Your favorite copyright attorney Blue Sky user.
I'm told that Microsoft has pulled the DMCA takedown notice it sent to Valve for Allumeria.

Excellent news! Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this happen!

The devs game was flagged by some AI system (is that a thing) and could use a little help to get back onto Steam. Tracer.ai is apparently a company that uses AI to file DMCAs, which never ends well. Boosting this for my game dev friends to help out where they can!
Hello, @jebox.bsky.social . I'm helping Unomelon with the DMCA counter-notice.

It would be just tops if you could get that DMCA pulled.

Our counter-notice means the game is still down for two+ weeks.

If Microsoft pulls the DMCA takedown notice, Allumeria should be back promptly.

Many thanks 🙏

Sure does sound an awful lot like the Sultan was sending videos of people being tortured to Epstein in exchange for videos of kids being abused.

How does that saying go? If I meet God in Heaven, He will need to beg MY forgiveness.

Soooo funny seeing all the MAGAts rag on the Bad Bunny halftime show like you aren't telling on yourself that you did all that grandstanding about boycotting and hosting your own show and then you went and watched Bad Bunny anyways smh.

The brand of Iced Coffee I'm drinking today comes from the German Milch-Union Hocheifel.

3d Cir. holds that habeas corpus petitions challenging immigration detention are "civil actions," so prevailing noncitizens may be entitled to attorneys' fees and costs under the Equal Access to Justice Act.

Gonna be a loooooooooot of these.

Windows won't let me log in, with the correct pin, because of repeated shutdowns.

The shutdowns were from multiple updates being applied to a machine that hasn't been used in a year.

So now Microslop controls whether I am allowed to be productive, even when I have the right credentials.

Crazy.

This week is 81 years since the liberation of Auschwitz.

Survivors are sounding the alarm.

I felt compelled by recent revelations to tell my story, of Dr. Kenneth Bernard Schade, a case involving the exploitation of young boys. Schade victimized members of the Singing Boys of Pennsylvania, served 10 years in prison, and was banned from his church.

Heads up. I know many of y'all are starting to feel the wave of resistance and, definitely, keep that up.

But please, I and many others still predict that it will get worse before it gets better, that the enemy will not go quietly, and you should plan for the worst, even while hoping for the best.

Just as a thought experiment:

At what point do violations of the social contract rise to the level of repudiation of the contract? In other words, if the U.S. executive branch is sufficiently lawless, at what point does the law recognize that the Constitution has been so violated that it is void?

The latest release of the Epstein files only further confirms that the U.S. was taken over by rich pedophiles to protect rich pedophiles.

The worsening situation in America moved me to pick up a guitar again after 20 years.

This is my first protest song, "Crazy". I'll be releasing seven more original tracks over the next few weeks.

It's my first single and my first album.

I hope you enjoy.

So I went to add batteries to my shopping list.

Old school Google assistant added "9 volt batteries" to my shopping list.

Gemini added quantity 9 "volt batteries" to my shopping list.

You can't make me, I'm not going.

BREAKING:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Virginia US attorney Lindsey Halligan, who sought indictments against Trump adversaries, is leaving her position.

The large number of vulnerable people, immigrants, people with immigrants for family, minority groups, churches, who all voted for Trump thinking he would only hurt 'other' people . . .

. . . was not on my Bingo card.

I hope you get the day you voted for, and I feel very sorry for the rest of us.

It really does seem like the Criminal Pedophile is destroying the United States to keep from being imprisoned for being a Criminal Pedophile.

SquareUp.com just tried to upgrade me to a Plus plan without my consent. The sent an email at least. But it opts everyone in to a $49/mo plan without permission. You have to notice, and opt out.

So I noticed. And cancelled my $20/mo plan as well.

There are some terrible words that were used against me as insults when I was a kid. I swore to myself that I'd always be the bigger person and never use those words to insult another. But I'm going to give myself a pass this one time.

My President is retarded.
