The self cleaning public toilets in my city always play an instrumental version of What the World Needs Now Is Love.

It feels like it must be an inside joke of some kind. The song, without its singer or lyrics, is relatively unremarkable.

Copyright holders can issue a public license, its a unilateral document that states what people can and can't do with their work.

Its the core mechanism of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) where the offer is usually an open invitation to anyone who accepts the conditions.

But the same mechanism could be employed but only granting rights to a specific person.

Like ripping off a band aid.

It will hurt for a while and be old news by the end of July.

If you call yourself the Burger King in your kitchen, there's no trademark infringement there. However, if you start selling you food and calling yourself the Burger King, then that is a trademark violation. If you want to write Twilight fan fiction using the characters and story lines from the books, you're free to do so. There is no copyright violation. However, if you want to profit from your expansions to another author's work, you have to rename the characters and setting and call it "Fifty shades of grey".

I believe in must jurisdictions its the distribution that makes it an issue not the selling. If you started handing out your "Burger King" burgers in a public place I would expect to be shut down.

Its Trademark Law in Australia.

For example Cadbury has a trademark protecting its purple (defined as pantone 2685C) from competitors in the chocolate industry. On the other hand Whiskas has one protecting its purple (defined as CMYK {40% C, 100% M) from competitors in the cat food industry.

Because its trademark law both only cover their specific industries (so purple would be fair game for a business in another field), but despite the precise definitions used for the colours they would be able to argue that a competitor using a similar purple could cause confusion in consumers, (so they effectively block out an area of the color spectrum).

I believe its production budget was pegged at between $250m and $350m.

So this particular item in the marketing budget is less than 1% of the development costs.

I don't think the maths checks out

If in doubt I recommend looking at either Wikipedia or github for canonical links.

Revanced isn't big enough for a Wikipedia page but there github profile links to the official pages:

a condition with scab formation?

Ask them if unsure but my guess is they mean conditions like Haemophilia.

Also don't rely on their screening. I believe the test a performed on bundles of donations for efficiency and a bad donation may cause the others in that bundle to be discarded too.

A direct boycott of Amazon and its subsidiaries? Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

But boycotting services that happen to use Amazon? Impossible!

Any business may use products ordered from there. Your local toll gate may use AWS. Unless you are a major client nobody is going to let you audit their supply contracts.

and I know there are some games in the series,

That's the whole gene vs meme concept.

The same principal applies in that people who come after you can receive your ideas.
