As part of a legal settlement, Mr. Hauser must donate his profits from the publication of his book to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an advocacy group for Muslims.
I am worried because imposing a foreign, non-Western ideology on the West is certain to be result in mass horror and the loss of all that is good in the world
in spite of the fact that Islam has a really good perspective towards homos, obviously.
im not alex jones, but i would be very uncomfortable if i was ordered to donate to cair, i wouldnt mind giving to a muslim chairty, but cair are actual terrorist sympathizers.
I don't think there is a laches defense to copyright infringement, so Furie very well might win. This is in contrast to his trademark filing, which he only did long after Pepe became a public icon of freedom from tyrannical leftism, because he is a bitch.
It is hilarious that Furie wants to donate the $29.95 to the known terrorist Muslim group CAIR. What a fag.
The assumptions made based on the other subs I post in about whether or not it's serious is peak redditor retardation. It's not serious, of course - and that's clearly a bad thing.
The Pepe thing here might have more traction though. Also when you think about it, Alex Jones is going through a lot (removal from youtube, custody issues, now copyright lawsuit...). Up until now, what we saw of hiw was when he was holding it all together. So I can't imagine what a meltdown of his might look like.
the beginning of it was when he was fired from cnn, then he was hired by foxnews, had his own hour long show.. over his tenure there, he was getting more and more psychotic and eventually fox fired him then he really seemed to lose it.
I really didn't pay much to the drama that ensued save for laughing whenever I heard bits and pieces of it.
then, during the 2016 election he was first pro-trump, then changed to being pro-hillary, after trump won he changed back to being a libertarian and hating trump.
I think he still has a talk show on a.m. radio, every once and a while on past road trips I'd find his show.. he sounded more unhinged than limbaugh, if that's even possible.
If Limbaugh doesn't sound totally nuts, or if you see no problem with spending an entire 3hr radio broadcast enthusiastically fellating the limp cock of an orange dumbfuck, the problem isn't with us or our cslibrstioms

He said hurricane warnings are a liberal hoax, compared Obama to Hitler and Stalin and....
He is the dude who said for over a decade that we need to invade “x” country, pushed the war in Iraq endlessly and then a few months ago said he was against it.
Dude is dangerous and he said crazy shit like I mentioned above. Unless you think hurricane warnings are a liberal hoax...
dude almost everyone in the US wanted the wars in ME for no fucking reason. Glad we have the internet today to dissent against blatant propaganda shit today
Oh man, no. I work with my ultra-conservative republican uncle and he listens to Limbaugh religiously. The guy has gone completely off of his fucking rocker recently, like conspiratard level insanity. Beck seemed downright reasonable by comparison.
It's going to be gold. Tbh I still don't buy the Alex is nuts thing. I can only assume he intends to try and crowd fund his defense or something because even to a internetlolsuit expert like my self fairuse and stealing an image which you directly sell for a profit is clear cut. Infact you could argue that it's commercial copyright infringement.. which in theory could be actually criminal rather than just civil.
Even Gab, a "free speech social network" that serves as a safe space for such folks, features a frog in its logo.
CNN using "safe space" as an insult for a platform because it doesn't ban people the author dislikes is really something. It's not even an editorial, this is the news. It feels like mainstream media used to at least take on the appearance of objectivity, not read like an /r/politics commentator who got to write on a bigger platform.
Furie doesn’t have the financial wherewithal to sue Infowars.. I think the ADL might be the ones funding this anti-Pepe drive, cos up until 2016 Furie was pretty blasé about the Pepe meme and all it’s variations.
So does that mean Mcdonald's is going to sue matt for all of his infringement (he has some pretty creepy hamburgler fan art on deviantart that is very erotic.)

Text from article:
Pepe the frog, the once-innocent cartoon that was appropriated as a mascot of the alt-right, is at the center of a new legal battle. Matt Furie, the character's creator, is suing Infowars, the media company helmed by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. In the lawsuit filed Monday, Furie alleges copyright infringement
from a stylized poster sold on the Infowars website. The $29.95 poster features a depiction of Pepe alongside other MAGA "heroes" drawn by artist Jon Allen, including Donald Trump, Roger Stone, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ann Coulter and Jones himself. "The establishment wants this taken down,"
the description of the poster reads. "Instead, celebrate the historic victory and frame this conversation starter in your home!'' According to the civil complaint, "Furie did not authorize the use of the Pepe image or character in this poster, and does not approve of the association of Pepe with Alex Jones
or any of the other figures shown in this poster, or the 'MAGA' slogan." In an audio statement published on the Infowars YouTube channel, Jones calls the lawsuit "frivolous" and part of a larger attempt by media outlets to make Infowars "public enemy number one." "We did not create the posters, that are protected
speech, that are transformative," Jones says, stating the use of the frog in an item for sale "is 100% protected by the courts, protected by the First Amendment, protected by fair use." Furie has tried desperately to rescue his laid-back frog from the swamp of alt-right and neo-Nazi troll patois, even going
as far as "killing" the character in a 2017 cartoon. However, like the Hydra (both Lernaean and Marvel-esque), the beheading of the chief Pepe has only resulted in more spawn, as both the cartoon and general frog imagery live on in alt-right and white nationalist circles.
Even Gab, a "free speech social network" that serves as a safe space for such folks, features a frog in its logo. Furie's lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and a permanent injunction against any further copyright infringements regarding his beleaguered creation.

the beginning of it was when he was fired from cnn, then he was hired by foxnews, had his own hour long show.. over his tenure there, he was getting more and more psychotic and eventually fox fired him then he really seemed to lose it.
I really didn't pay much to the drama that ensued save for laughing whenever I heard bits and pieces of it.
then, during the 2016 election he was first pro-trump, then changed to being pro-hillary, after trump won he changed back to being a libertarian and hating trump.
I think he still has a talk show on a.m. radio, every once and a while on past road trips I'd find his show.. he sounded more unhinged than limbaugh, if that's even possible.
