short videos riddled with copyrighted music pewdiepie has been the most subscribed to independent youtube channel for five years and is making billions and millions every year his secret sauce using other people's content and reacting to it in fact almost every successful creator on the platform has made profit off of copyrighted material authored by someone else it's no different if you go to Facebook Instagram or Twitter everything's at copying the copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy the success of the internet economy is based on copying information if you are connected to the Internet it's almost certain you have violated a copyright law in your country knowingly or not copying is the fundamental requirement for computers to function computer networks and the internet itself at their core depend on copying information from one device to another copying is the very nature of existence cells continuously reproduce to create and spread new life some organisms even borrow and share one another's genetic information to make new and improved copies of older living organisms other social structures as human species has always been based on copying we've evolved because we freely copy it's the first human to make a hand tool we followed the first man out of the caves and built first huts there were no patents on wheel agriculture domestication or printing press from generation to generation we relied on sharing copying and improving upon information in songs poems stories and tales we thrived because there were no restrictions on passing information from one person to another but what's natural is not always what makes it into law with strict copyright and patent laws implemented across the developed world natural exchange of information has been banned in favor of giving authors exclusive rights to copy and protect their works but copyright is unlike any other right it gives the class of authors supreme position over the rest of the society while a trading everyone else as criminals when they want to exercise their free speech and property rights that a full extend copyright is the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute someone's work it's the right to make copies of a protected work hence copied right patents are government protections on improvements and inventions and devices and processes at least that's on paper in reality copyrights and patents are monopolies monopolies where only the right holders are allowed to profit from the resources it's a monopoly because the more copyrights and patents the government protects the more restricted people are in exercising their property rights imagine you and your neighbor both mine stone on your respective properties then your neighbor decides to build a sculpture out of a stone in the world of copyright the very pattern of this culture is now protected under the law that means no one else is allowed to take full use of their property and make the same sculpture of their own since you also own stone you are allowed to do everything except for making that sculpture if your neighbor was to start the mining stone with a pickaxe they could patent this new production method and for 20 years you would not be allowed to use a pickaxe to mine your stone on your property the more people make copyrighted works from their stone less and less property rights you can exercise with your stone the more patents are registered the more restricted you are in what you can and can't do on your property that's because the logic behind copyright and patent laws treats ideas as scarce resources when in reality they are infinitely abundant copyright along with other forms of intellectual monopolies like patents trademarks and trade secrets is presented as a form of property rights but property rights function completely differently and were put in place for starkly contrasting reasons the justification of private property is the scarcity of resources there is a finite amount of land food wood minerals goods products and labor because of scarcity people can resolve the competition over scarce resources with conflict conflict breathes catastrophe if tangible things were abandoned there will be no conflict over them and there will be no need for property rights if somebody took your car you wouldn't worry about it because you could just get another one by magically snapping your fingers once possession of an abundant resource doesn't deprive anyone else of possessing it copyright laws are not protecting scarce tangible goods they are protecting intangible ideas that are abundant copyright law is protecting the idea of a particular sculpture but property rights protect the materials the sculpture is made off if you were to violate an author's copyright you would make a copy of their idea that dated and allowed to be made if you were to violate their property rights you would take their physical sculpture by force without their consent in both cases you would be accused of theft and state would use force to coerce you but only one of them would actually deprive them of their property the language of copyright advocacy is intentionally misleading the purpose is to hide the fact it has nothing to do with property rights and that they are actually government backed monopolies that grant authors a certain degree of partial ownership over everyone else's physical property the moral and ethical grounds for property rights is to prevent conflict and create a just system of redistribution of scarce resources what's the justification for copyright well the answer is more philosophical than copyright advocates are willing to admit actually it's entirely philosophical there is a utilitarian view that says copyright laws incentivize authors to create work and make profit and profit creates wealth and wealth benefits society but there is no clear evidence whether copyright actually stimulates more wealth creation many small creators are actually offering their works for free and free from royalties or copyright altogether like the author of the background music you're currently listening to copying is free advertising the ones enforcing their copyrights the most are actually big studios record labels and publishers not the authors themselves most copyrighted works never entered the public domain so the general public cannot profit from authors creations if anything copyright laws concentrate wealth within the class of right holders without copyright laws software engineers and authors could and probably would be even more creative and innovative as they would have to respond to competition instead of enjoying government protection as monopolies going back to the stone and sculpture example if there weren't intellectual monopolies everybody could benefit from improvements and creative works the cost of stone would go down because the mining process would advanced immediately and not once every two decades everybody could freely improve upon prior concepts and ideas and thus make stone products better and more available but even if copyright monopoly proved to create more wealth than a world with no copyright laws that still wouldn't justify their existence the goal of law is justice not well for maximization people are responsible for their own wealth not the government's what makes copyright holders monopoly on distribution unethical is that their copyrights Institute authors supremacy of the rest of the population and other human rights somehow it became socially acceptable to equate a mere process of replicating and binary code of information with violently attacking a shape in taking its crew hostage for ransom piracy piracy is a crime because it deprives other people of their property and endanger their lives through the use of force online piracy doesn't exist because downloading a copy of a publicly available work made by someone else doesn't deprive them of anything there is no use of force and they still have their original works perfectly intact you can steal someone's candle but you are not stealing by lighting your candle at theirs there is no theft in the ladder in fact its enrichment by sharing and copying information you can we have more information you can never have less you could still believe that copying someone's work is wrong but you can't use utilitarian justifications or make false equivalencies with property rights so some believe in copyright because everybody has a right to the fruit of their labor and the rights to be rewarded for labor is a natural right hence copyright monopoly is a natural right except this philosophy is an acceptable arbitrary a mere creation in the process of labor doesn't guarantee ownership if you work on someone else's property you don't own the result of your work if you steal my clay and mold the cup from it your creation doesn't grant you any rights if anything you owe me compensation for damages the process of creation is simply not enough to grant any sort of protection according to the copyright and the patent law scientific truths and abstract ideas like philosophical truths can be copyrighted or patented so when if theoretical scientist discovers a new equation or invents a new scientific method they are engaging in a creative process when an engineer applies the very same science to improve their products they are also engaging in a creative process and still the work of the engineer is rewarded while the work of the scientist is not what makes people believe it's fair and moral to reward entertainers inventors and artists and not theoretical scientists the line between what's protected and what isn't is entirely arbitrary it's not based on experience truth or evidence why are copyrights protected up to 90 years after the author's death and patents are protected for exactly 20 years since the date of filing why are copyrights automatically given to a created work but patents must be registered there is no rigorous standard based on which these lines were drawn it's a matter of lobbying power and the lines keep getting redrawn the European copyright directive now aims to hold platforms themselves liable for when their users violates the copyright law it's not enough that copyright monopoly already prevents you from using your property however you want if someone else uses your property to break the law you're guilty by association this would make platforms like YouTube Facebook Instagram SoundCloud dailymotion Reddit and snapchat liable at the moment of upload for any copyright infringement in uploads from users creators and artists copyright laws are a slippery slope for the sake of giving authors a higher status in the law we are trading our free speech and privacy copyright strikes are one of the most efficient ways to silence opposition or criticism and this has been abused by politicians and government officials across the world it doesn't matter what the reason for a copyright takedown is which turn authors into arbiters of justice since they can freely choose to enforce the law when it's convenient been a negative coverage but allow positive feedback the logical conclusion of enforcing copyright monopolies is an abolition of privacy copyright laws criminalized society to detect copyright infringement on computer networks constant monitoring of people's devices or their networks needs to be implemented if you advocate for stricter copyright laws you need to be ready to give up your property rights for the seeming benefit you are supposed to have by giving authors monopolies of our distribution of information you don't have to pay for copyright it works with money but you are paying for the existence of copyright and patent laws with your freedom of speech and property rights there are multiple avenues to make profit with creative work even without copyright monopolies personalization authenticity or accessibility can add value that can be copied together with advertising sponsorship donations or merchandising establishing streams of revenue on a freely available work is more profitable than ever before it should be the author's responsibility to figure out their income rather than to use state to force people to pay for that which is abundant

classic copyright — I the creator reserve the right to profit off my work is OK, disney copyright us the distributor demand full and exclusive control over the distribution of this work is not. Originally copyright was to created to prevent publishers from effectively taking over an authors work, now it's being to used to empower publishers to take full control over works exactly the opposite of the intent. We do need to protect authors from big distributors/publishers but because the internet makes a lot of what distributors do irrelevant they are trying to make the government keep their failed and out-dated business model to continue artificially. Again this is exactly the opposite of protecting creators from distributors which was the original intent.
