That’s shitty. Guess I should spam my stuff more frequently.
How should he be defended?
I can see:
“Sentence Luigi for crime-ing illegally, and change the laws and boot the lobbyists and make necessary changes in accordance with what Luigi stands for so that one day it’s illegal to be a guy like Brian”
“Defending” the actual person who did technically violate a big law is kinda tough. I do hope, though, Luigi’s lawyers defend him and historical legal precedents are set in such a big way that we never need violence again (ya I’m an optimist ok)
Defending the idea of him, for sure - stop killing patients with pens just because nobody’s incentivized to stop you / you paid off anyone who would’ve stopped you!
well 1. he could be defended legally – it’s still not certain that he is even the shooter. The police and media have worked together and released lots of information on their side framing him as the criminal, but – not unlike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell – trial by media is not a verdict. Does the evidence hold up? All we have seen are pictures of the person of interest, pictures of Luigi, and statements that certain items were received. Without actual footage of the scenario, testimony, etc. it’s totally possible that things aren’t what they seem.
Major footnote yes!
How should he be defended?
Seems to me a matter of arguing that, a person put in a circumstance in which they endure immense and sustained, sometimes chronic pain, or loss; who is full aware that they are gatekept from a medicine, procedure or healthcare service which drastically ameliorates or outright prevents that suffering, in seeing the unneccesary cruelty for sake of some rich monster getting another yacht, and under immense anguisu, or grief may suffer a form of fugue state in which they cannot be considered to have acted of their own sound mind, but instead induced by the actor who by the pen created their suffering.
Give her a gofundme to fight this frivolous claim
Oh this is totally going to work.
and people are totally going to forget about all their dipshittery.
Zuck taking up for rich elites?! Say it ain’t so!
Oh look, they’re doing a Nintendo.
Nintendo’s next in line because his name’s Luigi
Not even us healthcare corps would fuck with Nintendo.
Hmm would nintendo go after UH if their fraudelent dmca damaged nintendos control of their copyright by weakening copyright law in the us?
Please, can we send nintendo at them like a rabid dog?
Except UHC doesn’t own a drawing of Luigi Mangione the way Nintendo owns Luigi Mario.
O’ Lawd they skeered.
streisand, have at it
Look how scared they are
I think filing a fraudulent DMCA takedown should be a felony and the ceo of the organization that filed is the presumptive fraudster unless he can prove that his employee filed it against his explicit order not too. Also, a DMCA notice should be invalid and ignored unless signed by the criminally responsible CEO.
Well, the justice department isn’t going to do anything about them, so maybe something else needs to be done…
Not sure which peaceful opportunities you’re referring to
Pieceful, as in “of pieces”, may be a bit closer to the mark here.
To shreds you say?
It is a felony. You have to submit a form under penalty of pujury. At least for YouTube.
I think filing a fraudulent DMCA takedown should be a felony
Isn’t it?
Not for corporations.
spoiler
If it isn’t clear, yes it is, but corporations can get away with it
Is it fraudulent or are we about to find out Satan himself finds UHC to be pure evil because they’ve trademarked/copywrite whatever CEO shooter images and Luigis image to profit off of this situation?
I would not for one second put it past them.
You can’t copyright the likeness of another actual person
With enough money, anything is possible.
No
Assuming that pops up again on another site, from the actual artist and not a Chinese or AI copycat, I would definitely buy like 5 of them just to have.
Someone didn’t learn their lesson.
Okay that’s an issue.
At this point it’s just censorship.
Fuck America and eat the rich
It’s funny that the CEO of this company was killed because UnitedHealth are a bunch of lying assholes who deceive people with promises of coverage, then don’t deliver, and they angered the wrong dude…
and now in response UnitedHealth are broadening their deceit with fradulent DMCA takedown notices.
They think more deception is the answer, because they don’t know anything else.
They’ve always hid behind the legal system, a system that protects capital. They’re just upset that there was an anomaly in the legal system meant to protect them, and now they’re pulling out all the stops, clinging to the legal system, wondering why it still allows people to even speak out against the corporatocracy.
Can we DMCA their shit? Seems fraudulent claims are piss easy to make and there’s no repercussions.
Yes. Yes you can. You can make any frivolous claim you like with (apparently) no repercussions. You can claim anything you like.
No, poor people can’t.
WTF? Of course they can.
Claims cost money. Backing up claims costs even more money. Poor people don’t have money to do these things.
I claim bankruptcy.
This is how you declare bankruptcy
That’s a bold move cotton, let’s see how that works out…
