Good luck trying to enforce the GPL against a Chinese company
- caminanteblanco 10mo agoWell it looks like insulet is the primary offender here, and Nuu (the Chinese company) is just the hardware manafacturer
- themafia 10mo agoAn actual good use case for tariffs.
- viccis 10mo agoNot really.
- themafia 10mo agoYou can tariff a single company.
- immibis 10mo agoThe normal response to a company importing illegal products is to seize them at the border, destroy them, and, optionally, send the importer a big fine. This is already an established process.
- themafia 10mo ago> importing illegal products What's "illegal" about these products? > send the importer a big fine. And that gets paid? > This is already an established process. And has it ever been used for /civil/ software GPL violations?
- viccis 10mo agoOr you could just prevent the goods from being sold, rather than making the American tax payer foot the bill for that company's crime.
