I don't ride either anymore, but it's not that hard to just cover the horn while you're around more dicey situations. I loved my CBR500 because it actually sounded like a car horn.

Yeah basically. But part of why no one has tried again is because the judge made it very clear he wasn't going to just roll over and let them pull their BS. Including setting a bond of $600k for them to even try litigating it. Another part of it is that ISPs used to hand out IP addresses and PII in response to requests from media companies. This was found to be in breach of privacy laws and now those companies would have to apply for court orders, proving malfeasance, to get that information.

I mean yes, those numbers are fairly low because they're designed to keep the sports sustainable in the Australian market.

Even if the cap were €100 million, that would still be a lot fairer than a free-for-all.

Potentially, but that doesn't really matter, as you can match the signatures of the two versions and see that they are the same. You cannot fake that and have one version have different code, it's not possible.

Scroll down and there's a section about Australia on here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_Buyers_Club

Basically, they fucked it up so bad in Aus no one's ever tried again.

See then you have the whole thing in the US where the local TV market, including streaming services, won't allow you to catch a game playing at a local stadium. It's called a blackout, I guess to encourage you to go in person. Basically those services only make sense if you don't follow a local team, or you watch a bunch of other games each week.

As an Australian I genuinely find European football salaries obscene and a bit disgusting tbh. Over here both of our major codes of football, NRL (rugby) and AFL (aussie rules) have had salary caps since the late 80s. It's not something implemented per player, but instead for the total roster of a club. The point is to make the competition fairer and well, more interesting, because you don't have all the good players concentrated into a few super clubs. In 2022 it was $13.5m for AFL clubs and $10m for NRL clubs. As well, if you breach it you generally don't get to earn points on the ladder until the following season. If you did it in the past, won a premiership and it's discovered, the title will be stripped.

Could I ask what the first time was?

I wouldn't be surprise if it were only Germany, due to the whole cultural guilt around WWII...

The assignment was to create a meme, so are you going to upvote it or do you want OP to get an F??

It might have literally just been the direction of "and post it to social media" and you needed to prove that with a screenshot/link?

A documentary about the first Mardi Gras parade in Sydney, Australia. I found a copy of this earlier in the year and posted it on archive.org. Content Warning for police brutality.
