morgandawn: Copyright: I can watch what where? (streaming websites and their patchwork of IP deals)Ever wonder which streaming video sites have inked which deals with what content providers? I'll be updating this thread as we go. Feel free to drop a link to any news item that confirms a deal with either music or video content providers.
- giandujakiss: They caught me! - I got a notice from YouTube: // UMG has claimed some or all audio content in your video Joy to the World.... they will receive public statistics about your video, such as number of views. Viewers may also see advertising on your video's page. -
- jennem: Oh, Fandom. - YAY. We're going to pretend that Jews are Muggles and Hitler is Grindelwald for the purposes of our role playing game, because that would be a TOTALLY COOL game setting! -
- chopchica: your repulsive ass, let me show you it - Now that the joy of miscegenation fic has been cruelly yanked away, all they want is to play their Kristallnacht RPG in peace. But no worries, it's all in good fun and so you *totally* shouldn't be offended! -
- acari: I hate people sometimes. - What the hell is wrong with people? That word is not just a "historical reference", it's people and humiliation and death. It's the synagoge of my hometown being destroyed, the Jewish graveyard being vandalised. -
- thebratqueen: Having a brain: Ur doing it wrong - You don't have to yank from real life events because the books have done the scutwork on the symbolism and allegory for you. Also? Half the frakking point of JKR's writing is the Dickensian use of names. -
- wneleh: When you take away the glass - slash or smarm? - [...] referencing Spock's death scene in The Wrath of Khan, he has said that [...] slash is what happens when you take away the glass. I can see the appeal of this as a slash definition, but I think it's an even better way of describing, well, smarm. -
- xanphibian: untitled - In case you didn't know? It's NOT OKAY to use Kristallnacht as a name or a premise for a game. [...] If you don't know why, or continue to brush it off as having nothing to do with you, do a little MORE RESEARCH and give yourself a fucking history lesson. -

- thelana: go with your gut - Is it offensive to use the name Kristallnacht for an RPG? -
- kethylia: Are you a fan who wants to break into the manga biz? - It's widely accepted, especially among comics people, that the advent of manga has moved comics publishing closer to book publishing and that all of the issues that affect and afflict book publishing are becoming issues for comics publishing as well. This -
- rood: Why I think the FanFictionNetBot is a Bad Idea - I have a problem with it because it appears that I actually managed to learn a bit during my studies. I study journalism, in case you don't know, and I am not very attentive most of the time, but the concept of News values still stuck somehow. I know a Wi -
- minisinoo: META: Aiding the Willing Suspension of Disbelief (why research matters) - That said -- EVERY author has to make decisions about what level of research he or she is going to invest ... even when writing autobiography (unless one has an eidetic memory). We have to check things, and have to decide how far we'll go ... and what our -
- ithiliana: Antisemitism, Appropriation and Obscenity - Intent does not matter; good people can (as we see again and again) screw up in major ways, and appropriating this event for a RPG is not just "offensive" (I am getting awfully tired of that word). It's obscene. -