In addressing the Utilitarian argument you overlooked the quite convincing argument that Patents force competitiors to find alternative solutions to existing innovations.
Instead, you later straw-man this by saying patents limit innovations to only happen every 20 years.
This is further complicated by the fact that additions to Patented creations are protected. So if you patented the BBQ and I invented a hotdog grill that went on to BBQs, it would be perfectly legal.
How exactly is Disney's ownership of Mickey Mouse making my life miserable?
SO I get where you're coming from but the problem I see with abandoning copyright is as follows: creative works such as games and movies will be entirely unprofitable since after selling one copy, everybody will simply be able to take that copy from the single buyer for free, and the dozens of people who likely labored for an extended period of time will ever be compensated for their work.
"Copying is free advertizing" No it's not. Advertizing requires some kind of pointer to the source of the service or goods. You know, so others know where they can go acquire it. Not all forms of copying gives that. If I present to you the audio content of a random piece of music, you wouldn't know who did it. Herein is the core of the issue. I think the debate is over the parameters by which we allow copying. What attributions do we require, for what usages do we give licenses to the work? I'll present my take on this.
From what I understand of copyright, the main justification is that we want to prevent untransformatively copying and publishing another's artistic work without attribution (or without a disclaimer about not knowing who originally made it), which is the final formulation of the IP violation that makes obvious the wrongness of it. My argument lies on some form of honesty, punishing lying (lying about who made the work), and therefore ensuring a trust that whatever you publish can be sure to give you the credit and profit that you deserve for your work, and if someone violates that you may stop them.
I'll call "rightful usage" those uses of a work which do not purport to claim credit for making the original work. It is known that derivative works CONTAIN other works, and I think that most people are reasonable in knowing that not everything in a derivative work is made by the person doing the derivative work. The purview of copyright ought to be the protection of attribution of these other works from being wrongfully claimed by the person USING these works as building blocks for another work. I cannot claim to have made a work that I'm using in a derivative work.
I'll call "rightful copyright action" the actions which safeguard that crucial bit that is intended to correctly attribute works. Those are mainly takedowns (if the person reuploads a work claiming it as their own) and corrections to metadata (e.g. video titles and descriptions) to add proper notices about attribution. These are not abuses because they do not punish rightful usages of a work. Rightful copyright action excludes abuses of copyright law, which is punishing someone who uses the work rightfully. Again rightful uses are mainly creative edits or uses of a work to build some other transformative work that does not depend solely on the original. That's the concept of fair use and these don't contain a claim to have made the used works. The main "selling point" of a review is the analysis of the critic, not the movie itself. Never once has anyone I've come across ever bring into question the distinction between a critic and some movie makers. Never once has any movie review ever been a claim of ownership ("ownership" in this sense being the attribution of who made the work, not in the sense of holding a distributed or usable copy of it) coming from the critic.
Aside from holding as supreme values every imaginable liberty without any regard (this lack of regard for this makes your whole argument dubious, in my opinion) to how they might be used to create injustices in various ways (e.g. lying may be called a liberty of speech, but lying is most often unlawful, immoral, etc.), I don't think we can make a strong argument against rightful copyright action. We can view, create copies of and edit works. That's the rough outline of that kind of right to creative freedom. Okay. But most rights absolutely come along with some restrictions and responsibilities in not abusing them to infringe on others' rights. I think protections against others claiming your work ought to be a right. It's fair. What is the context at which you copy a work? Sharing to a friend does not imply any claim of ownership Creative edits do not either. Usage as accompanying material does not either (debatable but I'm willing to let this one through). Do you want to remove every regard for these distinctions?
There's no intellectual process or societal improvements in ripping others' works claiming it as your own. Therefore, fair restrictions that are limited in extent have no considerable downside. Most of what you call "copying" (indeed, your undistinctive usage of this one word for every sense in which works can be reproduced is also dubious) is already viewed as rightful usages of a work by normal people. Only people like big media music shills screech when their work is used rightfully by someone else.
If copyright infringement (the pure version, not the bastard de facto version we have in law, which punishes rightful usage of a work) is not theft (since your video depends on the strawman of saying "calling it theft is like comparing it with armed hostage-holding"), then what else call it? There absolutely is a wrongfulness contained in claiming another person's work as your own. What else would we call it if it's profitting off another person's work?
Laws should be for justice? Well, justice would be to let artists be the ones claiming credit for their own work, and not let some unscrupulous nitwits profit off of work that is entirely of another person. To address your final point about the idea that copyright should be enforced equally or be erased altogether because of the loss of privacy of Big-Brother-esque surveilance to scan the whole internet to detect infringements, I'll say my system and the existing system is not a "no one shall commit copyright infringement" kind of deal, but rather a "if you decide to, you may pursue action against wrongful copyright infringements you find" decision.
We need a mindset change in our society
While I do agree with your video and abuse of power that big corporations use. I think there has to be something there to protect the little man.
Even though there are free use music channels here on YouTube they ask that you credit them with the creation of that work and rightfully so, and like you said that's free advertising and benefits them.
However we don't live in an ideal world as most people don't care about where/who creates the content they like and some just out right take a creators content and pretend to be them which may yield them more revenue then the real creator which is wrong in my opinion
You can use it personally but not commercially.. copyright sounds like a good deal in that sense.
