Hit the nail on the head. Those suites of tools offered for existing vulnerable software is usually written for platforms and configurations that shouldn't be applicable to 99% of companies. It's like throwing gauze over an open w

US law shouldn't matter to us at all. We shouldn't need to know what a DMCA notice is. A copyright claim should be made in the host country's format applicable to their laws, that doesn't seem to be a reality to any of t

That's still a civil case in New Zealand. It's copyright infringement, you don't go to jail - you get sued and bankrupted. The fact he was making money from it doesn't change the court, he just gets sued for more (in thi

It's a different problem - I'm part of the Commonwealth. I could host it in a country that would ignore requests, but the point of the website is to do everything correctly. If I hosted my content in a country that doesn't

Not in my country, and I have no intention of hosting this outside these borders which could get me in legal hot water.

Funnily enough I operate a service to download copyright-expired content.. Only most of the content is still under copyright in the US. Early Elvis works seem to be very popular. I've banned all non-local IP addresses from the website

Does Stripe write about how they handle storing those requests/responses? Seems like this could get very expensive, very quickly.

AFAIK 5013C's are exempt in that case?

Blocker entities are purely for "bypassing my local laws and country from make sure I follow said laws". Sure, I understand the appeal - it's the equivalent of hiding a bag of cash somewhere and having a trusted third-party p

The data on places to incorporate are slowly becoming more and more open. Generally you incorporate off-shore for one to many of these three reasons: tax minimisation, privacy and corporation structuring. For most people, an LLC in New Mexi

This used to be true as they'd modernised their banking systems very early compared with many heavily-regulated countries and companies. However this is no longer the case, technology and platforms exist for similar speed and securit

That's only in the case where you're over-paid, or paid up-front - in which case you've been paid for a month, and if leaving in 2 weeks you'd only be paid for the time you worked. Very different to being liable for find

Unfortunately OS and Browsers never made the installation of SSL certs user-friendly. Also the requirement for a private key to be accessible by the PC we'd be using doesn't really help, generating OTP/keys on a separate devi

That's incorrect unless you're a company contracting to an organisation, in which case you signed a contract saying you're going to stay and do X for period of time, and if they have to stop and scramble because you left with

Yep. Same with the Apple crash character bug from a few weeks ago. Also when linking .EXE's and .SCR's, I didn't see any hits on the server. Facebook blocks direct linking to executable files, and usually does a HEAD request

Given more than 70% of ownership is by investors, I have to disagree. These aren't companies or people interested in Facebook's reputation among employees, they're interested in the stock price. Yes, it's beneficial to h
