AsakiyumeNino never had to be cajoled or threatened or bribed to practice violin. He picked up the battered music shop rental instrument as if it were a rare butterfly, set it at his chin, and #scraped the bow across it day after day, practicing the Minuet in G. Musicians were summoners. Right now he was a novice, a beginner, and could summon only this angular, screeching thing, but with practice one day he would call the light, dancing creature the teacher had modeled for him.
Toni AittoniemiMy #model, whitepaper if you may, for managing copyright compensation in real-time for AI agent-based economies.
This model is needed to guarantee future generations an open public space where people come to show their publications, not a world where productivity is hidden behind closed doors in fear of being #scraped.
The model is public-enabled #market, by which total market turnover would greatly multiply relative to the cost.

Ra_ZimSquirrel is rather persistent in fights. Perhaps too much so. He got into a fight with an alpha arcanine and proceeded to get bit around his midsection. So now he's recovering and rather bored!

Chuck Darwin👉United States v. Price 👈deals with the 🔸federal ban on knowingly possessing a firearm with a removed or obliterated serial number. 🔸
Randy Price was pulled over in a traffic stop in 2019 in Charleston, West Virginia, and officers discovered a handgun in his car with the serial number #scraped #off.
Price was indicted on two federal charges
—possessing a firearm as a convicted felon (Price had earlier been convicted of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated robbery),
—and possessing a gun with an obliterated serial number.
He moved to dismiss the indictment under Bruen, and the district judge granted that motion as to the 922(k) serial number charge in an October 2022 decision.
In that opinion District Judge Joseph #Goodwin first determined that the law “is far more than [a] mere commercial regulation . . . [but r]ather [] a blatant prohibition on possession” that bans conduct protected by the Second Amendment.
At step two of the Bruen test, Judge Goodwin found that “the societal problem addressed by Section 922(k) was likely in existence at the founding but not addressed by similar means” and that serial number requirements (and bans on possessing guns without serial numbers) did not come about until the 20th century.
He also held that whether guns lacking a serial number are in common use for lawful purposes was ultimately irrelevant, because “the presence or lack of a serial number makes no difference with respect to whether the type of weapon is commonly used.”
In other words, the judge embraced the argument that common use inquires only into a firearm’s functionality and not superficial features.
