Patreon deliberately does not enforce its rule against copyright infringing content unless forced by a DMCA claim because it makes more money if it lets its users break the law, and can't be held liable due to safe-harbor provisions as long as it feigns ignorance that it's happening.

Sure, this is small potatoes, but here we go.

I've observed that if pressed about a user committing copyright infringement on Patreon, they always say, effectively, "We won't do anything about this unless we receive a DMCA claim from the copyright owner.". Excuse me? The terms of use say "You may not post creations that infringe others' intellectual property or proprietary rights.", not "You may post creations that infringe others' intellectual property or proprietary rights as long as you don't get us sued.".

They're effectively propping up this behaviour for as long as the lawyers don't come knocking on the door even though it's often clearly not legally sound. Why would they do that? Easy. Familiar properties get asses in the seats. If Patreon allows creators to commit copyright infringement because that copyright infringement will draw a crowd that's probably going to pay that creator to keep doing what they're doing, it's win-win. The creator gets paid, and Patreon skims their take off the top, thereby profiting off of it. And as long as the creator never gets noticed by whatever company they're stealing IPs from, they can just keep on doin' it. Even if they do, Patreon's still effectively invincible because the moment the creator gets noticed and Patreon gets the DMCA takedown, all they need to do is say "Oh, I'm so sorry, we didn't know this was happening!" even if they had been informed previously by a third party, no no no, that's not important information at all. They can't go after Patreon as long as Patreon takes down the infringing content, after all. Blame somebody for doing something, it's all their fault, not yours at all for doing nothing to stop them up until the point somebody noticed.

Isn't that messed up?

What does "src usa" mean?

-
You've seen it on the glove Tom Hanx ig post, you've heard about it in the wayfairgate evil if you are on twitter. What does it mean? My guess is "src" is short for "satanic ritual child". "sra" is well documented short for "satanic ritual abuse" Also, the wayfair building has the fmason black and white pattern design on the roof (see photos) which is symbolic for "good vs evil" and can be seen in many of their lodges. One other thing; george soros (who also paid actors to riot and destroy buildings, and also paid to deliver palletsof bricks to said rioters) owns wayfair and is a fmason. submitted by /u/kasseek [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracytheories/comments/hpjq82/what_does_src_usa_mean/

Mark Passio's A.R.K (Amazing Repository of Knowledge) Available For Download

I just found out this had been uploaded online. Usually you would send him a 2TB hard drive and he'd put the ark drive on it free and send it back to you but someone has uploaded it to one drive. I think it's an important resource for everyone in these times of abhorrent censorship. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AEtU9hlXH01zOFg&id=A0C5EBFDBB29ECFC%21104&cid=A0C5EBFDBB29ECFC From Mark's site: "I have been online since the days before the World Wide Web became popular. Since that time, I began collecting, studying and archiving information about our world and the events that have been occurring in it. I never left it to chance that information I came across during my search would always be available online. So, whenever I found something that I thought was worthwhile, I downloaded it and backed it up offline. As you can imagine, this much data archiving would result in an enormous amount of material. Quite frankly, it would be hard for me even to desc...

If there is a Marek's disease scenario due to the leaky vaccine being promoted, that will mean every human will need a shot or will die

-
This scares the pants off of me, the more I think about it. Basically what happened is chickens had this disease called Marek's disease that caused tumors but wasn't usually fatal. In 1970 they invented a leaky vaccine (one that didn't prevent infection but only lessened symptoms). What resulted was a mutation of Marek's disease that now KILLS EVERY SINGLE CHICKEN WHO GETS IT. The vaccinated chickens are able to maintain a high viral load while being healthy, enough to quickly kill an unvaccinated bird. So if you own chickens, and they're going to be in contact with other chickens, you HAVE to vaccinate them or they can die easily. From a disease that was originally a nothingburger, but is now super deadly because of this leaky vaccine. Read the related wiki entry to understand the science better: The first Marek's disease vaccine was introduced in 1970. The disease would cause mild paralysis, with the only identifiable lesions being in neural tissue. Mort...
