Copyright madness: YouTube seems to doubt whether Shakespeare is in the public domain

One of the darker threads of Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) is how complex copyright enforcement systems can be abused, for example by sending Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown requests for material that is perfectly legal. A recent post on the Public Citizen blog offers an extreme example of this blight. Here’s the summary of what happened:

„#Musk promises a daily $1 million #lottery in questionable pro-Trump effort
#Legal experts raised concerns about the legality of the move because it ties a monetary reward to voter #registration status, which is prohibited under federal #law.“

And how long will it take for the legal situation to be clarified? One year? Two years?

For everyone saying « please vote » I agree but add: it’s not that easy. It’s not about just going to the polling station.

See here in San Francisco, the ballot has:
25 ballot measures
4 federal offices
2 states offices
9 Local offices and boards
—
41 decisions to make.

This requires planning, reading news articles, candidates websites, voter guides, debating with my friends if I have the time which I wont’t.
This amount of decision making is frankly discouraging. I will vote. I know who I’ll vote for president, but I probably won’t have the patience to read and lookup smaller offices like the SF treasurer or SF school board.

So when you say « please make a plan to vote » and list things about registration, I would encourage you to also include « please plan who and what you will vote for ». Encourage people to look up sample ballots and to do research early so they don’t get discouraged in the booth and leave most of it blank.

Microsoft Ignite 2024 (Chicago Convention Center) paid in-person registrations SOLD OUT n 36hrs. If you missed it, sorry, but there's absolutely no seats available. Not even us field people can "escalate" requests: In-person registrations are over.

The only option right now is virtual which is capped at a limited number of participants. If you want to participate virtually, you need to register ASAP.

"A Gallup survey released this week found that 78% of Democratic-leaning voters say they are more enthusiastic than usual to vote. That nearly matches the record-high numbers recorded in 2008, when then-Sen. Barack Obama rode a wave of voter energy into the White House. By comparison, just 6 in 10 Republicans say they are more enthusiastic than usual—a lower number than around this point in 2020."

Me: I'd like to pay these 3 parking tickets that have gone to "plate denial" pls. They're for my daughter's #car, which I helped her buy, but the #plate #registration address was wrong and they get sent to my address by mistake and I never check my mail. By the time I discovered them they were months overdue. Their total was $200. With late fees its $350.
#DMV: actually _that_ amount was due yesterday. You now owe $586.
Me: uh. ok, can I split that up o/ 2 credit cards?
DMV: no

#emissions ##reduction versus #climate #climatecrisis #adaptation
“In 'Highway to Hell’, leading climate scientist Joëlle Gergis takes aim at the folly of "adaptation” rather than cutting emissions, and at government policy inertia. She shows what rising temperatures will most likely mean for the Australian continent and coastline, and outlines clearly how far Australia is from its most recent promises, let alone what is required.” #registration #books
