A comment on Alpha Gaming's discussion of copyright, relating to recent DCMA activity on the streaming site Twitch: "Why I Started My Own Record Label" Photo by mali maeder from Pexels I'm surprised you didn't say anything about Creative Commons licensing (a specific kind of "some rights reserved" licensing similar to MIT and GPL), which uses all the proper legalese to prove those promises that you made regarding the music on your own label - and because all CC licenses are legally unrevokable, any rights a redistributor has to the music will only expand over time.

I love animals, but I feel like it’s so sad that people seem to care more for a dog than for a child in our era. Thanks for reminding me there is some human love still out there—as a mom in a very childless area, it is a nice (and a needed) reminder❤️ Children definitely are the future, and making sure they have secure food, housing, and healthcare does so much to make sure they grow up educated and able to think critically. But individual organizations can only do so much - they have such a limited reach - it's not as helpful to give a child a burger if he already has a sandwich, but the child who hasn't eaten since they left school the day before will benefit from either option. Instead, a single-payer system can redistribute funds from one area of the country to somewhere completely different based on area need. If you frame paymen
