They're probably going to make the WTO enforce against countries with more liberal copyright regimes, but it must be said they'll need to crack on if they want to do so and several of the larger economies are politically gridlocke

It is extremely easy to differentiate between the two with a commercial VPN detection product rather than just someone's hobby proof of concept.

There are already lots of commercial products in the market that do this, much more effectively, with prepopulated databases sourced over thousands of businesses.

The idea that the current lengths of copyright law are anything to do with Disney is a nice fiction but it's not true. The US has the copyright terms they have is because they were obligated to match the EU's by international trea

My point is that Cloudflare should either scrap their family filters or stop lying.

Why are you comparing it to their gross profit and not to the rest of their costs which is what I said? Ultimately Spotify's staff costs are significant because they were throwing people at trying to make the podcasting business work,

> I'm not sure this is working that well for Netflix. Netflix is pretty much the only service that is profitable, so it is. Exclusivity works. Netflix made it work pretty well. Spotify can't.

Their workforce is a fairly small part of their costs.

by Mindwipe 3y ago
The whole point was to move into podcasts for exclusivity so they had something they could put behind a hard paywall to boost revenue - the music service will never be significantly profitable and will probably never be genuinely profitable

Spotify had one profitable quarter by fluke. It's not profitable.

No it wouldn't. The distribution businesses would still want to buy things exclusively from the production businesses. It would literally make no difference whatsoever.

That's because it was intended to show the music industry it wouldn't canibalise Spotify subs so Google could get cheaper music licensing, and it showed the opposite. So now ad free YouTube wil never be cheaper than Spotify/A

I think it's just a coincidence. The Kindle team has been gutted with job losses so almost everything non-core is being cut. This magazine business just never made anyone any money, so it's an obvious thing to cut.

There have been a lot of attempts to extort money out of the BBC by people falsely claiming that they have lost episodes over the years, they may simply not believe these claims are as credible as the article suggests.

Chrome for Linux is still 720p at best and I'd expect that to drop over time, not go up. Chrome isn't what's holding higher resolution Netflix back on Linux, it's the lack of a signed graphics driver by an authority that

Principle photography is done for this film, but it's effects heavy and there's nothing to suggest the effects work is anywhere near done, and releasing stuff also costs money. You seem to feel like this is a completed master sat