Hakuna Matata it's a trademarked phrase it means no worries for the rest of your days
"guy who doesn't understand copyright talks about how its bad"
I can't run a game I bought for the ps4 on Xbox one x because I can't copy the bios of the ps4 so I could boot the game properly. As a matter of fact, if the ps4 were to hypothetically use amd processors, and the Xbox were to use intel processors, then I could not build an emulator based off of the ps4 that would run on the Xbox because I would have to have a contract with amd to emulate their processors. The simple act of playing a physical ps4 disc on an emulator should be illegal according to copyright laws. As a matter of fact, according to copyright laws I cannot emulate the ps3, or the ps2, or the ps1. This is the biggest fallacy within the us law system due to a court case which decided to let a commercial emulator, Bleem, to be sold as long as the bios was different from the actual console and only play physical copies of the game. These laws are anticompetitive no matter how you spin them, I'm sure if you think about it long enough you can come up with the same type of example for every copyrighted thing known in existence. Why is Disney allowed to steal an individuals cartoon character? Because the individual is not important to society and does not have lawyers. Injustice is still injustice, even if it is law. Just because the parliament says that we have to buy tea, and pay taxes on that tea, does not mean we should buy tea. What we could do is boycott the mainstream media for a new platform that would promise no privacy invasion, let creators sell content under Creative Commons in some way (I.E. subscription), and petition the government with how many users the platform has. This would make the government see that content creators are protect without copyright and without privacy invasive services. If it's a trade secret, then someone will learn it eventually, and by that point it is a fair span of time that makes the idea makers want to create more original ideas, because they feel the shortage of resources equally to society which is a concept that repeatedly shows up in functioning microeconomics, at least in non-monopolies. The problem is, Disney can waste money and not feel any impact by it; this is characteristic of all monopolies. We should not want a monopoly because of this waste. In a competitive environment, it's a race to the next concept. Copyright and piracy is also very similar to communism and capitalism, because copyright will try to redistribute ideas and lock them up, where as piracy has a free flow of ideas. Do I think selling the exact same version of a movie in illegal counterfeiting? No, but to simply say that raw information is illegal with a holding within its copyright is wrong. There is a difference in counterfeiting, and pirating; thus, piracy should be looked at differently and separate from counterfeiting. Is the piracy plagiarism? If not, it is not wrong because it encourages better content. This will always be true because you can test this idea within a controlled environment. Make a functioning micro society that has a copyright law, then compare it to a same sized society with no copyright laws. What you will find is that it only benefits the society as a whole to have no copyright. The 2 reasons why copyright will only get worse in the USA, is because no one is protesting through methods that hurt the government, and everyone is switching to streaming services where a real life "1984" could take place. This is not a game to the people trying to make a living and are basically being robbed every single day. This is not a game for the people who wish to control what we see. This is not a game, this is happening now, this is real life.
The reason it is equated with piracy is not the claim that you are depriving them of anything. Their stance is you should have to pay them for it if you want access to it. Their belief is if you download a movie, for example, you are depriving them of the money you would have had to spend in order to see it.
But that being said, copyright and patents etc were only ever supposed to last a little while, so that huge investments of time, money and creativity could be made profitable, and so people would go to the effort. But it was never to allow them to suck money out of that idea for all eternity, or have sole ownership of it forever. It has been enormously abused in our capitalist world. Then again, what hasn't.
If I undestood you right, I CAN REPLICATE YOUR VIDEO ON MY CHANEL? Or ALL VIDEOS?
Sound like communist propaganda to me.
You've certainly made me rethink my position on copyright a bit, though having everything be public domain as standard does actually encourage monopolys due to bigger companies being able to quickly reproduce indie works as their own under cutting them with massive marketing campaigns before the indie product gains initial exposure, though with the internet age that issue may have gone away with information flow speeding up faster than people can work.
Regardless of circumstance of time period though i fully agree a copyright shouldn't continue past death, who the fuck needs money when they're fucking dead?
I'd say the 20 years patent time (hell I'd personally say 5 years, can't profit in that time your product is just a failure) would be more reasonable, people should be able to take inspiration from things within their life times, and with such a short time frame it could actually allow creation of fan interpretations within the final years of the works protection.
The only reason copyrights were deemed necessary was because of how much harder it is to protect, anyone with a printer can sell that work so it's given a window for it to be able to profit.
After someone's death is fucking retarded, media doesn't even stay on market for that long, why is it protected when the profits go to charity shops and second hand sellers?
Thanks man, awsome job!
1:00 well… that's hardly the majority of what he does… besides a good reactor can make actually decent content.
1:04 and these people disgust me for it
Can someone tell me the name of that movie at 9:03? Please??
There is no way to create anything without taking influences from others people works. Remixing, taking someone ideas and building your work on it is absolutely fine. I do it all the time as an art student. What is not right is profit off someone else's work without permission.
Youtube logic -> you cant use anything else but your stuff thats why we added a download button !
Why aren't you licensing your videos under Creative Commons then?
Okay, but what if some large company sees your work, copies it entirely, publishes it before you can and takes all credit for it? Without copyright, you would have no way to show that you were its original creator. The company might be forever hailed as the original creator of the work, with your name lost to time.
"copy" right is stupid because making a copy shouldnt be illegal. But uploading should be unauthorized. However here is a scenario without this. You invest millions into producing an awesome movie. You sell it. Some jackass buys it and then rips it and shares it with the world. Some people still want to buy it but some other jackass is producing blurays for a lower price. You are now out a lot of money and nothing new gets produced.
but doesn't copyright support the creation of educational art?
My music is creative content, so feel free to use it (verify in the description before using it)
I definately agree with some of your points. I do wonder how an author (not the publisher) of a book/song/movie whatever can make a living of their product. Giving (some of) your product(s) away for free can indeed be used to promote your work, but in the end you need to be able to exclusively sell something to earn a living. Perhaps that is something we need to change in the way authors (content creators or however you want to call it) can generate income off their labor.
I personally am a fan of systems where we cut out most of the publishers and such and the author has more control over their work, and can sell it directly to their target audience. That allows them to drop their prices (sometimes by more than 50%) while earning a little more. But even that system only works if the author has some exclusivity over their creation(s).
A better copyright system already exists. Its called plagiarism laws. This makes sure that any copied work is publicly traceable to the original creator, whether through direct reference or through reference to modified work.
Of course if copyright law was abolished programming only jobs would be shifted to jobs with programming as a secondary skill. Since the nature of code is continual improvement, most places where programming is needed would only need to take existing work and adjust it to thier needs.
While i love most of your videos and agree, I think you miss the mark here. There are certain products borne of intellectual pursuit that should be protected. Some examples include highly technical software such as MATLAB, Solidworks and the like, even extending to Windows.
Making products like that outside of an opensource environment would make no commercial sense at all and to protect intellectual property without some semblance of copyright laws would lead to an arms race between reverse engineers and DRM software developers even more than currently the case.
What about stealing through quantum computing? By scanning their qubits, you change them, thus you do change their original work! 😛
Ok so let's say I write a book. And some larger company decides to take my written word and publish it as their own, while using greater resources for marketing and thus drowning out my original publication. There is no way I can see to not call this theft.
sorry dude but patents dont prevent you from recreating something for personal use. and neither did copyrights originally before the whole Napster court ruling fiasco… your opening argument is bunk. copyright law is in a state of crisis right now, but ideally it does not hamper an individuals property rights… only their ability to monetize the IP of others
sharing is caring ❤

But anyway, great vid helped me understand copyright a lot.
