My hot take is all abandonware media should legally become file-share friendly after a certain amount of time being out of print, say 15 or 20 years. The original rights holder still maintains copyright, but if they are no longer publishing that work, and therefore no longer making sales, anyone can fileshare it for free in its original form. If the owner then republishes it, it stops being file share friendly. But there have to be caveats, like Nintendo can’t publish 2 copies of an old game every 15 years for like $500 a copy and say it’s still published. It has to be sold at a reasonable price.

It’s not unnecessary here, it’s just wrong.
Anyway, there is only one correct way to use the semicolon and it’s like this: ;)
Has anyone told them that Jesus was brown and middle eastern yet?
Also some of these “protectors of women and girls” have convictions for domestic abuse. They were silent when a white mp was charged with sexual assault. They were silent when a white dj was charged with sexual assault. It’s nothing more than thinly veiled racism. We all know it. If reform Ltd do win the next election, the mask will be off.
They have a point though. Musk did indeed take the US president’s job for a while and was simultaneously living off welfare (gov subsidies for his private businesses). Oh and according to his brother, he’s an illigal immigrant too.
He’s the only example I can think of.
They’d get sick from food poisoning and ketamine overdose.
I think lifetime of original creator is fine. I wrote my first manga in 2010 (it’s crap but still), I don’t think that it should stop being mine in 4 years.
I heard that lifetime + 80 was to stop someone murdering a popular author and, assuming they got away with it, then publishing that work for their own profit. But I don’t know if that’s true.
