How dupes turned online shopping upside down
Getting copied is devastating — but not necessarily illegal. Who owns what in an era of unprecedented mass consumption?

New from me: The internet is built on sameness. People hawk the same stuff, use the same music, write the same SEO articles. Now the aesthetics and modes of the web have escape into the real world.

![Specifically, on or about May 28, 2025, the Cleveland Guardians played an MLB game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The game began at approximately 1:10 p.m.
Before the game, at approximately 1:00 p.m., Bettor-1 sent a text message to the defendant EMMANUEL CLASE DE LA CRUZ confirming whether CLASE was, "[a]ll set." CLASE responded, "[yjes." At approximately 3:36 p.m., in the middle of the game, Bettor-1 and Bettor-2 each placed wagers totaling approximately $4,000 (including a parlay bet) that a pitch thrown by CLASE would be a Ball/HBP. CLASE threw a pitch that appeared to be a ball, but the batter swung, resulting in a strike and leading Bettor-1 and Bettor-2 to lose their wagers.
28. Approximately 20 minutes after Bettor-I lost the wager on May 28, 2025,
Bettor-1 sent a text message to the defendant EMMANUEL CLASE DE LA CRUZ-a gif image of a man hanging himself with toilet paper. Even though the Cleveland Guardians won the game, approximately 10 minutes later, CLASE responded to Bettor-1 with a gif image of a sad puppy dog face.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fctau3eedws5cdrvnv4k6n2q/bafkreih2vgl2nl37o5f5wfldumrq32j4c3izcvfsjzzsueo752r7vdu2hu@jpeg)

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.
