How close it is does not matter.

They are making money off of him, they may be doing it out of fandom but that does not change the fact they do not have the right to do it.

it does seem to be Carlin's style of humor.

That is irrelevant.

It was not made by Carlin, it is not his work and he or his family did not consent to the production.

Slavery is the ownership of a person as property, especially in regards to their labour. - The Legal Understanding of Slavery: From the Historical to the Contemporary

I think the term is accurate.

They are using his image and work to create something new without his consent or the consent of his family.

What was the point?

Money.

Some also-ran hacks who aren't fit to be in the same room as Carlin are using him to make a name for themselves and drive views to their bullshit channel.

It is grift, pure and simple.

Carlin-McCall said the channel never reached out to the family or asked for permission to use her father’s likeness.

Welcome to the world of posthumous digital slavery!

When a person dies, anyone can do what ever they want with their image and life's work.

Spirituality speak:

People with little understanding of science in general and physics in particular using a word salad of physics concepts in order to sound profound.

Legally, not really. A username is also not a person.

This is a fishing expedition by the producers, nothing more.

From the article:

Another reason Reddit refuses to comply with the film producers' request is that “none of the posts depicted in Exhibit A to the subpoena appear to relate to movies that we understand are the subject of" the copyright infringement claims.

The users made no reference to pirating IP owned by the producers.

I got the same warning for the original link with ff as well.

Your comment link didn't throw up a red flag.

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

(unless you are an historian of the Anglican Church)

Why do you have to replace it?

Maybe use it as a way to cut down on screen time.

I have no socials on my phone. I mainly use it to listen to audiobooks/podcasts instead.

I might love a part and strongly dislike the other part of a post or comment.

That sounds like a comment in reply would be a better option.

Yes.

Is there any plastic that cannot shed nano-particles from its surface?

Our local library makes you log in to use the wifi, so theoretically they know who is doing it and the terms of use you agree to would probably cover them.

If you are using a VPN they wouldn't know what the traffic is and most public wifi has pretty strict usage caps so I doubt it would be worth your while.

If you use public wifi without a VPN...

Are they made of plastic?...

Yet another reason to quit buying so much bottled water...

Sock puppet says that the scammer can be trusted!

Details at 11.

Should get Vin as the spokesman and call it xXxvideo.

As a resto mod? Possibly.

As a modern EV? Never.

Neither closed source nor open source is a guarantee of a quality code base.

There are white hat (good person) as well as black hat hackers.

If everyone can see the source code, there are more eyes able to spot problems and fix them.

that.
