#caseact — Public Fediverse posts

By the way today is #chickensandwichfreedomday !

The day we celebrate our right to make, eat sell, hyperlink to and talk about online[1] and remix Chicken Sandwiches! Thanks to the end of the 1st Cir court case, 2015 ( Norberto Colón Lorenzana, et. al. v. South American Restaurants Corp., et. al. )[17][18][19], we can enjoy a moist chicken sandwich without worrying that we've infringed on Intellectual Poultry [IP] rights of some phasianidae troll, presuming our guilt in infrigning their supposed rights whether or not we actually make a sandwich they don't approve of[24].
We don't have to worry about the fediverse being shut down, because some spinster made a sammich some CRTC in toronto[11] doesn't approve of[2], and we don't have to worry about facing jailtime or other stiff penalties for eating a sandwich the CRTC doesn't approve of[9] and the federal government doesn't have to lie[10] to cover up the threats to our rights to enjoy a flavourful bite of chicken, bread, mayo, tomato and lettuce. We don't have to worry about going to jail, because we've beaten the Technical Protection Measures keeping us from making sandwiches and learning how to make sandwiches[3] perhaps embedded in a chicken or something. We don't have to worry about sandwich making assistance software being auto-marked by law as a "threat"[4] by antivirus software. We have an argument to make to the Youtube Union independent arbitration panels[5] when NSA/Alphabet Youtube demonitizes or deletes[12] our videos/channel due to showing our audience on our cooking video. We don't have to worry about whether it's legal to making sandwiches for our kids[7], and we can cultivate our recipes to suit their modern tastes[28].

We don't have to worry about the art of sandwich making being locked behind paywalls, accessible only through JStor/Elsevier's permission[8] and getting banned on twitch[14] for streaming a live chicken sandwich making speedrun video. We don't have to worry about sharing our sandwiches[15] since the #CASE / #CASEAct doesn't apply to them, and chicken sandwiches are exempt[16] from the DMCA. You can make public git repos of tools to help you make chicken sandwiches without having to worry about it enough to use image steganography techniques[21]. We don't have to move people onto proprietary platforms, away from chicken-sandwich-freedom-respecting ones because of some ill defined notion of progress[22]. We can rest assured that in each province in the confederation, and quebec, we can enjoy such carby proteiny deliciousness[23]. We don't have to worry about our political representatives being silenced because they made the wrong sandwich[27]. We don't need NeuralLinks' permission to taste the freedom[29]. We don't have to worry about our websites or other spaces being sized because we made the wrong sandwich[30]. We don't have to fight a war for our right to share food with friends[30].

While we still have to worry about bill gates getting an effective monopoly on chickens[13], if we purchase said chickens from his farms, we can make them into sandwiches at our leisure. Although full of carbs, you don't *have* to be guilty of enjoying eating a chicken sandwich for the sake of some primadona who feels that your hunger is about them[20]. Which is good because the world is a big place, and a chicken sandwich illegal in one country, will probably be 'harmonized' elsewhere[26]

We can just make a chicken sandwich, sit back, relax, and enjoy it. So today is the day, where all people with enough freedom to do this, enjoy this freedom by making a chicken sandwich, and eating it. If possible, given covid, to share with others[6], and have a conversation over it.
