    If you say the magic words, laws don’t apply.

    EDIT: I looked up two of these. Theft prevention act? It’s like they’re randomly cutting and pasting parts of laws and in their heads somehow it makes sense.

    I can also randomly pick words from legal documents to say anything I want. But then, every word in this post came from a legal document including the following:

    I now own your house and by having read this post you consent to a transfer of all your assets to me. No signature or confirmation required. No take backs.

    This makes me think of people that add a “copyright” notice at the end of every comment

      “I do not claim ownership of the song used in this video.”

      Good, because you’d be a lunatic if you did, JazzMasterZero, but it doesn’t change the fact that you are still using someone else’s art in your monetized and shittily-edited dog trick compilation video.

      Ugh the ones with the “anti-AI” “licensing”? I honestly don’t know how they expect that to accomplish anything, other than look like a pretentious idiot.

        Any better idea how to prevent scraping or, at least, be able to fight it after the fact?

          For the US: you already have a copyright on everything you write. Adding CC-BY-NC grants others the right to republish it for non-commercial use, it does not remove any rights at all.

    You know, I’m really rooting for these people. They are like Mario 64 speed runners looking for the new speed butt jump glitch. One of them might actually find something worthwhile.

      I agree - I’m just waiting for it to get upheld by the Supreme Court before I get my cardboard license plates too lol

      This can be viewed as soft evidence that we’re not in a simulation. Speedrunners achieve their goals, and do not waste time on unnecessary dialogue.

    My favorite is the “without prejudice” part. That’s the part of the spell that let’s you banish a demon but don’t prevent it from showing back up later.

    Ah yes, let’s reference all of the laws, for which you don’t ascribe, to justify you not ascribing to those laws.

      This is what gets me every time. They quote US laws, but at the same time claim they are not subject to any US laws. How do they decide what laws apply and what laws don’t?

        The same way religions do, willy-nilly.

    What’s really interesting to me is how much time they invest in this stuff. It’s not exactly interesting. And there’s no tangible result for them, other than ending up in court. They do end up having to pay tax or whatever it is they’re trying to dodge.

    What do they get out of it?

    These sovcits obsessed with sticking to the DMV just seem like flat earthers - there’s no actual point to the obsession.

      Yeah, but in exchange for their $500 fine, they get the “moral victory”, they get to feel as persecuted as they want to be (read: “aren’t”), and they get a cool story to share with mayonnaise people on their divorced middle-aged white guy fascist gunnut forums. We all have our hobbies. Mine is Rubik’s Cubes.

    The American colonies declared “All rights reserved” (independence), King George said nope and sent men with guns. The settlers won.

    Let’s see if this sovcit is ready to put her assertion to the test.

    “All Rights Reserved” being displayed is optional, but usually is done if the copyright holder suspects people may unwittingly infringe the reserved rights of their creative work. This person made their’s massive for a reason, because damn that’s a cool list of codes. Anyone got a torrent?

    I really want to know how they think a regular license plate means the vehicle is for hire.
