@TimYowie In that sweep you missed @ABandAssociates operating the mobile pumping station - syphoning off the water for the @actgovernment - he’s been doing it for years.
@TimYowie@ABandAssociates I could never go that far. But the Mitchell library also has substantial material about the use of CB by the Rum Corps. MacArthur used them extensively in his various nefarious dealings.
@MrMappy@philipmallis I was pondering both your thoughts when looking at this mountain bike trail map - as it popped up. People love it - it’s kinda cool. It’s a homage etc. But…
@philipmallis@MrMappy And finally - I had some need to communicate formally with a global services platform. I engaged a global firm to do what emails and formal legal correspondence couldn’t. Hosts will almost always cave to flimsy claims - because they want no risk of incurring any liability.
@philipmallis@MrMappy It’s quite hard to have the conversation with the aggrieved IP holder if the breach is identified by an algorithmic sweep - because the hosting site will be almost impossible to communicate effectively with.
@philipmallis@MrMappy 2/2 I thought they had claims to the map, the symbol, mind the gap etc - as part of planned strategy to monetise the branding. London Underground in the key - has an editoral feel to it - and that is usually permissible. Wow. They really try it on dont they.
@philipmallis@MrMappy Wow. The dreaded spectre of intellectual property intrigue. Is the use of Underground in the key - really what required redbubble to pull the map? TfL are hyper agressive in the defence of their IP - They have a bunch of things they have well established rights to. 1/2
@ABandAssociates@wallabies@AllBlacks@scg Top Work Right There. Can’t even remember the last time I watched a rugby game - the 80’s? I think someone called Lynagh was kicking.
@ABandAssociates I think either is a great option. Also - are you sure you are being clear enough about what you think of the current Federal government?
@ABandAssociates You are being ridiculous. And ungrateful. This government is buying us nuclear submarines and has done more than any other in 50 years to protect our #UFOsites
@profsarahj Did the the car’s info panel/alert tell you the key battery was getting low? It’s a game of chicken to keep ignoring the warning until it’s flat.
@EdKuepper I grabbed a spare set of T Shirts last year - why - because I am obsessive - and who the hell doesn’t prep with spare Laughing Clowns T Shirts? Stored with the spare torch 🔦 batteries and UHT oat milk.
