It's pretty much impossible for Amazon to tell whether an item is a licensed use of a copyrighted creative work or not. It's perfectly legal to resell work that was legally bought with no additional permission from the…
My local recycling program no longer accepts almost all plastic recycling due to China blocking shipments because what they were getting from plastic container loads were too contaminated. No thanks!
I've been following some friends' travels through southeast Asia over the last six months via Instagram, and it's been great. Seems like they're having a great time, and I like being able to talk to them about what…