Wow… the EU works for corporate interests. Imagine my surprise.
You say no damage is done when copyright is infringed, this is not true; what happens is the original inventor is losing their time and effort they invested in the invention. This video is misleading.
> censors statue penis at 3:50
> spams screen full of them at 4:23
Agreed. I've had that thought recently, good to see I'm not alone
Firstly, I will admit that I pirate things. But I do have to disagree with your statement that (online) piracy doesn't deprive the creators of anything. Technically speaking, it does deprive them of a tiny amount of income. Now if we're talking a massive software developer (like Microsoft) or a massive music/movie studio, your "deprival" of a few sheckles isn't going to hurt them in the slightest (heh, that's what I tell myself anyways). But it is technically depriving them of something. Not nearly as severe as physical piracy, where a bunch of Somalis board your ship and forcefully take control of it. But still, I do see where the "anti-internet-pirates" are coming from.
…that being said, I don't plan on changing my ways anytime soon lol
I think you take the word copy literal when copy right is more of some using some ones work for profit. Many abuse this sadly so I still see your point but the beging standpoint doesn't make sense.
This whole video is fundamentally flawed by falling for logical fallacies on so many levels, so I just point some of those due to lack of time and will:
1. Removing copyrights would not sparkle more innovation because if everyone could copy your products and invention for free, you would hardly achieve the return on your investment in research or creative work, thus people would seek other forms of self-sustaining work instead, slowing down progress as a result, profit is the major motivator behind inventions… Exclusion of copyrights or patent ownership for civilian made invention and instead giving it for free or into ownership of the state was tried in the Soviet Union and it was an economic disaster, together with the fact that inventors or research personnel did not really live that much better than coal mine worker, equality is really bad motivator for those doing much more for society than average Joe.
2. Statement about artists really not caring about copyrights anywhere as much as big companies is in many cases true, big companies are the ones financing big movies, etc. and taking risk on investment which would not return if anyone can just watch their newest movie uploaded on youtube for free by someone with intention to get money from ads from someone else hard and expensive to produce work, which is really ridiculous future proposed with straight face in your video that was not uploaded on 1. April. Without big companies, there will be no big projects because the single individual artist or group of them would be hardly capable finance something like Lord of the Rings trilogy from their own pocket or get a loan from the bank with enough of people with a brain due to risks involved, crowdfunding several hundred million dollar movie trilogy seems pretty unlikely today too…
3. Pretending that copyrights restricting your freedom because you then cannot produce something that was already patented or copyrighted is plain false, you can produce exactly the same thing in your home (outside of firearms and other restricted stuff), you just cannot sell it to anyone for profit (and yes, youtube videos are too often made for profit from ads or through Patreon & donations, although you still have Fair Use law for limited cases), apart for the fact that just by coincidence producing exactly same tech most often happening in countries which lack industrial base to succeed on the market with their own products and this doing serious harm to developed economies in the process by offering cheaper even when often less quality derivates of the originals which they copied as average customer often cannot distinguish or even need premium quality. This is hardly helping the progress by any means. Patents aren't there to restrict your freedom, but to prevent everyone else to make a profit on your hard mental work that resulted in innovative products that people actually want, so in fact it gives you more freedom by allowing you to make otherwise unprofitable endeavor like inventing time worthy effort, giving you more choices on how to sustain yourself and your family.
Wow, I've never found someone who could articulate this idea as well as me. Great video.
No… great content. You can tell your deeper philosophical worldview is thought out.
It really comes through, keep up the great work man.
I'll tell you what though, you're not going to get far on this platform… You should look at FloatPlane.
Linus Media Group is a serious media corporation on YouTube run by a sociopath with a Napoleon complex.
He squeezes every cent out of the deals he makes and didn't enjoy his relationship with YouTube.
So he fired his right hand man to start a new company and develop a platform where content creators get fully paid.
They're amateurs, so it's risky and I'm sure they have found a way to profit off the business model, but it's something.
Otherwise, I would look into Patreon to grow your channel. The content is there, you just need more production.
If you make for example a revolutionary solar panel who produces more electricity at cheaper cost and someone "steel your technology "
And keep you out of your own business because he didn't have to spent in R&D you will wish that government enforce and enable copyright law.
In the long run ,this situation will dissuade every one to creates things , restraining innovation because the mainly incentive to a creator is to generate profit.
The real problem in my opinion is the extent of the patents and the definition of innovation
I never liked copyright anyways but now I hate it.
Whom steals the fire feels the wrath of gods. A hero tortured for a victimless crime who can't ungive his gift to mankind.

Very Bad service and the laptop is not as described, it was used and i have been trying to return it with no response from the seller. and BESTBUY customer service is the worst they don't know what they are doing and not helping
from Mississauga, ON on December 3, 2019
I received the laptop I ordered within a week of ordering it. It was in good condition and packaged well. Fired right up when I plugged it in and no problems so far. The only thing missing was a receipt. Would it possible to get one? Thanks

Chuka Umunna attacks Boris Johnson over general election bid - 'Zero trust in him!'
CHUKA UMUNNA was left red-faced as his reluctance to agree to a snap election was mocked by BBC Newsnight host Kirsty Wark, during Thursday night's show.
The former Labour MP for Streatham admitted that things could not carry on as they are and that the current Brexit impasse had to be resolved. He said: "You have a Government that cannot govern - a minus 45 majority, and you have a Parliament that isn't functioning. "We are all going to have to make a decision on Monday as to what we do about this motion."
At which point Ms Wark interjected: "If you can't carry on like this, you are going to have to do something else.
"And the only something else you can actually do is another general election."
Mr Umunna was momentarily left floundering for a coherent answer, as he tried to shift the focus away from his reluctance to agree to an early election, so that things could indeed move on.
He stammered: "However, the question is… no,no,no I don't disagree with you, I am not disagreeing with you Kirsty."

The new Liberal Democrat then tried to turn the conversation around, to attack the integrity of Boris Johnson.
He claimed: "The problem that the Prime Minister has got is that unlike his predecessors there is literally zero trust in him.
"And so anything he puts forward will have to be watertight.
"He will have to give people like me, Emma and Damien confidence that we will not be crashing out of the European Union without a deal."
Jeremy Corbyn rejects Boris' general election challenge as Brexit
The Newsnight panel were discussing the Prime Minister's latest offer to MPs.
Mr Johnson wrote to Jeremy Corbyn on Thursday night saying that he would allow Parliament until November 6 to scrutinise his Brexit deal.
However, he will grant MPs more time on condition that they vote for an early election in December.
The Prime Minister told Sky News:"The way to get Brexit done is, I think, be reasonable with Parliament and say if they genuinely want more time to study this excellent deal, they can have it.
