Why Does Everyone In Netflix's Cowboy Bebop Talk Like That? "Welcome to the ouch, motherfucker."

You may be the only one who didn't. In general, it was not well received. This was the overall take. www.vice.com/en/article/w...

OTOH, the One Piece live-action was adored.

In other news, the studio that did both the Cowboy Bebop and One Piece live-actions is apparently making a Samurai Champloo live-action. This is the most mixed a resume can be.

True, but as we're discussing wordsmithing, I decided to leave 106(a) off to the side.

I believe the question was about the timing of death versus copyright term circa post-78 of pre-78 works.

Also valid.

The US, more explicitly than other countries, ties copyright to economic incentive.

It's why "moral rights," as in "I created it so I get to say what you can do with it above and beyond the bounds of copyrights," doesn't exist for us.

I call that a net good (though not everyone agrees).

I'd still call that incentive, though, especially in light of the US's constitutional basis for copyright.

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."

I really, really want to do more of this. It feels like carving out a small, strange, safe space.

I hate this so much because there is no, and has never been any, demand to impose sharia law in this country.

On the other hand, we do have religious extremists currently stealing our freedom and those guys should stop.

I think we lost the ability to assume that a decade ago.

This latches on to something I've had in my backbrain for a while.

Anthropic is the company.

AnthroP/C is an alternative spelling for half of @ass.golf's characters.

I dug into this and it gets weirder in that the prize for winning the pageant appears to be 60 million dollars

Total played: I don't even know what this is asking. But I've played...a lot. All of 1-10, 12, the 7 remakes and various spinoffs...yeah that's good.

Sort of like when I was at MLB, being a fan of baseball was fine, but being a die-hard obsessive of one club was not a good idea...

Hey, so we're about a week away from learning if I'm going to have to rent goats and film them taking over my garden because I lost a bet.

There is still time for you to preorder this book to make sure I lose.

I am VERY DIVIDED about this, believe me.
