[Joe Cool]

4. The subject title tells you exactly what's in it.

17. Joe Cool ...........Thank you! n/t

10. Absolutely understandable, but this particular pdf was able to be read without allowing any ...

... JavaScript programs to be run, so it's safe (as long as you don't allow any JavaScript programs).

It's a letter from Dr. Dre. to MTG to Cease and detest playing his music when she's campaigning. I LITERALLY put what the post was about in the title of my post.
.
I tried to cut and paste the letter but it wouldn't allow me to.

I agree with what another DU'er posted earlier about the frustration regarding people posting without referencing the subject so I want to be sure that I do so.

..........Don't know what to tell ya...

37. Thanks

for the link - you're right, cut and paste are not an option, but you should be able to get a snapshot. Some browsers make that simple, but if not, you should still be able to get a snapshot using the "Prnt Scrn" key, with or without another key, depending on how new your operating system is.

But. as I said to another poster, I couldn't read the screen shot, because DU's post areas are not wide enough to make it big enough for me, so I do appreciate the link. If you post both the shot and the link, you have the best of both legibility and provenance.

14. Exactly what the OP title says is in it.

[Upthevibe]

18. enough ..........Thank you! n/t

[Celerity]

26. I suggest you edit your OP and use my snapshots of the letter in it

here they are

[Celerity]

23. here is the letter via snapshot, I have no idea why posters don't just take snaps

[soldierant]

35. Perhaps they are thinking of people like me

who can't possibly make out enough of a snap to read it.

But, yes, a snap and a link would both help me and provide provenance for the document.

There are many things I cannot bring over on my $100 purchased phone with $45/mo access to the internet.

43. phones can take screenshots

To capture a screenshot on an Android phone or tablet, press the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously. When it works, you will hear a capture sound and see a screenshot preview at the bottom left of the screen, where you can tap on it to edit or share.

[UnderThisLaw]

29. My guess

is that it’s a letter from Dr Dre to Majorie Taylor Greene to cease and desist using his copyrighted material

[Upthevibe]

31. UnderThisLaw ....

Yep. I guess your guess was because I posted it in the subject line!!!

[niyad]

3. You can quote up to four paragraphs.

[Joe Cool]

7. Or if someone doesn't want to read the letter

they don’t have to
open the link. Their loss.

[niyad]

11. It is extremely poor form to imply that your failure to actually post the letter, or any

significant part if it, is somehow the responder's issue. Do better.

[enough]

15. For heaven's sake, don't read it. "Do better?" What are we in here?

[Upthevibe]

19. enough... Thanks again! n/t

[Upthevibe]

20. niyad.............

I posted the link!!!

And, I said in the subject line what it was about. I was finally able to cut and paste some of the letter. YOU effing do better!!!!

[barbtries]

22. if you opened the link

you would know that it wasn't an option.

[Quakerfriend]

5. That is excellent! n/t

[Joe Cool]

8. Pretty much says MTG

is a complete imbecile without saying she is a complete imbecile.

[Conjuay]

28. Na,

I think it kinda told her’s a complete idiot right to her face.

Now all we need is someone to read it to her.

[Upthevibe]

32. Conjuay..............

Good one!

[Joe Cool]

33. You said what I said

but used idiot instead of imbecile.

[malaise]

9. KaBOOM,!

Fabulous indeed.Rec!

16. Some of the letter re: Dr. Dre. to MTG re: cease and detest that I was able to cut and paste.

I was able to find some of what the letter says to allow me to cut and paste.

, “Mr. Young [Dre] has not, and will never, grant you permission to broadcast or disseminate any of his music,” and adding, “We’re writing because we think an actual lawmaker should be making laws not breaking laws, especially those embodied in the constitution by the founding fathers.”

In a separate statement, Dre wrote, “I don’t license my music to politicians, especially someone as divisive and hateful as this one.”

[barbtries]

21. i love that letter.

let's not mince words. I know we'll probably never know whether or not she acknowledges it, but if she keeps using the song, hopefully we'll see the criminal complaint and civil lawsuit.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

24. That was freaking awesome (nt)

[ismnotwasm]

25. Yeah, she tried to snap back and ended up sounding like even more of a dumbass.

This is great, I’m enjoying it.

[progressoid]

27. Delicious!

[Joinfortmill]

34. Good.
