At the time of his suicide, Hitler's official place of residence was in Munich, which led to his entire estate, including all rights to Mein Kampf, changing to the ownership of the state of Bavaria. As per German copyright law, the entire text is scheduled to enter the public domain on January 1, 2016, 70 years after the author's death.[19] The copyright has been relinquished for the Dutch and Swedish editions and some English ones (though not in the US, see below).

In Canada, We have Indigo Books, Indigo Books also runs Chapters bookstores, Coles Books, Worlds Biggest bookstore, Indigospirit, SmithBooks and The Book Company. It's the biggest chain in Canada, practically a monopoly, but not quite. It's our equivalent to Amazon books combined with Barns & Noble in the US, in fact, Amazon even owns stock in the Canadian book chain. It also retains a 57.7% share in Kobo Ink. (968.9 Million in yearly Sales.)
Heather Reisman, Indigo's CEO and owner banned "Mein Kampf" from all the stores. Although not casual reading material, Mein Kampf is required reading in quite a few university and college's. It's an important book for historians and students of history and politics.
You can find critiques of the work in her stores but not the book itself. Heather herself has, admittedly, never read the book. Being Jewish, she sites it as hate literature and doesn't want anyone to see it.
Heather's stance is that she is not Banning the book, she just doesn't carry it. It just so happens she doesn't have any competition. (other than college book stores and few straggling independants)
So my point is, if she is blocking this historical book, which other publications is she blocking? And what can we do, when the book stores filter the books we can see?

Out of curiosity, if someone were to buy Mein Kampf, where does the money go? Who publishes it? Or would it be in the public domain now?

I like the German(?) word for beanbag chair (from the source file name): Leenbakker.
Leen Bakker is a Dutch\Belgian furniture store, but the German term for "beanbag chair" is still awesome: "sitzsack".

I don't understand. Why is this newsworthy.
Isn't she from Africa, wouldn't that be her native tongue?
Or are people somehow shocked that there are white people in Africa?



Not all white people in South Africa are of Dutch decent.
And not all Dutch people in South Africa still speak Afrikaans.
And she's hot.

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

Yeah, I think this is Canadianese. We've come a long way since those wooden dutch clogs shoved in factory cogs.>> ^Fantomas:

Well, he is Canadian.

I like how Dutch cursing sounds exactly like English cursing.

Thanks!

For anyone who's curious, that's Dutch! (And a few of the profanities were more vulgar than their translations).

It should be stated that Brussels is an entirely different culture from the rest of Belgium. Brussels is surrounded by Flanders, where they all speak Dutch, but once you go into Brussels, it really is a different culture (not only ethnically, but also linguistically - French is spoken in Brussels instead of Dutch). Brussels has very large Moroccan and Turkish populations (~26%), which are machismo cultures on steroids.

You're correct. I meant to write "Full Scale Replica," but there weren't enough character-spaces in the title available. I've fixed the title (sans space) to reflect the change.>> ^spoco2:

The title is misleading. Bu saying 'scale replica' it makes it sound like it's not full size, but rather partial scale.
Saying 'full size' would make more sense.

Staged? Maybe. (Probably?)
Fake? I'm not so sure.
If you were going to fake it, I'd think you'd change the name of the crane operator to avoid liability issues. Beelen (the name on the crane and the banner on the fence) is a Dutch demolition company.

I'm having a difficult time identifying the livery on the bus, but I think it's noteworthy that it's been stripped of anything that might identify it. Beyond that, it almost looks like the top edge has already been damaged even before the block drops on it.
The guy in green in the parking lot in the background seems entirely unfazed by the proceedings.
And yes, I do think it's also noteworthy that the video was posted to YouTube with comments disabled.
