Last Week Tonight: Tobacco's Legal Bullies

Beastie Boys Vs. The Muppet's

jimnms says...

I suspected an ad or script block addon doing it, but videosift is whitelisted on those on my desktop browser. Completely disabling them didn't fix it, and my notebook, which runs Linux, has Firefox and the same addons was also doing it. It turns out it was the EFF's Privacy Badger addon doing it, which I only installed a couple of days ago. That's weird since it only blocks 3rd party trackers. I wonder if UMG is trying to pass some kind of 3rd party cookie through the video embed which is setting it off.

It must be something specific to your setup, like perhaps something installed on your computer or in your browser. Have you tried it with another browser?

Charlie Veitch Vs Hugo Boss

overdude says...

I'm sorry, I guess I maybe should have ticked the sarcasm box.

This wasn't a pro-tazer or anti-police comment; I was just thinking that getting to see this eff-tard writhe around in pain (not just via a tazering, but by any effective method) - even if only for a moment or two - would have been more enjoyable/rewarding than anything I saw in the 5 narcissism infused minutes of this video.

That's all. Nothing more. No deep analysis or social commentary was intended.

I'm always surprised when someone is accepting of any use of force, especially when it's so completely uncalled for. The idea that tasers are even 'lawfully' allowed, you could say, shocks me.
There used to be a time when the police would simply explain the law to one side or the other. If he's in the right to film their store, the manager should go back inside and he'll eventually shut the fuck up. If, by some retarded legal standard (which I suspect would be close to reality), retail chains managed to pass a law forbidding members of the public from simply filming their stupid property, the police should just arrest him after he refuses to stop.
No tasers are necessary. Ever. Accepting their use is just climbing on board the lobotomy-wagon like everyone else who allows modern life to slide into the shithole.

Mark Ronson: How sampling transformed music

Trancecoach says...

More than reading this article, I point you towards the commentary on this article which reads:

"This is good, but the problem with reformers who do not want to totally abolish patent and copyright is that their arguments basically amount to "the law has gone too far" (people like Khanna, Tom Bell, Alex Tabarrok, Jerry Brito, Cory Doctorow, Public Knowledge, the EFF, Lawrence Lessig, and so on). That requires an empirical claim as dubious as those of advocates of the current IP regime. The only principled case for IP reform is one that also makes the case for IP abolition."

This, although not specifically stated, this comment demonstrates a preference for rigor when it comes to justifications for any position on any issue. Rationalism allows you take a consistent position based on unchanging principles. Hermeneutics as well as other modes that deal with all issues as a matter of "preference" or bias can seem rather arbitrary and harder to defend through rational argumentation.

Sorry, I missed the part where you actually engaged in a debate.

Let's recap shall we?

You posted a blanket statement about copyright, with no supporting arguments.

I responded with some reasons why I don't think it's that simple.

And you then came back with (to use you new favourite word) an ad hominem.

At no point in this thread have you made a single point or argument, other than linking to a libertarian pamphlet.

Then to top it all off, you seem to think you have the right to tell me to "debate somewhere else".

But it's ok, I have no interest in debating with a petty child like you anyway. I'm done.

David Blaine: Real or Magic with Harrison Ford

chingalera says...

You keep thinking that then if you'd like. As I watched this, when he asked what card he was thinking of I thought to myself 'nine of hearts'- NO SHIT

Somewhere embedded in his technique is the answer to the suggestion
Metaprogrammings' a motherfucker.

Anyone else??

Or wait....Maybe it's simply having seen this before and the 9 of hearts was already there, locked into the folds of the hippo-campus/cerebral cortex highway? Don't recall ever having seen this before...

Either ways...If David Blaine came over, I'd prolly tell him what Han Solo here told him BEFORE he had a chance to mind-fuck me..The difference? It wouldn't be......"ACTING!!!"

Seriously though, y'all really thought that Blaine was being rudely and cruelly ejected from his home?? C'mon people...suspend your disbelief for the sake of your hearts and get over yourselves....all he said was the 'eff' word.

"Next up: Blaine will bury himself in the permafrost of Antarctica in a steaming-hot bubble-bath of human blood and for forty days and forty nights with but a single meal-worm to snack on for the duration. When he rises from his ghoulish and self-imposed sarcophagus he will have drunk all the contents of the bathtub...But first, this commercial interruption to your body's natural vibrations."

Eukelek said:

... obviously a suggestion technique... quite cunning though... He suggests the 9 of hearts constantly somehow and make him only come up with that through suggestion. The rest is simple. I concur, terrible reaction... almost to much, kinda forced...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

It's not really a warrant though is it? This is a good take on it:

I think the US should track and investigate people to the extent that it doesn't violate the constitution. I think they are violating the constitution. So does the ACLU and the EFF https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/06/86-civil-liberties-groups-and-internet-companies-demand-end-nsa-spying

I think American companies that are working in collusion with the NSA should be forced to disclose any information that is being harvested from domestic or overseas customers.

I don't want to hear the phrase "keeping Americans safe" anymore as an excuse for this Orwellian bullshit.

dystopianfuturetoday said:

Do you think that the required warrant necessary for the US to look at your info is not a good enough safeguard?

Do you think the NSA should track people that pose a threat to the US or it's citizens?

Do you think Australia should track people that pose a threat to the country or its citizens?
