@Rhywden It's not like Disney's going to be that worried about the box office income: pirated or not, millions will still flock to the cinema to see it

If the pirates don't give it back to them, there might not be a box office income.
edit: uh, maybe not. I think I'm getting crossover from all the crypto ransomware discussion... when it said "holding for ransom" I assumed that meant they needed it back, not just that they wanted it not leaked... (if anything, that would probably just help its popularity)

Do you really think Disney doesn't have backups of what's likely to be a box office hit?

The fact that you believe that they're in breach of contract -- a civil matter -- does not grant your right to trespass -- a criminal one.
Trepass to chattels is a criminal offense in the US?!
-
@LaoC In the US, the cops can't arrest someone unless they've been credibly accused of a criminal offense, and we rather enjoy having it that way.
If trespassing was not a criminal offense, you wouldn't be able to call the cops to have them remove a trespasser from your property. They wouldn't be able to touch the person if he wasn't committing any criminal offense.
Anyway, trespass is only a criminal offense if you've been ordered to disembark yourself from their property and if you refuse to do so. ("No trespassing" signs do count, as long as they're reasonably well visible to anyone who might be coming onto your property.)

Not exactly true. If it were, stop and frisk wouldn't be legal.

I don't think it should be, since it seems like illegal search and seizure to me, but here we are with it not (yet) being declared illegal despite a lot of outcry over it and it having been ongoing for several years.

To look at it another way: Do you think the people engaged in implementing the stop and frisk policy will ever be punished or held accountable by a court for it? If not, then for now it's legal.

Is sex-ed that poor in the UK that you need to import a Belgian?
The teenagers she taught defined good sex as “you make love to a girl and you cum on her face”.
It isn't?
Also ... it's a lot harder then the professionals make it look like ... I kept having to pay for the hairdressers.

Short version: 7 month old boy was only fed 'alternative' milk. When he got sick his parents went to a homeopath. Who send them to A&E where the little boy died of malnutrition. Parents are now put on trial.

@anotherusername Bah. Why does anyone still care a bean about those ridiculous movies?
Bold words from a guy who was excited to see Guardians of the Galaxy.
-
@boomzilla At least Guardians of the Galaxy you know will be ridiculous.
Then again, you can say the same about Pirates of the Caribbean
-
@RaceProUK Yeah. I mean...I want to watch Guardians and not Pirates, personally, but I'm not some kind of movie bigot who looks down his nose on people who want to watch different movies than I do.
Unless we're talking about japanimation stuff. That's inexcusable.

A mere one and a half years in prison is the maximum that they could get for homicide? Even if it's considered negligent homicide, that's the maximum?
And worse, they are
the proprietors of an alternative health food shop
which means they (presumably) ought to know about nutrition, and they're in an authoritative position where they're likely to have customers relying on that presumed knowledge...
-
@anotherusername said in In other news today...:

Alternative health, like alternative facts?
-
@Luhmann said in In other news today...:
They risk 18 months in gaol.
So, someone else out there uses that spelling too...
-
@anotherusername said in In other news today...:
is the maximum that they could get for homicide?
No, in the Flemish version of the article it's clearer that they demand a lighter sentence then maximum allowed because of 'circumstances'. And yes it would be more inline with 'homicide by neglect'.
@anotherusername said in In other news today...:
which means they (presumably) ought to know about nutrition
Or that they are nutcases.
-
@Luhmann then the English version is plainly incorrect, because it says 18 months is the maximum sentence, not just a light sentence that they're angling for.
The parents are standing trial for deliberately refusing to feed their child resulting in his death. They risk 18 months in gaol.
If 18 months was actually a "demand" that the accused parents have set, does that actually mean that the trial can't result in them getting any more time than that? The time that they risk is the maximum sentence that could be imposed.
-
@anotherusername Um... the article doesn't state 18 months is the maximum, not even in English. All it says is 'they risk 18 months', with no clue whether that's the maximum or not.
-
@RaceProUK Saying "they risk x" implies that the sentence can be up to x, but not exceeding it. In other words, it's the maximum.
It would not be correct to only say that they're risking 18 months when there's a nonzero risk that they could get, say, 2 years. If a possible outcome from the trial was that they could get anywhere up to 2 years, then it'd be correct to say that they'd be risking 2 years.

Yes, but that's not the joke.

Create a window.
Show the window.
Notice nothing gets shown and no error logs.
Spend hours googling/debugging and finally create a second object of type “bg” (background) with the window as parent and then show the window.

@anotherusername
It is the what the DA is asking. It is not the maximum because the judge can up it to the maximum allowed by the law. Small chance but the judgesame are not bound by the initial demand.
