Comment Google in not the infringer (Score 1) 96

If someone makes a copy of a book and gives it to me, I am not the infringer. If I read the book and note how many times word X occurs near Y (and do some other fancy statistics), I am still not infringing. If I report these statistics or use them in an app, that too is not infringing. That seems pretty clear.

Submission + - No bailout for Corporations - buy stock instead

TD29 writes: No gift or loan of money to Corporations
After the massive tax cut for corporation much of the money was not invested or used to raise workers wages, instead it was used to buy back corporate stock. The stock was bought at very high prices at the end of a long bull market. Now the CEOs, CFOs and directors have seen the value of the stock reduced by half. Time to do two things: 1 Fire the CEOs and CFOs for their stupid strategy and shake up the board of directors. 2 Buy the stock at the reduced prices and sell later when the US can make a profit — there is no need to give the corporations money — let them sell stock to the taxpayers and when this is over the taxpayers can make a profit.
