Good to know VGA and parallel port devices are safe.

Nah, they'll just sue you if you're using VGA instead of HDMI since it obviously means you are trying to crack DRM and thus running afoul of DMCA.

Everyone loves listening to their favorite purchased movie while watching a black screen

Nuh-uh, sound has to go over HDMI as well. You may only partake in your own culture through DRM-approved channels.

This got me thinking, could you still get an abortion in the bad parts of the US if you trademarked your DNA, and claimed that the condom breaking violated DMCA?

You know, show up at the doctors with a ton of papers headlined

CEASE AND DESIST

Or at least get child support out of Durex?

I think you've taken the long way around to becoming a sovereign citizen

I sometimes do drink myself to sovereign citizen. Unlike most of those people, I do get sober the next morning.

More worryingly, I wonder if a male can force a pregnant woman to have an abortion using that logic.

ESL person question here - isn't "male" used as an adjective more than a noun? If you used "pregnant female" as a counterpart, it would sound weird to me, like we were talking about rabbits, not people.

As an enby who was assigned male at birth, there's a decent chance my penis could get somebody pregnant. I'd rather be referred to as a male than a man or a father. They're all quite unappealing and untrue terms, but male is the most true out of them. I could have used the word seeder, but that's less well known.

I understand, then male would mean "people with a penis"?

by some definitions male refers to the sex, rather than the gender.

Maleness is a complex many-faceted social construct unifying a set of correlated patterns in genetics, endocrinology, musculoskelature, reproductive biology, and possibly neurology. I'm mostly not male, but I do have the parts of maleness that relate to producing and delivering semen, and it might even be fertile.

Do really want to get an abortion from the last qualified person left to give it in one of the dumbass states‽ Plus they're probably out of practice.
