Comment Dear, SLASHDORT READER (Score 0) 46

I couldn't help but noticed you were unemployed. AMAZON.COM is hiring, GAME DEVELOPERS, right now! Of course, if you wanted to obtain a fine job at a company like, AMAZON.COM, you COULD TRY a job listing board like the one at dice.com! It has plenty of jobs that would fit perfectly for a, SLASHDORT READER, like yourself!

Well if he'd reported it, wouldn't he or someone had to pay taxes on it? What would you tax blackmail payments under? Capital gains, I'd imagine. He was probably just trying to avoid getting dinged for taxes on top of his blackmail. Speaking of which, why aren't they also charging him with tax evasion, or would that be the guys he was paying? Maybe they got their blackmail payments and properly filed their capital gains taxes against them...

If a court decided that it was a different work (IE: Not derivative of the original piece) and you make an exact copy of that piece then yes, that's copyright infringement. If it's so different that you'd never have had that idea on your own, even if all the component pieces are your photos, the arrangement of them is not. If the piece is so similar that you could accidentally replicate it by, say, printing your photos on one page or some shit, then the original court would likely have not found the piece to be sufficiently different to warrant its own copyright protection. God, I'm not even a lawyer and that seems clear to me.

If you find it creepy that they keep your photos around forever, just disable the auto-backup feature in your android settings. I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that most default camera apps I've used over the years don't allow you to specify the external SD card as the location that pictures are stored.
