The imbalance against giant corporations isn’t anything to sneeze at, but there are just as many (probably more) small time companies breaking copyright law and hoping nobody notices. For example, stealing artwork to print on cheap crap that you sell below what the creator is selling them for. If they’re in an area that recognizes that copyright then they’re going to lose every time, and they’re not going to have enough money to drag it out. After that happens artists can recover all the earnings that were made with their work. Without that the artist is just fucked.

No, that was a shock site. You’re thinking of Lemon Party.
I saw a guy doing this recently (not to a barista, but someone that worked with the public) and the only thing that kept me from losing my mind on him was knowing there was no way the worker wanted to deal with him AND me blowing up at him. He eventually just left, but it was maddening to witness.
Also, IME upper middle and upper class people are about 1000% more likely to do this than anyone else. This douche sounded like the frattiest frat bro to ever frat.
There are so many vultures waiting to feast on corpses. Stock brokers make out like bandits during crashes, wouldn’t surprise me if something similar goes on with real estate.
The lack of any photos of anything other than dyed real eggs and an instagram post from a cooking blog showing off their nicely decorated chocolate eggs is also a big tip off.
Social Security is a federal program. It going under will not only affect boomers in Oklahoma, and the 65+ demographic voted for Trump at the same rate as 18-29s (51%).
Age is not a determiner of morality, and gathering to point and laugh while the elderly and disabled die due to eliminating government safety nets sure fits in with the Nazi zeitgeist, but probably not the way y’all want it to.
So they’re not suffering from social security collapsing, the topic of this post?? I didn’t think that needed clarifying
This is a really weird comment to make about someone’s dead relatives.
Glad my parents and grandparents are all dead already. Real normal thoughts to be having.
Nobody ever likes this answer, but it’s the truth.
Really burying the lede with that headline, Jesus Christ.
In what sense is a ladder getting pulled up if IP is respected? Anyone can make a new IP, there’s not a limited supply of imagination. You can’t make everyone like what you come up with or buy it, but why should that entitle you to being able to profit off someone else’s work?