Christmas general election: Tories vow not to be the 'Grinch'
EU to set up Nov 30 Brexit but only if Boris wins MPs support for deal
Peston divulges Labour and SNP may accidentally force no deal Brexit
"But they have to agree to a general election on December 12 and that's the way forward, because this Parliament has been going on for a long time without a majority.
"It's refusing to deliver Brexit.
"It's impossible to deliver legislation.
"It's time, frankly, the opposition summoned up the nerve to submit themselves to the judgment of our collective boss, which is the UK."
Mr Johnson will need the support of 434 MPs to allow him to call a new election and will need a majority of Labour MPs to vote with him.
However, Labour are still dragging their feet over whether to accept Mr Johnson's latest proposal.
Mr Corbyn told the BBC on Thursday night that no final decision would be made until the EU27 has agreed to a Brexit extension.
He said: "We'll know tomorrow what the extension will be and I can answer that question tomorrow.
"What I'm saying now is: take no deal off the table."

Everyone understands that long-distance relationships can be tough. These partnerships rely on trust and communication even more than regular everyday relationships. Some may think celebrities have it easier—plane tickets are certainly easier to afford! However, being a celebrity comes with a mountain of responsibilities that can sometimes get in the way of a committed relationship.
From the long days on set and scheduled appearances for talk shows and interviews to even involving themselves in a general overload of projects—be it personal or philanthropic—being a celebrity is a full-time job. Throw in a relationship into the mix and it's a wonder how some Hollywood A-listers do it.
Some have a two-week rule in place, such as Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, who refuse to go longer without seeing one another. Other celebs, such as Ashley Graham and Justin Ervin, find the distance exciting and fresh, loving the opportunity to let tensions build between them.
Regardless of whether or not it's by choice, some celebrities just seem to make the long-distance thing work, giving the rest of us hope that it is possible to maintain a strong relationship even miles apart.
We've rounded up 20 examples of Hollywood's finest who are either still together after surviving the whirlwind of a long-distance relationship, and some who have successfully done it in the past.
20 Jamie Chung And Brian Greenberg Say They Base Their 3-Year Long Distance Relationship On Pure Trust
Actors Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg are a perfect example of a couple who maneuvers the waters of a long-distance relationship not by choice, but because their jobs demand them to do so. Married for almost four years, the couple bases their relationship on pure trust. In a joint interview with Us Magazine, Greenberg explains, "For us — I can't speak for other people or other relationships — but for us, there's just a lot of trust and enjoying the times that we have together and being present."
With Greenberg spending a good chunk of time in New York for work and Chung in Atlanta at their home, these cuties simply make the distance work!
19 Ashley Graham and Justin Ervin Say That They Find Their Long Distance 'Exciting'
Model Ashley Graham and cinematographer husband Justin Ervin, on the other hand, adore the concept of a long-distance relationship and absolutely thrive in it. Happily married for over eight years, the duo sees Ervin in Los Angeles filming while Graham spends most of her time in New York City for work.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Graham gushed about how the distance makes her feel, "It's absolutely fabulous. I love it. We just meet in L.A. or New York. We meet in Paris, Miami." With the powers of seduction clearly in place, these two let just enough time pass for them to miss one another!
18 Sarah Jessica Parker And Matthew Broderick Credit Time Apart As The Key To Their Happy 20-Year Marriage
Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker and hubby Matthew Broderick say that the key to their happy 20-year marriage is having time apart. While some couples would pine after one another, Parker appeared on an episode of Girlboss Radio with Sophia Amoruso and spoke about how much having busy schedules works for the couple.
"His work life takes him here, and mine takes me there. In some ways, I think that that's been enormously beneficial because we have so much to share in a way. Anytime that any relationship is hard, it's the point in which you're deciding, 'Is this worth the investment getting through whatever that thing is?'"
17 Sarah Hyland And Wells Adams Toughed Out The Long Distance For A While, Only To Move To The Same City
Modern Family star Sarah Hyland had to tough out a long-distance relationship with Bachelorette alum Wells Adams—only to have it result in an engagement! With Adams living in Nashville and Hyland in Los Angeles filming Modern Family, the duo certainly had to compromise on time together.
In an interview with People, Hyland explained how it worked, "I think the longest we've gone without seeing each other is like two to three weeks, because five days is already too much for us. We always try to make sure to see each other." Gushing about Adams, Hyland went on to explain that he would fly out every weekend or two to see her, a lovely way to show her how much he cares!
16 Vanessa Hudgens And Austin Butler Think It's Important To Lift Each Other Up Every Chance They Get Since They're Apart So Often
Actress Vanessa Hudgens and beau Austin Butler have been going strong for seven years, managing to tackle whatever distance comes between the two. Whenever they come together, Hudgens cites the importance of staying positive and supporting one another.
As she explained to Entertainment Tonight, "It's important to put that other person first. If you're constantly looking for ways that you can make them happy, and they're constantly looking for ways that they can make you happy, then you kind of lift each other up as much as possible and you can't go wrong." So adorable and so true!
15 Megan Mullally And Nick Offerman Have A Two-Week Rule In Place
Will and Grace actress Megan Mullally and Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman have been in a long distance marriage for a while now and cite a very specific rule they put in place as the key to their success. In a joint interview with AV Club, the duo explained their "two-week" clause. "First of all, we have a rule to never be apart for more than two weeks. We feel that a relationship if one makes it their top priority, must take precedence over matters of locale."
Clearly making time for one another no matter what comes in their way, the two also say that simply listening to your spouse for a few minutes a day also helps—especially when you're not able to physically be close to one another.
14 Claire Danes And Hugh Dancy Text Each Other Like There's No Distance Between Them
Actors Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy rely on the powers of technology to keep their love fresh while they're apart. The couple, which has been together since 2007, faced long-distance at one point, with Danes shooting Homeland in North Carolina while Dancy worked in New York. Their solution to keeping the love alive? Sending funny pictures and texts to one another.
According to SFGate, Danes went on CNN to explain how the couple manages."We talk a lot, we text a lot, we send each other photos of our toes – dumb stuff. I think it's dangerous when you go into reporting mode, when you just kind of list the things you've done that day."
13 Jennifer Lawrence And Nicholas Hoult Said It Was Crucial To Have Chemistry To Keep Their 5-Year Relationship Going
Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult may not be together anymore, but the duo maneuvered long-distance quite successfully during their 5-year relationship together. Dating across the pond sounds tough enough, so Jennifer spoke to More! Magazine while the duo dated to explain that chemistry overpowers all.
"It's all about chemistry. You can meet somebody and sparks fly immediately and you're attracted right away - that totally happens. Or you can meet another where yes, they're funny, nice and a great person, but you just don't have chemistry. And without that it just doesn't work." She went on to explain that while the couple would be lonely at times, meeting up would make up for all the time apart.
12 Courteney Cox And Johnny McDaid Say Distance Apart Made Them Value What They Had
Friends alum Courteney Cox and Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid actually credit long-distance to saving their relationship, as opposed to making it more difficult! The couple broke off their engagement back in 2015 and decided to spend months away from one another as a means of rekindling their romance.
