…#Registration laws were originally intended as an inventory of noncitizens in the country, Morawetz said. But once govt officials obtained that info, they used it to aid the #detention of #Japanese Americans during WWII & #Muslims after the Sept 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Copyright madness: YouTube seems to doubt whether Shakespeare is in the public domain
One of the darker threads of Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) is how complex copyright enforcement systems can be abused, for example by sending Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown requests for material that is perfectly legal.

German number plate nerds, I summon you!
I'm trying to figure out the closest to a correct plate for 1990-2000 that can feature 'mama' in it.
