Most editing software can blur faces. Problem solved.

Agreed.

Yup.

OK see maybe you need to go to school and learn how law works. You can’t have punishments vary based on the merit of the victim.

Here it’s Target, a rich company, somewhere else it’s a private citizen being stolen from, or a small family business, or a charity. The punishment as a deterrent needs to be based on the act alone, and not your personal lack of sympathy for the victim.

Sorry but the real world doesn’t treat law the way you seem to think.

Just don’t buy the cheap pieces of crap at the checkout counter at 7Eleven, or the ones from China that are 25¢ per dozen on Amazon, and you’re probably okay. Get a recognized brand one on sale or closeout etc.

I don’t think they want to publicize every aspect, since this would likely give a distasteful kind of vibe. Doesn’t mean they don’t do it. I’m not saying they do, but not including it in an exposé is not exactly conclusive that it’s false. Am I making sense?

Yea it contributes to widen the conversation so, yeah not a direct answer, but it has value in this kind of forum. I’m cool with it.

If it’s consecutive incidents of the same transgression it think it’s seen as a spree, like one crime carried out in pieces. It makes sense from a legal reasoning point of view.

Not for nuthin’ but I’d subscribe to that channel!

Jeez. In that case it wasn’t someone poor just trying to get by, she was running a business. She sold the merchandise.

Does anyone else feel like 3 years is way too lenient? That kind of greedy shit should send the person away for like a decade.

I initially misunderstood also. He didn’t mean tv service he meant an actual tv.

Unless he didn’t and everyone else misunderstood.

It’s the Rent-A-Center demographic they’re targeting, my friend.

Once upon a time I’m pretty sure all Brother printers were manufactured by Lexmark. That was back when Brother’s flagship products were their label makers. Which are still terrific. I have one that I still occasionally use.

But I think at some point it changed? Not sure. Most people I have known that had Brother printers would always say they were fine, satisfactory. A nice mid-range and mostly reliable product.

Hah reminds me of back around turn of the century, my company - for some reason - had a subscription to PC World. I started to notice a trend and did an experiment by following and charting two things: their product reviews/ratings, and their advertising.

Not all that many major brands back in that day so there would be an edition of the mag where multiple ads could be found in one issue, from the same company.

Anyway, it turned out that in the reviews of Graphics Controllers, Modems and other peripherals, every month - consistently - the winning pick among the products reviewed just happened to be the brand that spent the most on advertising in that issue! I tracked it across around 6-7 issues, and you’d see literally the same group of products sometimes, and yet different “winners” different months haha. What a joke.

Why would anyone ever buy those extortion machines?? I mean, I guess only the completely ignorant consumers who buy printers in stores and ask “sales” agents for advice. But other than them? Fuck every last one of them.

I think, in an instant.

lol gotta love it “we take copyright very seriously” haha no you fucking don’t, you take negotiating leverage very seriously.

Meanwhile, every salty sailor who long ago gave up on the notion that these giant companies will ever play fair, already has every version of every performance they like, and if there’s something missing, can get it easily without having to rely on the likes of YouBoob “allowing it.” We started making our own rules long ago after being fucked for the thousandth time.

Well yeah Republican do tend to be morons. Good point.

Like they’re so smart?

Fucking Borat tricked plenty of them.

You know all you’re donating to is to keep funding kids sitting in yeshivas so they can get indoctrinated to become Hasidic leeches off society. That’s where it actually goes.
