today i got into a bloody, bloody fight with my boss about someone who does sweet fuck all for the whole day but is protected by the trade unions. i don't want to do his job (especially because i'm paid for other stuff), but my boss doesn't want to stick for me until the end because of the unions. FUCK.

Claudia: I don't understand shit about capitalism, but can't you talk to those trade unions (whatever they are.. i assume they're larger organizations than banks) about that person?

NF- Frustrated. Ready for a long, complicated story? Anyway, my dad works a shitload at his job. From ten in the morning until ten at night. When he's on these long working sprees I don't get to spend a lot of time with him, so I distance myself and for some reason, I feel kind of happier. Now, sometimes he has a day off and I get to spend time with him, which kicks ass. Then when he goes back to work, I feel like shit and have this mortal fear of him dying (which is highly likely because every once in awhile, he gets robbed because he owns a restaurant. For instance, he was robbed last Monday.) Basically, I'm frustrated because when I distance myself from him, I feel ok all around for a long time. When I spend time with him, I feel really happy for a short period of time, but then like shit... Ehh whatever I'm done, I'll get over it.

Zack: Maybe (and i don't know shit about you and your father, so that's a big, big maybe) you're happier because you don't really feel close to him. If that's the case, why don't you try talking to him or spending more time with him, even on workdays? And that sucks that he's robbed every so often; i wish i could say something that would solve that, but unfortunately it's not within my power. I hope you feel better now, though. If there's anything i can do, mate, i'm here.

NF: I'm not ashamed. How can i be with you, given what you are, what this means? Time seems so insignificant, tears seem so trivial. The moon drags on as we whisper the night away, and all seems frozen. A myriad poems have been written and a million voices have sounded, but 'tis meaning, not substance, that matters. Yes, my romantic side has been revived.

Whoa, now everyone can order printed photos of every photobucket account. It´s a new "service" called "Print it". Users pay money to a photobucket-related company for this. Someone explain to me how that does not clash with copyright law. Especially as photobucket has on their user terms: "You cannot use someone else´s image without getting permission from that person first. Using the image without permission can be considered Copyright Infringement".
And what exactly is that, if they make money from printing out other people´s photos and selling them?

you don´t have to believe me, you can see for yourself. You just open your own album and then one of the options is "Print it". You can even follow through the whole process to see how it works, without ordering in the end.
I wrote to them to ask:
"Hi,
how come that you can combine this statement "You cannot use someone else's image without getting permission from that person first. Using the image without permission can be considered Copyright Infringement" with "Print It" So that this company Qoop can make money from someone ordering my photos without that I have permitted it?
Kind regards,
(..)"
Answer:
"Dear (..)
That is a very good question. You do have the option to keep your account private and therefore unviewable to anyone but you and the people you permit to see it.
Users who choose to have public accounts do indeed risk having their images printed.
Thank you!
Your Photobucket Support Team"
But the point here is, that I don´t mean to keep these pics private in general, they can be saved or printed out if someone wants to hang a rockstar-photo over their bed. But still, no-one should be allowed to in general be able print out other people´s pics and earn money from this. Photobucket is very weird about it, since it counteracts their own laws and yet they have this built-in feature now.
It would be the same than someone selling copied CDs, as they are not kept private either. Just because it´s accessible it doesn´t meant that you can make your own business from other´s stuff.
It would be okay to modify this feature, that upon each order, an automatic request would be send to the photo-owner first, and the order could only be fulfilled when this person agrees.
