The trial had a $50 million award for the copyright violation.

That phrasing doesn’t give permission or remove the possibility of future legal action. Giving permission expressly removes that.

Regarding this part of your comment: > Fair use has absolutely nothing to do with this or any hypothetical like it. Yes, it does. The commercial effect of the usage is a factor in determining fair use, and that might distinguish a “show

While we’re on this tangent, you might want to check out the Zenimax vs. Oculus copyright judgement. Which I think is bullshit, but that’s the sort of thing I was worried about.

And here I thought you were the one pulling me into this tangent. If you have the time later I’d love to hear how you can legally infringe on a patent with clean room design.

by CheezeIt 5y ago
I’m linking Wikipedia to help you out. Clean room design doesn’t protect you from patents. That’s not how patents work, simple as that.

by CheezeIt 5y ago
No, it is directly to avoid copyright. It doesn’t protect against patents. Trademarks are irrelevant. What other form of IP is there? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design

The guy made a whole blog post attacking him. You shouldn’t defend yourself?

And maybe that’s the answer here. Or maybe the legal and moral boundaries don’t coincide. But the facts of the case haven’t changed, so there’s no reason you’d expect any genuinely held opinion to have changed.

Clean room design is a whole thing that people do, because of copyright. Maybe they don’t need to do that. If you want to quit the search team at Google and make your own search company, I’m not against that, but you should expect scrutin

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a competing company or open source when it comes to the question of whether IP got stolen, unless you want to make a novel fair use argument.

I don’t see any reason why an ex-employee should expect a happy outcome when they create an open source “clone” of their employer’s product. Personally I have been in this situation as an ex-employee, where I was generally interested in th

> You still are saying the intern is wrong, which isn’t good. That’s a good thing. That’s what happens when you have integrity. There is no reason to change his position on the subject of ex-employees making clones of the product.

This is super obvious to anybody comparing fertility rates over time and between different ethnic and religious groups.

The chart you linked says your numbers are wrong, and between those two years there’s about a 6-7% increase in fatalities per mile, with even larger fatality numbers in the years in the middle. If you don’t have a dog in this hunt why are y

It’s actually really easy. Colorado marijuana legalization happened in 2014, not last year. So why are you looking at last year’s change?

Well, okay. I guess we’d have to read their minds to resolve this question. They might be less afraid of consequences for getting caught with weed, or caught while high, it being “just” a DUI.

by CheezeIt 5y ago
Yes it did. Traffic deaths in Colorado have grown much faster than the population and much more than the national rate, since legalization.

It has to occupy space in your brain. In an ideal world, if you want to make a job posting, you just put up the job posting. Instead, now in Colorado you have to make sure you do it right, or else — this is the crazy part — you get punishe
