Another benefit of the class action lawsuit is the deterrent effect on wrongdoers. Imagine if there were no regulations, no policing of businesses.

There is a fair use exception. However, the best practice is to watch what we post, and not violate someone's copyright just because we won't get caught.

Not true. You wouldn't need copyright protection if you didn't let the public see it. The purpose is to keep others from using your work, including republishing that work.

Ignorance, especially the wilfull type, is the biggest danger. Knowledge about these subjects is constantly improving, sometimes voiding what we thought we knew, and being 78 is no excuse for not trying to keep up.

I do. I find that they are a good source for the news.
I got the same message yesterday, and thought that they may be headed toward a subscription model.

Money in the stock market is, for the most part, simply parked there. It produces nothing. It doesn't belong to the company, it is the way those with money trade ownership with each other. The company doesn't get that money to invest in new stuff or employees or CEOs. Only when the company sells new stock, or sells treasury shares, or uses earnings or borrows does that company have new money to invest.
When, as you say, an investor actually starts something new, or buys and puts money into an existing venture, that investor is actually pumping money into the economy.
Yet today most of the financial "news" is whether stock prices are up or down, and for every dollar used to buy stock at a higher price, the seller takes his money out. Real financial news would report whether wages are up or down, prices are up or down, production is up or down.

I would like to comment in some detail how this relates to parenting and national leadership, but I don’t want to send it to the attic either.
Yeah, we are learning that you can get away with anything. Today's parents, who raise today's kids, are the children of our children. If only we had done a better job.

Thanks for the real story. That lawsuit has been used to bash Stella, and lawyers, for years.

When I invoke the 5 second rule (longer, if I'm not quick) it is because I've decided to eat the morsel, not fearing the consequences, and make a joke about it.

I needed one from Apple, watched for the email. That didn't come. Then tried another way, given the choice, used phone number, got it immediately, and got in the Apple site.
