This is allowed because the DMCA sucks. It specifically calls out that circumventing copy protection is a violation. This also means that any company that adds protection also is able to effectively deny your right to make a backup copy.

This doesn't apply to physical goods where ownership actually has meaning.

    Bars have more taps with IPAs than stouts or porters. It's not a grand conspiracy against non-IPA beer, it's because IPAs sell better. Retail business doesn't waste significant space on products that don't sell quickly.

    Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

    • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

    This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

    Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

     

    Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

    Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

    The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.
