remember, regardless of how outspoken you are in life, nothing will stop the capitalists from reanimating your defiled corpse into a shitheaded centrist zombie if there’s a buck in it:
“I’d just like to say that as much as I think billionaires are destroying the fabric of society with unchecked greed and blatant self-interest at the expense of basic human rights for everyone else, it is a little strange to me that people get mad at them. People are the ones who gave them the money in the first place," the AI Carlin said.
(editor’s note: the above is supposed to be a joke from the comedy special these fucking assholes hijacked Carlin’s corpse to promote. I can’t find the punchline, but it’s supposed to be a joke)
Meh, the family sold off the rights. The content is fantastic, they did a good job and it was in line with content he’s done.
given Kelly Carlin is dead against this, can you cite this
At some point the rights were sold or they’ll get paid 🤷♂️
It was Carlin or whoever he gave ownership of his IP.
so, basically, you pulled that thing directly from your arse.
yeah that’s great thanks
I want to point out that even the extremely fluffy linked article mentioned these jackasses have previously gotten into legal trouble for using Tom Brady’s likeness (of all people) for standup without permission, and now that Kelly’s strong objections have come out it even got updated with a bunch of those, including:
but the esteemed poster in question decided to ignore all evidence to the contrary and went straight for spreading obvious misinformation instead. why was that the move?
It’s not at all like Carlin’s work. Remember that Carlin was a master of rhetoric, and his presentations were meant to persuade the audience to agree with him. Sarcasm was not typically one of his tools, because he knew that sarcastic statements would be taken at face value. Carlin would not have sarcastically talked about billionaires as a product of everyday consumerism, but he did talk about how consumerism is produced by billionaires as part of their overarching societal influence.
Your punishment is to relisten to Carlin’s “big club” rant.
you think code is law, don’t you

can you link what you’re seeing showing that Carlin’s family was aware this was going to happen? cause his daughter definitely doesn’t seem to have been in on it
did it though?
@LemmyIsFantastic @self have you bumped your head?
