Then seal arrest records six months after a person leaves custody.

A knowingly false DMCA claim is perjury. A copyright owner that cries wolf with the big megaphone of the DMCA could be looking at doing hard time.

Stupid.

If you offer your copyrighted work for download for free what possible complaint can you have against anyone who takes you up on that offer unless they redistribute via other methods or sites? Peer-peer nature of torrents excluded of course, since they knowingly uploaded knowing full well that peer-peer partial transfers would occur from each torrent downloader...

They should lose all exclusive right and the holdings of the copyright to any of the content they willfully made available for download.

When people find skills they are jealous of, they often try to discourage it and cover it up with phrases like:

* Don't you have a life?
* What a nerd
* You have too much time on your hands
* There has GOT to be a better use of your knowledge and skills
* There's something wrong with you

Ignore those critics and do what you want anyway. Your life will be better for it.

That's nice. It would be cool if you actually developed a skill instead of just pretending on the internet.

Sometimes people do things for fun........not because they want to please internet critics.

I think the idea is that too many Carols and Bob ought to lose the right to cry wolf against Alice.

metaprogramming is like functional programming in these senses:

1) Uses lots of recusion
2) Has no variables, only constants. Nothing is mutable.
3) Has functions

Because of 1 and 2, it helps to think in terms of functional programming if you want to do anything substantial.

No, the syntax is the entire thing wrong with C++ metaprogramming. It clearly wasn't designed for things like this. To clear up any doubt about the syntax, check out this file. In addition the inscrutable error messages (although those have improved over the past decade). If anyone likes template metaprogramming, I suggest they just use LISP.

That said, this project is really cool. Nice hack mattbierner.

...copyright strikes from a game's publisher against a league for broadcasting the league's matches.

That's the one big difference between physical sports and electronic sports: electronic sports are almost always non-free. See "Why Nintendo can legally shut down any Smash Bros. tournament it wants" by Kyle Orland.

I just explained that. In professional sports, no entity has a government-granted exclusive right that lets it act as a gatekeeper for that sport. MLB has no power to prohibit another league unaffiliated with MLB from forming, playing baseball, and selling tickets to watch the match or stream matches on Twitch. Nor did the USFL and XFL need the NFL's permission to commence operations. Broadcast a video game, on the other hand, and expect a copyright strike.

There's a difference. Activision Blizzard owns the exclusive rights to its games and has shown itself eager to enforce them (as in the bnetd case). Publishers of fighting games have been known to demand public performance royalties from tournament organizers or even to deny a license entirely and shut down a tournament's stream. I can fetch citations from Ars Technica and elsewhere if you want. By contrast, nobody owns the exclusive rights to baseball. Leagues like MLB can't ban people from baseball; they can only ban people from playing on MLB teams or MLB-affiliated minor league teams. Baseball leagues independent of MLB have existed and continue to exist.

They weren't extermination camps, but they weren't "sit around and play card matching game all day" camps either. Perhaps we can split the difference and call them "detainment with criminally inadequate nutrition and enrichment" camps.
