    I thought the same myself, like it was a social media prank to see if they could get on tv etc.

    If it wasn't, and these 2 genuinely believe this, I do feel so very sorry for them.

    'Gorilla Glue girl' Tesicca Brown will make a full recovery, surgeon says

    Tessica Brown became known as "Gorilla Glue girl" after going viral when she used an extra strong brand of glue in her hair.

    After she launched a fundraiser, Ghanaian-American surgeon Dr Michael K Obeng stepped in to help.

    He carried out surgery to remove the glue from Ms Brown's hair free of charge.

    Dr Obeng is now warning of the dangers of using the wrong kind of products in the hair.

    "We do not believe that we can prove Mr. Alford's legal culpability by the 'beyond a reasonable doubt' standard," she wrote in a statement to the newspaper. "Therefore, the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office is dismissing the case against Herbert Alford."

    How kind of them!:mad:

    And this is why in winter you should always make sure your windows are closed properly, if you're in Russia.

    Copyright automatically exists.

    In theory the copyright on Steamboat Willy character Mickey Mouse will expire in on 1/1/2024.

    Unless they can get it extended, like the lyrics to "Happy Birthday", still copyrighted after 100+ years.
    Edit: it finally expired in the EU in 2017, after several legal actions.

    Not so the copyright for Happy Birthday ended 5 years or so ago. It is in Public Domain. There was a $14m lawsuit and the judge ruled it to be in Public Domain. It is in Public Domain in the EU and USA.

    Turns out he didn't, after all.

    From Wikipedia:
    In June 2008, the Brazilian and international media reported that the company Gethal, owned by Eliasch, had been issued a fine of R$450 million for alleged illegal deforestation in the Amazon region by IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources).Gethal was investigated facing a possible fine but after the investigation ended, Gethal was not fined. Eliasch did not own Gethal at the time when the activities under investigation took place. In a press release note, Gethal stated that “the logging activity of Gethal Amazonas S/A had been out under the Forest Steward Council (FSC) guidelines, a certification that was obtained in 2000. The company was one of the first companies in Brazil to obtain such a certification”. According to Gethal, technical expert reports were produced proving that the company never caused damage to the environment. Gethal stopped the logging activities in 2005, “when it came under Eliasch's control”.
    I don't know how logging in the rainforest would be environmentally sound, but then again, I'm no expert.
