“We’ve almost got some of their telecommunications cracked; the front end even runs on a laptop!” The Mac that sunk a thousand ships could have been merely clunky product placement, not a bafflingly stupid tech-on-film moment.

“Senator Amidala is in a coma. Even if she recovers, she will never be the same and may not live long.” But no… George had to have his god-damned funeral scene, even if it demanded Simone Biles levels of mental gymnastics to save Carrie Fisher’s most emotionally resonant moment from ROTJ, as well as one of the more intriguing OT lore dumps.

Bonus points if a scene was scripted or filmed and got cut.

    Most Lemmy instances don’t have any sort of licensing grant in their terms of service. So that means that the original author maintains all ownership of their work.

    So technically what these people are doing is granting a license to their comment that allows it to be used for more than would otherwise be allowed by the default copyright protections.

    This is accurate under American copyright law. Usually the reason you don’t maintain copyright on internet posts is because the site you’re posting on reserves the copyright for itself. Not on most Lemmy instances, though.

    Those old Facebook posts with similar language were stupid. Users already gave away the license to Facebook. Cannot give away what you do not have.

      Which law applies though? Because an instance might end in .tv but he doesn’t actually have to be hosted in the TLD associated country.
