โ€œ[T]he court finds that, by reproducing the content of the works (books) in dispute, without the consent of the authors, there has been a violation of the patrimonial copyright of the plaintiffs,โ€ the Court of Appeals added.

You know what else reproduces the content of the works, with or without consent from the authors, a... Monitor. All those filthy pirates using monitors to read their pirated books. ๐Ÿคฎ They should sue the monitor manufacturers. Hell, they should sue Microsoft too, for also reproducing the pirated content and allowing them to hit "save" ๐Ÿ˜ก

Will they sue people who wake up from using the alarm clock because these people would be making money (their job) from the effects of this alarm clock (waking up)?

I'm gonna take a wild guess that the games with high budgets that aren't "selling", are just not selling "enough" to cover the "costs" of the executives. I guess it wasn't much of a guess:

and they're not selling nearly as well as expected," Sweeney said. "Whereas other games are going incredibly strong

Do they think that these other games "going incredibly strong" are making the money they hope to make? They're probably making much less but managing it much better. The savings are almost infinite when you don't approve every executive bonus pay package.

Then Alphabet will come up with a new bullshit idea, "remove the limits for 'trusted' advertisers" so that they can inject more code than allowed as long as they keep paying for their ad "partnership"

"There is not just one bad apple in this bunch," Powers said, adding that most companies who engage in price gouging receive limited consequences.

Because customers generally still have choices to shop at other grocers like Walmart, Thompson said Kroger is unlikely to experience any severe consequences from the FTC.

Despite the fact that this is likely a larger problem in the grocery sector, Ryan said consumers could react swiftly with their wallets.

Yeah, and go to the next grocery store with the same prices and behind-the-scenes policies, and buy the same overprices eggs... But hey, at least they didn't admit to the lie.
