    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 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.
