Pretty much none of these are true in every country in the world outside the US - broadly states pay a royalty to authors for library loans, radio stations pay literally billions to play music on FM, fair use is replaced by very specific, l

Meh, Google know that nobody would pay for that as a selling point when it only applied to a third of videos, and they will never get copyright clearance from third parties for more than that.

YT-DLP can import cookies to bypass the signed-in user issue. It has to as many videos in the EU require credit card age verification to access.

The main reason is that it hits their CDN cache efficiency a bit, which costs money, and it's another set of key management systems to look after and operate and at YouTube's scale you want to minimise them as much as possible. It

Widevine has been a mandatory requirement for any OEM pre-installing YouTube for something like seven years now. There is not much out there that Google would care about EOL access for.

Well DataCorp are about to lose that case very badly. Lol. Their attempt to claim channels full of TV content are not covered by copyright is bonkers.

The UK has already done this for a decade and it's completely ineffectual.

Facebook groups have an option to permit anonymous posts, on the basis the group moderator can handle the tidal wave of bad that will probably happen. Of course, you're not anonymous on the back end, just publicly.

Yes, but the role seems to primarily involve working on ML as part of Netflix's recommendation engine and pulling out insight from customer data, rather than anything to do with generative AI. It's misleading at best, actively dis

If we can find one with the right material properties it makes long distance movement of power generation much more plausible and economical. Which would enable us to put a lot of solar power in the desert and move it around effectively to

The battle is already lost legislatively. Multiple US states, France, Germany and the UK are going to make the web unnavigable unless you type your credit card number or scan your face for age verification in two out of every three sites. W

Losing half a percent of your traffic to get rid of 80% of spam, malware and DDOS attacks is pretty much always worth it and good business.

It did make me laugh in the other threads when people were saying "Safari will save us!" Like the only chance of Apple not doing this is if they were deliberately trying to sabotage web apps.

It's very hard to see how RIPE could not revoke them. They might not have much of a process, but that doesn't mean they couldn't invent one. And if the argument is that you could undertake legal action to get them not to do t

Sites will just stop trusting that as an attester. Anyone can write their own EME plug in that writes the files to disk. But it won't have the keys of any trusted module, because the reason sites trust them is because they don't d

It affected Spotify enough to engineer a solution to stop it. And five years isn't "fairly recent". One would also note Spotify is a failing business, and it was failing even harder then.

Apple in no way abandoned FairPlay. Every file on Apple Music, and iTunes Match is protected with it. And those greatly outnumber transactional sales through the iTunes store, by an order of magnitude. The customer picked the DRMed version,

That's why desktop chrome is served lower resolution content than, say, Safari, where they can block it.

Not really. The general standard length of protection (life plus 70 years) is from Germany for example.