According to the Irish Mirror, Cox opened up to Ellen DeGeneres, explaining, "We broke off our engagement and he moved to England, then we got back together and it's actually better than it was before. Everything's better. Not because he's in London — although I think the distance after that break-up, we were apart for six months, that really showed us a lot. It's just better."
11 Victoria And David Beckham Think That The Distance Does Them Good And Keeps Things Fresh
After being together for 20 years, David and Victoria Beckham still manage to keep their love alive—and thriving. The duo cites time apart as a wonderful means of keeping things fresh. According to Us Weekly, the iconic couple has homes both in the US and England and enjoy jetting to both for time away from one another. Victoria prefers to be in the U.K. because of her fashion line, while David is simply enjoying his retirement from soccer.
Even when the duo is together, they technically get to spend time apart, too. Their massive mansion in Oxfordshire, England, was actually designed with "his and her" wings, the perfect way to distance one another if need be.
10 Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban Travel Around The World To Support Each Other While Apart
Actress Nichole Kidman and musician Keith Urban simply make an effort to visit one another as much as possible while they're apart, certainly racking up the air miles.
After 13 years of marriage, Kidman gushed to People about Urban, "I have an incredible husband who is so willing to get on planes and fly places, even if it's for a night. I had an opening of the play three nights ago, and he's in the middle of a tour in the States. I said, 'It's too much for you to have to fly all the way back, don't worry,' and he said, 'I'm flying.'" That's definitely the sort of commitment that keeps the love alive.
9 Bono And Ali Hewson Try To Travel As A Family As Much As Possible
Being married to one of the biggest rock stars must be tough, especially with all the touring and concerts that happen worldwide. Somehow, Ali Hewson, Bono's better half, manages to make the 37-year-old marriage with the U2 star work. Opening up to Manchester Evening News, Hewson once talked about their marital success, saying, " Our marriage has worked because we like each other, because we talk to each other, and we are passionate about what we do."
Sometimes, Bono even takes his wife and children on tour too, as a means to keep them all together—including the tutors so his kids don't miss out on any education.
8 Troian Bellisario And Patrick J. Adams Say They Plan Adventures Together During Their Time Away
Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario and hubby Patrick J. Adams are absolutely adorable, taking time to plan adventures together while they're apart. Although they tied the knot in 2016, the two had to deal with long distance before then between her living in LA and his home in Toronto. As she once gushed to Us Magazine, " Patrick and I always have different adventures planned. A lot of air miles…You make it work!"
They've managed to maneuver through the long distance and welcomed their first child together, a beautiful baby girl, in October of 2018!
7 Khloe Kardashian Gave Perfect Advice For Long Distance Dates When She Was Away From Tristan Thompson
Although the world has recently found out about Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's split, the duo once made their long-distance relationship work between Ohio and Los Angeles, as the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star once revealed on her website. "The extra miles can sometimes make many aspects frustrating. Things can get complicated—you might get sad and lonely at times. However, being long distance also means you get to appreciate one another on a deeper level without the distractions of physical getting in the way."
According to People, She offered advice to her fans who also may be in long-distance relationships, saying that it's nice to do things together on FaceTime like watching TV or organizing the closet.
6 Miles Teller And Keleigh Sperry, On The Other Hand, Choose To Text Less While They're Apart
Whiplash star Miles Teller and his fiancee Keleigh Sperry try not to text often while they're apart—a different approach to most couples in long-distance relationships. According to People, Teller once opened up to Elle and explained, "The problem with people texting all the time is that if you're texting somebody everything you're doing throughout the day, there's no catch up. It removes the recap. I think that's important."
As per People, The duo is now happily settled in together, having moved into a large home in L.A.'s Studio City with their bulldog Bugsy.
5 Ed Sheeran And Cherry Seaborn Came Together After Living Separately And Took A Year Off Work To Go Traveling Together
Crooner Ed Sheeran married childhood sweetheart Cherry Seaborn back in 2018 but the duo was often faced with having to deal with vast distances apart thanks to Sheeran's extensive touring schedule. As Sheeran once opened up to People, he explains he was getting sick and tired of touring consistently as he felt that he wasn't properly living his life how he should be.
Deciding to take a year off and spend it with Cherry, he gushed, "This has been the first time I've actually had the time to fall in love properly." With Cherry taking time off work too, the duo decided to travel the world and let each other truly appreciate what they had.
4 John Krasinski And Emily Blunt Simply Made Time To See One Another, No Matter How Great The Distance Was
One of Hollywood's golden couples, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, also found themselves dealing with long distance at one point of their relationship and successfully coming out stronger together. Although they now have a beautiful home together in Brooklyn with their two daughters, Krasinski once proved his commitment to Blunt through a lot of flight time.
He flew every weekend from Montreal to London and back again to visit Blunt while was working on Mary Poppins Returns and he was filming Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. According to Time, he once told People in an interview, "Family for me, it's a non-negotiable thing. So if I'm honest, I was shooting 6,000 miles away from them, and I flew back every single weekend."
3 Gwen Stefani And Blake Shelton Engage In Social Media PDA While They're Apart
Former co-judges on The Voice Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are absolutely adorable together and totally in love. Since both of them are musicians, they frequently video chat due to touring schedules and conflicts in their schedules. Their other solution? Social media PDA where they gush about one another for the world to see.
According to The Loop, back in 2016 when Stefani was in New York performing on SNL, Shelton had to be in Las Vegas for the ACM Awards. He, of course, kept tabs on her performance throughout the evening and took to Twitter multiple times to gush about her!
2 Gwyneth Paltrow And Chris Martin Tried To Do Everything As A Family No Matter How Far Away They Were
Although actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay crooner Chris Martin aren't a couple anymore, the duo had a very intimate 13-year marriage, one that, to this day, sees the duo on brilliant terms, co-parenting their children together. According to People, the couple frequently had to divide their time between their homes in London and Los Angeles as Martin found himself working on albums, and Paltrow had her acting to worry about.
They somehow always made time to come together as a family and prioritize raising their children. A source close to the couple revealed, "They made an effort to be there for their kids at their activities, and though they had [crazy] schedules they were always around together in L.A."
1 Amanda Seyfried And Dominic Cooper Used To Use Skype To Stay In Touch And Pretended They Were In The Same Room
Mamma Mia! co-stars and once-adorable-duo Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper had to ride the waves of their long distance relationship for years. While Seyfried spent most of her time in America, Dominic was U.K.-based, and as often as they tried to meet up, they had to rely on their computers, more specifically, Skype.
As she once explained to People, " We don't even sit in front of the computer. The other day, I was cleaning, he was cleaning. We couldn't see each other – we were just scrubbing away and talking like we were in the same room." At the end of the day, trying to minimize that physical distance by being as close as possible via screens seems like a logical solution!

An NBC 5 investigation first brought the prosecution of CBD oil in Tarrant County to light. In an interview with NBC 5, the Tarrant County First Assistant District Attorney said Tarrant County is "going to enforce the law." When he says that any amount of CBD oil is illegal - and a misdemeanor offense if it does not contain THC - the law he is referring to is not one passed by Texas legislators. Texas legislators have not specifically made cannibidiol a controlled substance. A medical doctor, who serves as the DSHS Commissioner, added cannibidiol to the list of controlled substances.
