I forgot about the Rolling Stone 500. I got it from some other website. I think it was a blog.

If they don't want you to copy stuff, they should block you from copying it. I know they do that with some things.

I don't know if my changes will make this okay again. I assume if not the automated system will tell me again.

Just be careful with copyrighted stuff. Provide links to where you got the list if possible (I'm not sure if that makes copying and pasting things makes it okay, but it might).

I think a key is that lists shouldn't have stuff that a robot can identify as probably being from somewhere else, like the episode codes I took out of the Simpsons and McCoy lists.

They should just seem like a series of words like any other.

I guess it's also possible that the Robot has one or two of these lists saved in it's memory and knew they were copied.

If it gets notified again than we'll just have to get rid of it again and see if I can figure out what is setting it off.

Maybe it's the Rolling Stone list, we got the notice on Monday, it was posted on Monday.

oh my god... don't get me started on Rolling F..king Stone Magazine....
the translations collective I founded does all stuff for free under the Creative Commons and Fair Use copyright laws. One of our German translators did a translation of one of their articles and the next week we get the letter from their licenser in London that we have to settle for rights violations. Long Story Short... they accepted that we "only" take the article down, however they had calculated the losses they felt they accrued due to our article (which was on about 5 sites that used our version) and they mentioned that if these sites did not take it down, we would still be culpable! I think in 4 years, this is the only time this has happened!

McSweeneys, why don't I read more of that...

It made me think of John Hodgman's list of Hobo names, which led me to discover.

A few more recent McSweeney's lists:

ELEVEN THINGS ONE SHOULD NEVER SAY WHILE CLIMAXING WITH A NEW LOVER.
BY ADAM SKALMAN
- - - -
1. "Please don't let them send me back to prison!"
2. "Only three more until my thetan becomes Clear!"
3. "Put the lotion in the basket!"
4. "You're not my real mom!"
5. "We are going to be the most amazing parents!"
6. "Remember, I was never here!"
7. "I'm a Libertarian!"
8. "You will live to regret this!"
9. "It was Earth all along!"
10. "I was the one who took your Criterion Collection DVD of The Royal Tenenbaums from its case, replacing it with Disc Nine of that Ken Burns documentary on tintype pornography. I am not sorry I did it!"
11. "Can you move a little to the left? You're ruining my shot!"

SIGNS THIS FILM IS NOT YOUR BIG BREAK.
BY STEF WILLEN
- - - -
You auditioned in your bikini at La Salsa.
You're the star of an updated version of Little Red Riding Hood and have fallen asleep while on the phone with the director, who is running through the script, when you're startled awake by him saying, "...and then the wolf's cock piercing gets caught on your tongue ring."
The director comes to your house and takes a loud smelly dump in your toilet.
Your first scene is a night shot on someone's roof. When you question why there are no lights, the camera operator asks if you think the 7-Eleven down the street has flashlights.
Your character breakdown is "a bitch that dies."
You're at the director's apartment sitting in front of a stiff pour of Jack Daniels and discussing the script when he tells you how much you remind him of Jodie Foster. On your way to the bathroom, you discover his Jodie Foster "room."
You're running around Griffith Park barefoot wearing a bed sheet and splashing fake blood on a man in his boxers.
The director folds your headshot into fours and puts it into his back pocket.
