Unpopular Opinions and Truth

Plagiarism is a form of Copyright Infringement that has become wholly prevalent through the internet and a new case will rise through the court system to challenge this phenomenon soon

Listening is not the same as reading. Listening to an audio book does not count as reading a book.

A hack or infringer is someone who exploits other people's words, ideas, concepts verbatim or maybe otherwise without credit. For profit. True in jokes, literature, journalism, art, music, and podcasting

It does not apply to all phrases, thoughts, or ideas or anybody in particular. I'm just here thinking

This is not directed toward Fair Use, Parody, or Satire, all important aspects of copyright law and free expression and the U.S. Constitution, the greatest invention of governance on Earth

There are limits and exceptions, such as titles, which can't hold copyright; but this is a legal issue that will not be solved by AI

Human intelligence always wins in the long run; we are already near-perfect biological computers; the human brain is a marvel that we do not yet understand, nor will AI systems ever truly figure us out

Not that they ever thanked me for it, but all of my gifs for various articles, which have made millions of hits for voice nationwide, are still hotlinked embeds from my own blogspot account. meanwhile, they deleted all of my photos from their archives. very strange indeed. you're welcome

O. Henry Museum Austin, Texas - World Pun Championship 2024

O. Henry sidewalk ATX April 2024 - Jake Katel
 

Bet you never been to the O. Henry Museum in the Historic 6th St Area of Austin, Texas. 

Bet you never even heard of O. Henry other than the candy bar. 

Reason why is, that's all I knew either. Apparently the guy was a great writer who moved to Austin, Texas in the 1800s and changed history. I found this concrete writing of his while I was walking around looking for whatever I could find to take pictures of. 

O. Henry was an outlaw poet who met his wife at a bricklaying ceremony for the State Capitol of Texas. He worked at a bank and wrote stories on the side, then got busted for embezzling, ran off to Honduras, came back to see his lady, who died of Tuberculosis, and served five years in the penitentiary for his crime while still writing professionally from inside, using a mail drop and different pen names. Short stories. National magazines. When he got out, he moved to NYC, and that's where he got famous. But Austin still got love for the wily fox. 

His museum is the best kind. Free and outside. A park.

As it turns out, I have great timing. For the very O. Henry guy I speak of is actually the King of "One of Austin's oldest weird events," The Great American Pun Off. 47th annual. Happening May 11, 2024.

Famous Movie Location - Name That Movie

 

Jake Katel



Hint: Spiral parking garage ramp was the site of an epic cinematographic sequence in a fan favorite narrative feature action flick that you probably have seen if you like movies

Lenny, Flip, and Rickles - Typo Updated

Malcolm X was known as Detroit Red and Redd Foxx was known as Chicago Red. Little confusing. They were friends and running buddies in the early 1940s.


Typo corrected and updated in Lenny, Flip, and Rickles: Standup Comics in The Magic City

O Miami Copied My Ventanita Coffee Book, But Is It Plagiarism?

Email from Melody Santiago Cummings
Email from Melody Santiago Cummings offering me a deal for Ventanitas Of Miami

 

Cuban coffee, side of copycat. Order up. Millionaire literary foundation bites local author out of spite. But is it plagiarism? Short answer, maybe.

In 2017, I made history as the first ever self published author to be featured on the front page of the Miami Herald for my book of documentary photography and interviews about Miami coffee culture through the built environment’s many coffee windows. This made so many people jealous that they’re still trying to find ways to rip me off today.

Cuban Coffee Windows of Miami is my book of documentary photography and interviews all about the “ventanitas” of Miami.
