Protection of copyright or a slight over-reaction?

she has the stupidest brains and stupidester solictor lawyer people ever.

you'dve just paid the $2000 (or $200?) they wanted at first.

the 'fines' have been escalated coz the jurors think shes taking the piss appealing that many tmes.

even the big music folk didnt think it'd go that far.

I love the fact everyone shrank in fear in a 'do not post on that topic, they are watching' stylee.

Interesting article from Charlie Boi on it here, that sums up my feelings.

yeah, but the sistene chapel is copyrighted now. even though its billions of years old.

didnt aa millne's family recently sell winnie the pooh to globalmegacorp disney because aa milnes copyright was going to expire because he'd been dead for 70 year and as long as disneycorp is alive (within reason- they have to keep using it) and making money from it , the milnes would be better off doing that.

the photo / painting of a model as art itself should come under either parody or fair use. if carpark or whatever he's called had better info he couldve pushed that angle.

if copyright was that easy (just feed these rules and the info on said case into some computer and a yes or no answer comes out) then they could do that for everything , murder trials and shit. think of the money owd taxpayer would save.

it doesnt look as easy as it seems.

to me anyroad.
