• On the post: U.S. Appeals Court Affirms Disney Win Against Evel Knievel Estate Over Toy Story Character

  Evil

  Evel Knievel was a jerk anyway. hile Knievel was healing from injuries sustained from the Chicago jump, the book Evel Knievel on Tour was released. Written by Knievel's promoter for the Snake River Canyon jump, Shelly Saltman, the book painted an unflattering picture of Knievel's character, alleging that he abused his wife and children and used drugs. Knievel, with both arms still in casts, flew to California to confront Saltman, by then a VP at 20th Century Fox. Outside the studio commissary, one of Knievel's friends grabbed Saltman and held him, while Knievel attacked him with an aluminum baseball bat, declaring "I'm going to kill you!" According to a witness to the attack, Knievel struck repeated blows at Saltman's head, with Saltman blocking the blows with his left arm. Saltman's arm and wrist were shattered in several places before he fell to the ground unconscious. It took numerous surgeries and permanent metal plates in his arm for Saltman to regain the use of his arm. Saltman's book was withdrawn by the publisher after Knievel threatened to sue. Saltman later produced documents in both criminal and civil court that proved that, although Knievel claimed to have been insulted by statements in Saltman's book, he and his lawyers had actually been given editorial access to the book and had approved and signed off on every word prior to its publication. On October 14, 1977, Knievel pleaded guilty to battery and was sentenced to three years' probation and six months in county jail. After the Saltman assault and subsequent jail time, Knievel lost his marketing endorsements and deals, including Harley-Davidson and Ideal Toys. With no income from jumping or sponsorships, Knievel eventually declared bankruptcy. In 1981, Saltman was awarded a $13 million judgment against Knievel in a civil trial, but he never received any money from either Knievel or Knievel's estate.

  How would they enforce this?

  The amount of resources, energy, time and money needed to prosecute this would make it untenable. Are they going to divert law enforcement and court system away from real crimes to prosecute what might amount to "he said, she said"?

  Why does it matter what I am fine or not fine with? Does China care about how I vote? What can I do with my "caring"? I recognize there is literally NOTHING I can do about it.

  Makes no sense

  The Hong Kong army is the Chinese army...they are not an independent nation.

  And how is that working out for them?

  Who is enforcing this law? The British? They literally stole the land so they could once again, deal drugs...it wasn't altruistic. So you're fine with it if China revokes their special status, because then it's not a "law"? What's your point?

  Hong Kong is china

  It always has been except when the Brits took it so they could deal opium. I'm not defending China in general, but Hong Kong is part of China. They have no obligation to keep it the way it was. The USA never kept any of their treaties with Native Americans, I'm sure the British empire broke plenty too. But stop with this "China isn't treating Hong Kong properly" nonsense. Do you want us to Invade China? Otherwise what do you expect us to do?

  Why should the police care? The money won't come out of their pockets. Only the taxpayers suffer.

• On the post: White House Urges Companies To Protect Data From Russian Hacks With Encryption; While Congress Looks To Effectively Outlaw Encryption

  

  jordanchandler ( profile ), 23 Mar, 2022 @ 01:42pm

  Speech

  Couldn't encryption be seen as a type of protected speech? if you speak to a friend in a language the police don't understand while being listened in on, are you committing a crime? No. If I send a letter to a friend in a code I created and don't provide the government a code, am I breaking the law? Can the government mandate I provide a backdoor to private communication be inferred as compelled speech?

• On the post: No, Creating An NFT Of The Video Of A Horrific Shooting Will Not Get It Removed From The Internet

  

  jordanchandler ( profile ), 24 Feb, 2022 @ 03:14pm

  to be honest...

  His desire for the video not to be ever shown again is pretty irrelevant. It happened, it was an actual event, and taking it down won't make it unhappen.

  It should be available for view for historical and journalistic purposes. So while I feel for his loss, his irrational crusade to delete reality gets no consideration.

  If they were smart...

  If they had been smart they could have just found her name, and then used good old fashioned police work to try and link her to it without the DNA.

  I wouldn't even call that fruit from a poisoned tree. Just don't use the DNA at all, but a parallel investigation.

  of course

  Of course when I pointed out the blatant corruption, allowing the games to be hosted by places like Russia and China, etc etc I was a negative nancy that hates sports and athletes.

  Of course it's fine to sacrifice 15 years olds to the Olympics gods as long as it's good entertainment right?

  F the Olympics.

  What does return documents mean, legally?

  Since documents are electronic, one cannot return it. The people who provided it still have it. Assuming these documents have been read, analyzed, and the knowledge used, legally, what does a return mean?

  What if they printed them out and send them back with a "here ya go" note?

  British Empire

  When they had the empire they had zero issue massacring innocents and literally taking all their shit. They currently have a museum dedicated to the stuff they stole.

  How are we supposed to take them seriously now?
