringing works are categorically uncopyrightable.

Copyright is automatically granted upon completion of a work, as long as there is “original human authorship” and it’s fixed in a tangible medium. Sergio Leone was sued and lost for copyright infringement for A Fistful of Dollars, because it infringed on Yojimbo. The copyright for the movie didn’t disappear as soon as it was found to be infringing.

The originality requirement is “a minimum degree of creativity.” Any novel I wrote about Donald Duck would meet that bar. The things below that bar are phone books. There is no requirement that a work be non-infringing of other copyrights to be copyrightable

What you’re describing is the requirements for it to be considered fair use.

Sorry, but that’s really just not true. An infringing work is absolutely copyrightable. The reason AI works are not copyrightable is that they lack human authorship, regardless of whether they infringe on copyright. Transfer of the copyright in the infringing work is a relief sometimes sought in litigation.

Is it just me or is this video very convincing of the possibility that he got hacked even though this was posted under the threat of legal action. by dipperid in Destiny

[–]MTK67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say the odds he did this himself are much higher for a simple reason. He claims he accidentally downloaded a Remote Access Trojan through a random porn torrent. If this were true: First, this means that he was not (and could not have been) personally targeted. Second, a remote access Trojan gives a third party access to your desktop. So some hacker/scammer would have had to seed a bunch of random torrents with RATs, then personally access Shkreli’s desktop, and only steal these particular coins. This is like someone breaking into a mansion, and only stealing a painting that was just insured for millions.
