This Day in Buster…July 21, 1927

William Pittenger’s widow files a case against Buster Keaton’s studio for ‘lifting’ the plot of “The General” from her late husband’s book.  Buster’s response & the state of litigation when it comes to copyright makes a fascinating read.

I bear the weight of unspoken words - ones that desperately needed to be heard, but never found their voice. I am perpetually consumed by thoughts of you. So much so, I’ve deluded myself into believing that this collection might resolve any lingering anguish. If I am honest with myself, which you always urged me to be, I foolishly cling to the hope that these pages, instilled with memories, might one day reach you.

No, that is not entirely accurate.

Ultimately, I cannot bear the thought of forgetting. Father always told me these moments are few and precious, slipping through our fingers if we are not careful. Thus, I want to remember everything - the delicate dusting of freckles across the bridge of your nose, a tiny constellation only I have memorized; the small mole on your left shoulder, a mark I have traced countless times; even the veins that snake across your calloused hands, which I know better than my own. I wish to recall your entirety for as long as I can; not just fleeting moments that surface when something or another reminds me of you. Until the inevitable day when my tongue can no longer string together the syllables of your name. 

Please, too, remember me always.

reading the thoughts of those IP defenders is interesting. a lot of them will argue "we should just reform copyright such that it can no longer be used by big corporations exploitatively". it's completely idealistic. any attempt to "reform" copyright in that way would be completely at odds with the material interests of the people currently propping up the current system, and they would correctly identify any of those efforts at massive sweeping reform as tantamount to copyright abolition and oppose it just as staunchly! but even if it wasn't, those enfranchised parties are directly incentivized to never give an inch! you're not reforming your way out of this one, girl!!!

People reallllly fell for the whole meritocracy lie. Having skill will not earn you wealth because wealth is not a function of skill.

Shut your ears, Close your mouth, Never ever break the glass, Hold the secrets, make them last, Living thru our parents past.

What if

We never rid ourselves

Of the scents of others

Buried in our hands

Their cells

The dregs and whispers

Of dying moments of existence

Of skin we have held

Our fingers dirty

Steeped in filthy mementos

Never coming clean

Few things make me come unglued. This? Yeah, this made me come un-fucking-glued.

I don't give a shit if the SESAC and Alphabet, Inc. are having a lover's tat. Don't block my videos that use shitty covers of your unstable record labels' songs. It's especially fucked up that a fucking AdLib Visual Composer cover of one of Rush's shitty songs somehow got entangled in this mess. It's literally just a beeps-and-boops version of the song, you fuck-nuts!!

Fuck you, Alphabet, Inc. And Google. And YouTube. And especially you, Society of European Stage Authors and Composers.

I love how the costume designers on spn will have this intricate shirt meta with different outfits or patterns or color choices and then when it came to jacks first ever outfit they just threw a shirt on him that says “fuck around and find out”

[livvyofthelake]

the trouble i went through in the past 30 minutes to be able to fucking make this post. just so i could attempt to make even one person understand what i mean when i say this shit sounds so goddamn similar. is ridiculous. the similarities have been bugging me for MONTHS and frankly it's driving me out of my mind. someone validate me and tell me this shit sounds the same so i don't completely lose my fucking marbles...

i <3 copyrighted material being put into new contexts to create something entirely new and different

This is the most concise+accessible distillation of the problems with copyright I've ever seen.

We can't do those things because it would require big profit-above-all entities to successfully do a licensing deal primarily for the sake of some joy and whimsy.

That's not to say that we should do away with all restrictions on copying and derivative works, but I think at a minimum, once your work reaches wide recognition, there should be mandatory and very affordable licensing.

the fact that we as a society have the muppets and they are not everywhere in our cultural consciousness is appalling. why aren't the muppets hosting the oscars. why aren't the muppets commentating the olympics. why aren't the muppets coming to a theatre near me every year with a new adaptation of a classic novel. genuinely what are we doing.

I despise anyone who have ever met your gaze, an uncontrollable urge to make the ghosts disappear

The ghosts of the people who have wandered in your mind, your thoughts, your heart…

Oh this covetous desire, the burning feeling of my soul being shattered by your words

The revulsion on my hands, If I could only make them disappear from the pages of your story, banish them, make you forget about the past

I’m greedy, I know, but bear with me and my yearning for you, my poor existence that anguishes for your infinity

I can’t help it, I need to be the only one for you

A year ago... week 29 | "2010" remix | Cato of B.L.A.M.E.SOCIETY | #32weeksMixtape

Not a demon, but I do so much, its is exhausting...I said all that to let you know, I am not a new comer. Hip hop, and gaining courage to continuously put your self in the public eye of people, many of which you have no idea how they will recieve you, and not giving up...is the arena I have been living in for decades now.

Don't believe me, check the #YouTube channel. You will find Cato has been making music (cringe and all) since a teenager. Everytime music of mine is released, I was the one to make that happen.

Ooooo I almost forgot:

Next newsletter goes out in about 20 hours (i do sometimes send out additional ones to those who sign up after the initial email.

Anyway, this one will contain a new verse (feature) as a sneak peek surprise. The verse was written for a song about not giving up, staying in the good fight, and refusing to lose.
