LOL, yet another for the ever-increasing list.

Couldn't ABBA simply file DMCA takedowns against Trump's campaign? I mean, use capitalism to defeat capitalism and all that...

No because then the trump knob-slobbering judges he stacked the court with will delay and delay and delay it because their baby darling boy can't do anything wrong.

I mean, not that that isn't true, but isn't the point of the DMCA that it forces the accused party to (automatically) take action to remove the content even before being able to try have the case lifted up to a court?

At least that's how I've understood DMCA as a non-US person: a mechanism to skirt court proceedings and have content automagically taken down.

That is the mechanism of rich corpos and people against poor people. Poor people automatically take it down because they can't afford to get sued for multi millions. Rich people and companies can just fight it and out-last their opponents in court costs.

Also not in the US, but that is what someone explained to me about how it usually works.

the article doesn't mention the song(s), so idk which ones would they pick, but i know one that would be perfect for nov 5th, its called Knowing Me, Knowing You

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 10 points 2 months ago

I think "Money, money, money" would be perfect for Trump's campaign.

Did Trump at least thank them for the music?

We've seen he's no dancing queen

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think a Court should order Trump to walk out onto stage at the debate to the song Dancing Queen as restitution just because I know Trump and his supporters would hate it.

Unfortunately, these people have been told to not understand irony at any level, it's an actual requirement to be a ~~supporter~~ cult member.

They love anything he does. They started wearing diapers because he wears them FFS.
