And speaking of Hoopolla and stuff.... I just got this email from Blogger... seems like I posted something or a photo or something, that violated some copyright or something.... back in 2009. And they said, "Don't do it again." Now, there was a link that I could go see what little boo-boo I did.... and I might check it out.... someday. ain't no never mind, see, based on how much money I make doing this. hehehe. But I thought it was funny. Gees, "Bad jimm, Bad boy'" I didn't know how important I was.
Anyways.... then I started looking at that map thingee that I put up on the blog... that cluster map thingee, as long as I was looking at the blog. See, I thought it would be fun to see where in the world the folks were coming from... the folks that read this stuff from a copy right infringing bad dude like me. Well I put it up there because it was free and I surely do like that free word. Then I noticed that it didn't change much, the Numbers, and every once in a while I would think of taking it off cause it didn't seem to change and I kinda lost interest anyways and iffen I would try to take it off, see, then I would have to think and figure out how to do it and it was a whole lokt of work, for a guy like me, see, to put it up there in the first place, so mostly I just don't do anything at all about it because wsriting long run on sentence is more funny anyways and if I found out somebody in Pakistan was reading this, why, gosh.... OK and stuff.
nope. Some days I just can't handle much fuss or stuff..... just concentrate on what is good.

Copyright violations are no joke. You can be taken to court and lose a lot of money in the process.
While we're on the topic of copyright, everyone should be EXTREMELY careful about quoting from newspapers. Here's why: http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2011/05/02/32082
Ahab, really appreciate the heads up....still trying to find out what the problem is. Blogger has removed the post... it doesn't appear to be serious.....
Don't you sometimes get the feeling a lot of people who don't do anything and never did actually live off the copyrights they don't deserve? I could care less if somebody grabs a screenshot of one of my pictures and still long for the days when the net was filled with 'free-ware'.
okjimm, Ahab is right about potential consequences if someone wants to get ornery with you. Knowledge of the rules can keep you out of trouble. It can also arm you with facts you need in case someone claims you've done wrong when you haven't.
You can get a straightforward explanation of what's OK from Wikipedia's entry on fair use.
As you might expect, the government copyright office's explanation is more densely legalistic. But it's also worth reading.
Hope you find this helpful and interesting.
ahab is definitely correct. the asswipes are vicious in pursuing bloggers. i wanted to thank ahab, because i hadn't seen the updated list. i had no idea the san jose mercury news was one of the newspapers not to use, and i just spent the last couple of hours deleting everything i copied and pasted from that paper.
Complimentary beer?
Outstanding!
Appreciate all the input... obviously we should all be aware.
PEN... but but I wanted free doughnutz too
I missed that God, damned game on Thursday night because the electric grid got knocked off line by some moron in Yuma, causing 6 million people from Orange County, to San Diego, to the deserts and even Baja California to lose power.
But I was delighted to read that Green Bay won.
Chris.... you missed a great game.... Packers looked really good... Drew Brees looked fantastic, too.
Drew Brees always looks fantastic *wink, wink*.
Yeah, the power outage was a real pain in the butt. When the power came back on, Time Warner didn't come back on until the following morning.
Oh well, 15 more opportunities to watch Green Bay in action.
good news! the asswipes who were coming after bloggers saw most of their lawsuits thrown out of court, and a lot of the newspapers are telling righthaven to shove it.
thank goodness i have commenters who are paying attention to this stuff.
You're all a bunch of piratical buccaneers.
Almost drafted Jordy Nelson, took Marques Colston instead, kind of a tossup. Guess which one has a broken collarbone. Grumble.
Nonnie9999 -- Thank you for those Wired links. Gotta love karma!
