Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Why just condemn, can't they sue him?
MGMT sued the DHS for using their song Little Dark Age in their propaganda, interesting there's no stories about that.
Edit for context: The DHS Instagram account used their song in a propaganda video for ICE. MGMT nearly immediately publicly responded, and actually successfully got the video taken down. They then sued.
And you can't make this shit up, those running the account are either sociopaths with a dark sense of humor or utterly clueless, because a) The song is called Little Dark Age, written during and about Hitler-lite's first term, and they titled their video "The End of a Dark Age" and b) the section of the song they used goes: "Policemen swear to God, love seeping from their guns. I know my friends and would probably turn and run. If you get out of bed, come find us heading For the bridge, bring a stone, all the rage, my little dark age" and they are playing that over footage of masked, armed agents forcibly kidnapping citizens. And it's to make the agents and agency look good? It's fucking lunacy. How is that anything but a call to other psychos out there that if they sign up they get to kill hippies and wetbacks? Damn, I got too mad, I'm out.
Sounds to me like it’s on purpose, like it’s meant to intimidate and co-opting the artistic rebellion to taunt and take away hope. Reveling in the cruelty is also a draw for the US gestapo.
Or they’re just stupid. Or both.
So good on MGMT taking it back and saying “fuck you” to these weenie keyboard snowflakes.
You sure? I couldn't find any articles, so unless you have PACER access I think you may be misremembering
The publisher apparently refused to comment on a possible lawsuit so it seems like they might be preparing to
Yeah, first rule of a lawsuit, don't fucking talk to anybody. Don't give the defense anything to defend with.
It's not a binary thing; they can do both
Probably because that involves paperwork.
