Agreed. I stopped eating mammals 20+ yrs ago due to this, am down ~50% on dairy, have a local egg guy where I can see the hens running freely at least, try to get cage free poultry…

I'm going to be visiting within about an hour or two of NYC and Philadelphia (and with friends in Boston, so easy to get/stay there) for three weeks from mid December through the f…

It's been proven mathematically that any sentence that begins with, "Wouldn't it be better If Wikipedia had ads than [X]" has the property that it doesn't matter what X is, the ans…

But presumably you also don't have the money to buy the advertised goods that they would make their money off of if it were ad-generated revenue (unless it were goods that you had …

Are you thinking of the LLC to hide your identity? I don't think that will work--the LLC is a legal structure that has your name linked to it in the state that is registered in. It…

I was late to read that when I read it in 1984!

"Copying" and "almost identical": No. Lame. "Adapting" and "significantly different": Yes. Reasonable.

I don't think your clear statement means anything, legally. What matters is the name similarity. If a soda company was called Pepsee and then stated, "We are not Pepsi, a registere…

If you no longer have any more problems at all , sounds like you are either the next generation of humankind or you aren't pushing things enough. I suspect it's the latter.

Happy to oblige. I look forward to the Perez Hiltification of the forum...

It's not that my time and reading effort is so valuable (it isn't). It's that news forums are as valuable as they are curated to be on topic. With your argument, everyone could jus…
