Not in terms of anything that could be posted in this site in the form of a full article [I've done it many, many times myself].  But I'm not looking for a debate here, feel free to start one in the Individual Politics forum or wherevesky, and I promise to read it.

I have a new crime fighting tool:

Well, regardless of everybody's opinions of copyrights, it's the law, and since Dave (and 99.99% of America) doesn't like getting sued, the mods are going to start enforcing this.

Has Dave actually gotten many (or any) complaints?

No one knows.  Presumably he got a complaint when he posted that public request that people don't post copyrighted images way back when?  Not sure.

That's a genius idea, and I'm sad I didn't think of it.

Inks, it's not like Steve Gibson has a monopoly on being a douche.  There's nothing stopping you from doing the same, I'd be inclined to think.

Of course, if you do, the copyright bear will protect this forum.

Disgusting. This sort of criminal behavior would not be possible were it not for the evil that is the State.

Does anyone remember the "Bowser Revolution" minigame in the first Mario Party where Bowser would redistribute all four characters' coins so they all had the same amount?  That was when I first realized that Bowser was a commie.  Maybe Mario should be Reagan?

I often wondered why anyone would waste the time. Just put the link in the post. People either read it or they don't. No sense copying the whole article.

Actually, I've found when I just post the link, that people comment based on what they guess the article contains...

     Which actually might not be so bad. It helps separate the folks who bother to seriously read the articles that are posted from the ones who don't, so you know who to pay more attention to in the future.

Yeah like how everyone freaked out when I believe it was memphis who posted a thread about Obama and Co. abolishing the Second Amendment with a link that led to A STORY ABOUT SOME KID WHO CLIMBED MOUNT EVEREST.

Is the Copyright Bear scarier than Sexual Harassment Panda?
