What was false? Yes, you can obviously form an opinion about something immediately after you've watched it. That's not what was stated. I said you that cannot criticize UNDER FAIR USE in this manner. Streaming a copy of the content to your viewers through a "watch party", and criticizing it, is not covered by fair use. This is exactly the same as renting a movie, streaming it, and then making some comments.

Fair Use effectively allows you to reference the original work to illustrate or show the subject of your critique (or any other covered use). You're not referencing anything if you haven't seen it before. The Fair Use doctrine does not cover playing copyrighted work that you simply intend to criticize.

Immigration to the UK skyrocketed right after Brexit. We're talking 4 or 5 times more immigrants entering the UK, mostly unskilled. What do you mean by reducing visas and Immigration? Have you not seen the news lately either? Immigration and policing have become such a huge problem that nationalists are beginning to march and even riot in some cases over their immigration problem. Brexit is a democratic movement. The conservative party was against it.

They did the opposite of what Trump is doing and they're in shambles. I don't understand your point.

Trade and Tarrifs have been a success under Donald Trump as well. It sounds like he's on the right track for immigration too. You're literally complaining about how bad things are in the UK due to immigration policies and Trump is doing the opposite. Just say'n. Sounds like you agree with his policies.

Going to bathroom or physically leaving the stream for extended periods while the copyrighted video continues to play on their stream is not a form of commentary. The video is kept playing specifically so that their viewers can continue to watch the copyrighted work.

And when Denims tells her viewers to watch Ethan's video on her stream so that he does not get the views, I think it's pretty hard to argue that as a form of critique over the video. That's exactly what copyright infringement is meant to protect against.

Streaming a video in real time is also different because you cannot possibly criticize a copyrighted work under fair use if you have not even watched it. This plays a very large part in his lawsuit.

3 books a year? I haven't read a book in nearly 15 years, and it was required for college. There are many things that you can do to waste time, and reading doesn't seem like an interesting choice.

Why would I want to spend all day reading at work, and then go home and proceed to read for "fun"? Even just 3 books a year seems like that'd be performed by someone who REALLY loves to read.

Huh? It's the opposite of what you say.

Teachers aren't allowed to criticize students or even physically discipline them. Meanwhile, the bar for graduating keeps getting lowered by the education system. Books from the 1800, 1900, etc... are being even more scrutinized for being politically incorrect. That is the complete opposite to what you'd see prior to the 21st century.

I don't see your address, photo or contact details in your comment. Did you answer your own question, or are you still wondering as you've stated? I know it's hard, but truly think about it and I'm sure you can come up with the answer.

It only seems like I'm triggered to you because you're the subject of ridicule.... I'm sure you understand how laughably stupid your comment is by now since you hadn't even addressed the ridicule. Trust me, everyone thinks you're a moron for that post lol.

Please provide us all with your contact details and photo. Your home address would be nice too. I'd like to post how stupid you are on some social media sites for making such a dumb comment. I'd also like to make fun of your clear mental disability. Don't worry, if you give me your social accounts too, I'll block you specifically from being able to see it.

If you don't want to, then why not??? Why would any of that bother you???

I'm pretty sure that you can answer your own question if you think really really really hard.

Comment So, what have they said about Apple and Google? (Score 1) 20

Every OS comes pre-installed with a browser. So why is Microsoft singled out?

I don't see how Opera can make this argument anymore. People are literally installing Chrome on Windows and use it more than Edge. If it's an unfair advantage, then wouldn't the most widely-used browser on Windows be Edge instead of a 3rd party browser that users download and install separately? And we're not talking about a small difference in market share.

Why should a company offer an OS, and then have a bunch of competitor software included? They aren't blocking 3rd party browsers... There is a reason that Android is free and the cost of the entire Windows operating system is the same price as a few video games.
