The entirety of the internet is unusable without ad blockers.

The engineers that work there certainly aren’t going to stage a coup.

What engineers? Musk fired all of them when he first started.

If buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing.

Q: How does Snoop answer the phone?

A: I’ll make the song.

90-minutes, 20-hours? I know it’s a joke, but everything about this infographic infuriates me on a technical level.

Yep, we already beat that dead IP into the ground, so let’s do it for another one!

Konami died the moment they fired Kojima and embraced the god of pachinko machines.

Chris Roberts is still rich, and could probably retire right now without worrying about anything. He could tank the company, and he wouldn’t care.

The sad part is that most of the whales aren’t actually that rich…

Right, but when companies go after pirated games, they are going after them because of copyright, not patents or trademarks. The way copyrights are enforced and the way the law works is a lot different than how it works with patents and trademarks.

There is no “use it or lose it” clause for copyrights. If somebody is breaking copyright, you still have the right to enforce it for a long as the copyright is still valid, and don’t have to vigorously defend it to keep it.

American IP law

That’s WB in a nutshell.

They just put out a Smash Bros competitor with a ton of characters, voice acting, looked like it had a lot of promise.

…and it’s free-to-play. Which means it’s loaded with microtransactions.
