[lame54]

Big deal
Just throw it on the pile
Trump breaks laws in bulk and while they are chasing some they will never get to them all

1. Will no one rid us of this felonious ex-president?

2. It's gonna take this guy -- and I hope he comes for Donny right after he destroys the GOP

3. In prison would be nice.

After a miserable 15-20 year stay.

5. Need to say this near a couple of drunken crusaders for best effect.

Nobody here has the stones.

4. Plagiarize?

It’s intellectual property and copyright theft. And it’s not the first time.

6. If he would get punished for all the laws he broke

he would be locked for 100 years or more. Remember his doctor said he could live 200 years.

7. Because of COURSE he is!

[Celerity]

8. What legal authority is looking at this? Also it is ironic that site talking about plagiarism uses a

fake Russian male pic for one of its writers.

12. That is funny...

There were several links to choose from. I just grabbed one not caring about the actual story. It's just another Trump crime

[Initech]

10. Seriously, is there anything that he does that's legit?

[onenote]

11. Have any copyright owners come forward?

The fact that the NFTs appear to use existing images doesn’t mean an actionable copyright infringement has occurred. For example, do we know whether the creators of the images registered them with the Copyright Office (a prerequisite for bringing an infringement action)? Did the creators of the NFTs license the images from their originators? Finally, even if the images are infringing, would Trump himself be liable for the use of the imagery by the creators of the NFT images?

13. The copyright owners didn't need

To have the copyrights registered at the time of the theft--only before filing the suit. So if someone with an unregistered image sees that someone has ripped off said image, all they have to do is go to a lawyer, who will file the registration. The second after that gets done, the lawyer can then sue for copyright infringement.

So it doesn't matter if it was registered when it was stolen. It only matters if the legit owner has registered for copyright on the work when the suit gets filed.

It's only been a few days since this idiot scheme came to light. Let's give the legit owners a chance to find out their work has been stolen, contact attorneys, register copyright, file suit and all of that. It won't happen overnight.

And I can bet at least one of them will do just that.