Hemptation Infused Goods scores points for innovation thanks to its unusual CBD oil-infused honey, which is harvested from hives in Vermont and, according to the company, has a "slightly spicy bite." That said, customers who prefer not to get their CBD hit on toast may instead opt for one of Hemptation's similarly novel bath bombs, designed to either invigorate or help unwind when the user settles in for a soak. More traditional types might be relieved to hear, however, that the company also offers sublingual CBD oils in dropper bottles, 99-percent pure slabs of CBD isolate and wax – the latter made from a whole extract of the hemp plant. Furthermore, Hemptation arguably takes customer service to the next level by offering in-person consultations about CBD, available to those living in Massachusetts or Vermont for a $60 fee. Anyone further afield, meanwhile, can take advantage of a similar but more inexpensive service by either telephone or live chat online.
It's also one of the strongest and most concentrated CBD oils for pain on the market today. With a grain-of-rice-sized recommended serving taken orally twice a day, its potent punch acts quickly—in just ten to fifteen minutes—to provide powerful relief. Furthermore, it offers terrific value for your money, boasting more CBD per dollar than many other CBD products.
In order to determine which companies were included on this best cbd oil list and how they were ranked, each prominent provider on the market (Note: we pulled our list of brands from other established and credible CBD rankings like: this one and this one.) was allocated six individual Rank Scores based on their performance in the following metrics:
While the other CBD oil stores have high-quality products, our choice simply came down to variety, potency and price. Whichever you choose to go for, though, know that all of the companies above have an outstanding store and offer a wide range of effective products, from CBD oils to Terps and even CBD creams. Plus, most have a 100% money back guarantee policy, which is quite nice!
Even though CBD federal law now allows for cannabidiol to be used nationwide, it is critical that when purchasing CBD products that you buy products from reputable sources such as American Hemp Oil. Why? Because all our CBD products are made with extracts obtained from industrial hemp ensuring American Hemp Oil products comply with all legal regulations.
Transparency seems to be a priority at Green Roads, as the company's website explains in detail the process by which its CBD oil is created and what it contains. Potential customers might also be reassured to find out that Green Roads products have been carefully compounded by a pharmacist with more than two decades of experience in the field. Meanwhile, to help ensure the quality of its products, the company regularly subjects its CBD oil to third-party lab tests, the results of which can be found online. Such stringency may, in turn, account for the highly positive reviews afforded to Green Roads' most potent CBD oil tincture – a 1,500 mg concentrate. And for those wishing to branch out beyond that, the producer offers a range of similarly acclaimed edibles, including gummie-men and lollypops, as well as CBD oil-infused night-time syrups, capsules, tea and coffee.
CBD oil alleviates physical pain and anxiety – both of which can have a negative impact on sleep. Additionally, CBD oil can actually prolong sleep for some, leading to more rest from night to night. Most medical experts agree that marijuana is not particularly beneficial for individuals with medical conditions and/or mental health disorders, as the THC can increase their symptoms; this makes CBD oil a good alternative option for people with the following sleep disorders and medical conditions.
Cultivating hemp is illegal in the US; importing hemp and hemp products, including hemp oil, rich in CBD, is not. How bloody hard is that to know? Why is Leafly allowing the publication of such contrarian articles? Lust for the fortunes that deputy editor, Barcott, is still chasing? DEA's Rosenberg rule is just a rule … the 9th Circuit Court blasted them in the 2001 case and PERMANENTLY ENJOINED the DEA from making law. They can write all the rules they want, but they cannot make law. That is the job of Congress, and so far, Congress has not made a damn ruling about ANYTHING … but hang in there!
Pioneers of the CBD industry, 4 Corners Cannabis helped pave the way for companies that want to provide quality products and utilize best practices. They grow their own strain of hemp and make small batches of true full-spectrum CBD products. Their prices place them lower down on our ranking, but their highly satisfied customers are more than willing to pay for the 4 Corners quality.
Crazy thing is that there are some stores that are actually selling CBD oil for vapes and ingestion and they are not paying attention that it actually states on the back of the package "contains <3% THC" (which is illegal in WY). But you are correct there are lots of places in WY that throw the book at you for petty little shit and let the harder criminals off with a slap on the wrist. Sucks
Taking CBD orally or vaping it is a great way to address a number of health issues, including sleeplessness, chronic pain and anxiety. But there's another way to benefit from the power of CBD: topically. There are many topical applications available, including balms, salves, lotions and oils. They will help soothe your skin, calm your nerves, relax your mind and leave you feeling radiant. Warning: due to their popularity, CBD topicals are flooding the market. Finding the best products for your needs can be daunting. This top ten list will get you started.
Multiple sclerosis (MS). A prescription-only nasal spray product (Sativex, GW Pharmaceuticals) containing both 9-delta-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol has been shown to be effective for improving pain, muscle-tightness, and urination frequency in people with MS. This product is used in over 25 countries outside of the United States. But there is inconsistent evidence on the effectiveness of cannabidiol for symptoms of multiple sclerosis when it is used alone. Some early research suggests that using a cannabidiol spray under the tongue might improve pain and muscle tightness, but not muscle spasms, tiredness, bladder control, mobility, or well-being and quality of life in patients with MS.

Most taxpayers live on a budget so they don't run out of money before they run out of month. Each of us have faced times when the budget is uncomfortably tight and we have to make hard spending choices. When that happens do you typically cut your home owner's insurance or would you eliminate expensive gifts to rich relatives?
Volusia County has chosen to give a big chunk of your home owner's insurance money to super wealthy friends who promise to keep them in power.
One of the most compelling responsibilities of local government is to provide services that keep our families safe in situations we are not equipped or prepared to handle ourselves. Almost all taxpayers agree that when we face those dreaded emergencies we should expect adequate and timely responses from those who are best trained to keep us safe. Your house is on fire. Your loved one is dying of a heart attack or injury. You're drowning in an ocean whose power is no match for your skills. Or God forbid, your family is confronted with a drug crazed home invader with a gun. At these times we rely on fast response times by well-trained properly staffed emergency service providers.
After all, we elect public servants to make sure our public safety network is ready for the call you hope to never have to make.
In Volusia County, Public Safety is stressed to dangerous levels because our elected public servants turn a blind eye to the spending choices made by the County Manager. Fire Fighters are understaffed to the point their own lives are often in jeopardy not to mention the lives of the public they have chosen to serve. EMS, the Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics we expect to be on scene quickly when emergencies arise, may not have a staffed unit available.
Most of us civilians assume these services are adequately staffed. After all, you never see two guys show up for an emergency in one fire truck on TV. There is always a group of first responders doing a multitude of tasks in order to provide the fastest service with the greatest ability to rescue and treat victims while remaining safe themselves. We are conditioned to expect an immediate response by a more than adequate team of professionals.
I understand, and so do these professionals in public safety, that we don't live in a TV fantasy land. We have real budgets with real limitations. We get it. But In Volusia County reasonable expectations for good emergency service may require some luck. It is not because we have first responders who are incapable or unreliable.
