More crime is committed in the making of media than in pirating it.

Also more wrongdoing against society and the public that the justice department couldn't be bothered with (so doesn't count as crime).

Pirate it all or don't watch it.

The fifth circuit believes regional monopolies should be exploited to control consumers.

With proper competition, banning someone for suspected misuse would only chase them to competitors.

The fifth circuit is incompetent.

I pronounced it like cayenne pepper until someone corrected me. But I learn a lot of words from reading them before hearing them. HEJeeMOHnee.

Related, Celtics (soft C) are a basketball team, Celts are a ethnic demographic and a Selt is an ancient kind of knife.

Until I was 24 or 25 I believed that women were disinterested in sex, and that sexual relationships were wholly transactional. I also thought I was hidiously undatable.

Nope. Wrong on all counts.

Someone please tell me that if we stop Trump, Musk shouts NO IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY! and then spontaneously, melts, or shatters like glass, or gets swallowed up by a chasm, or eaten by hyenas.

And then every cybertruck, every tesla, every Spacex capsule and every Starlink satellite simultaneously turns into magic dust before evaporating into nothing.

The ownership class will tremble before a communist revolution! We have nothing to lose but our chains!

Because religious fanatics have been fighting over controlling access to the holy sites for centuries now, and show no sign of slowing down.

Making the place an exclusion zone would devalue those sites, except for the most determined.

Wikipedia has its own problems, especially now since it's an excepted fast source, companies and vips often will hire a team to manage their Wikipedia presence, specifically to eliminate controversial and problematic history. If you know anything exciting about the Kellogg family or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or, heck of J. P. Morgan (who was a walking human atrocity) you'll find their Wikipedia pages scant of details, and sometimes almost hagiographic.