During discussions with fire fighter a few years ago, County Manager Jim Dinneen agreed that three Fire Fighters per truck were necessary to provide adequate service. A few years later he slashed staff to levels that will only permit a two person crew. Volusia County EMS has not seen a significant change in staffing in this decade. Perhaps it was determined public safety was the place to cut spending during the tough years of recession we just went through.
I would have preferred the cuts begin with the millions of taxpayer dollars the Volusia County Council gives away each year in corporate welfare. Corrupt corporate cronyism is the driver for decisions in our County government. Campaign finance reports that are public record reveal the reason why Public Safety has taken a back seat to the desires of our elected "representatives" wealthy friends. The Sheriff's repeated requests to correct glaring problems with inefficient and inadequate computer systems, a beleaguered Air One helicopter, and record low pay for dispatchers have not received a response. This same brush off is experienced by Fire Fighters and EMS services.
In a community like ours with a growing population over 55 where new homes are under construction by the thousands, this will inevitably lead to disaster.
Meanwhile the county is proud to show the $2.1 million dollar quarterly interest it just earned on their half a billion dollars of investments. The county has a huge savings account funded with money taken out of your pocket, ostensibly for the purpose of serving the needs of our community. How is your family's personal savings account performing?
The lack of staffing is dangerous for fire fighters who are almost always first on the scene. How do they check for victims, dangerous surroundings or circumstances, rescue any victims, fight the fire, and even begin to prepare any victims for transport before the ambulance arrives? Is it acceptable for them to hope for a little luck for everything to go perfectly? That doesn't even happen on TV.
Even when firefighters are able to prepare a victim for transport they often have to wait for an available ambulance. That delay doesn't happen because the paramedics are off watching football somewhere – it happens because frequently, all of the available ambulances are already on a call. We have an adequate number of vehicles, but the county does not hire enough EMT's or Paramedics to cover the needs of our community.
Volusia County ambulances are dispatched for hospital to hospital transfers multiple times every day. For many of these transfers, paramedics and EMTs are dispatched to transport patients from hospitals within Volusia County to hospitals in Orlando, Gainesville, and occasionally Jacksonville. This can contribute to a lack of available units ready for service. In a well-staffed operation this could be a reasonable source of added revenue to offset costs. In an already understaffed situation the stress it adds to the system is not worth the revenue.
In Volusia County, ambulance crews don't have a station to return to in between each 911 call. Instead, they are instructed to sit and wait in parking lots in centralized areas to be on stand by for the next 911 call to come in. Try to imagine your 12 hour shift as a Paramedic or EMT confined to the cab of an ambulance. This means they have no access to tables to eat their meals, no access to desks to complete very detailed patient care reports, no access to clean restrooms and hand washing sinks, and no shelter from inclement weather. Like the Florida heat.
You would think our hot months would not be a concern for an ambulance with AC. However, since vehicles are forced to stay in operation for an entire shift without returning to the shelter of a station in between calls, the EMS personnel often have to try to park underneath trees to attempt to keep the ambulance cool. Still, the patient compartments frequently reach temperatures above 80 degrees. Try not getting motion sickness when riding backwards in a vehicle that is 84 degrees inside. Then, try treating a heat stroke victim in that same environment.
Florida law requires the patient compartment of the ambulance to not exceed 78 degrees. In Volusia the compartment temperatures on some of the ambulances will frequently range from 80 to 90 degrees even with the AC unit running.
If the ambulance is at one of the hospital ambulance ramps where the County has installed "shore lines", electrical hook ups to keep all the electronics running, they plug in and wait. Unfortunately, these electrical lines will not power anything in the front of the ambulance and leaves crews on night shift sitting in the dark. So the lucky crew using an available shore line gets to sit in an oven during Florida's hot summer. Staging these ambulances right on the ambulance ramp at the hospital is like having a commercial aircraft to unload its passengers on the main runway. It doesn't make operational sense.
According to 2016 figures, our four surrounding counties have a resident to staffed ambulance availability range between 14,700 - 19,600 to 1. Volusia has a ratio of 32,400 to 1. That is double the accepted norm. EMS employee turnover rate is higher than it should be because of poor working conditions. That hurts the familiarity that needs to exist between fire fighters and EMS personnel. Still, their main concern is being able to arrive at an emergency scene before the patient is dead.
Public safety must have immediate attention. When I am elected to the Volus

"Joker" will be the fourth DC title to cross $1 billion, behind "Aquaman" ($1.15 billion), "The Dark Knight Rises" ($1.084 billion) and "The Dark Knight" ($1.005 billion), not adjusted for inflation.
Overall, it is becoming the 13th live-action comic book movie to collect $1 billion or more, even though it is not billed as a traditional "superhero" movie.
"Joker" had already passed up "Deadpool" ($783 million) to become the top-grossing R-rated pic of all time, not adjusted for inflation.
"Joker" will become the sixth Warners film to lay claim to the billion-dollar milestone. In addition to "Aquaman" and the two "Dark Knight" movies, the other titles are the final "Harry Potter" movie ($1.34 billion) and "The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey" ($1.02 billion).
That number grows to seven if counting "Lord of the Rings The Return of the King" ($1.13 billion).
In terms of other DC titles in the post-Christopher Nolan era, "Man of Steel" topped out at $668 million globally, followed by "Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice" ($873.6 million), "Suicide Squad" ($746.8 million), "Wonder Woman" ($821.8 million) and "Justice League" ($657.9 million).

4) In the light of recent Forest Survey report, discuss the significance of Forest Survey in India. What are the issues and challenges involved? Elucidate.(250 words)
- March 9, 2019
- Posted by: InsightsIAS
- Category: INSIGHTS
Topic: Distribution of key natural resources across the world (including South Asia and the Indian subcontinent); factors responsible for the location of primary, secondary, and tertiary sector industries in various parts of the world (including India)/ Bio diversity, Environment.
4) In the light of recent Forest Survey report, discuss the significance of Forest Survey in India. What are the issues and challenges involved? Elucidate.(250 words)
Why this question:
The article is in the background of the recent recommendations made by the high-power committee constituted by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) that forest surveys — the biennial exercise by the government to estimate forest cover —should explicitly demarcate trees grown in forests from those grown outside, that is, in plantations and private lands.
Key demand of the question:
The answer must discuss the significance of the forest surveys in India; importance, issues and challenges involved and how do we address such challenges.
Directive word:
Discuss – This is an all-encompassing directive – you have to debate on paper by going through the details of the issues concerned by examining each one of them. You have to give reasons for both for and against arguments.
Structure of the answer:
Begin with the importance of forests as a key natural resource, forest surveys as a prime most step in conservation efforts to save forests .
Discuss the importance of forests, bring out the role of forest surveys – in terms of assessment, analysis of the status of the natural resources. Bring out ow they highlight the conditions of forests effectively, what are the issues involved in these surveys, what needs to be done, government's role in dealing with these challenges.
Conclude with the importance of the survey and suggest way forward.
