Because that's not true. Pirates get very upset that 4K Netflix webrips often take weeks or months as hardware keys have to be burnt.

Indeed. FIDO need to officially step up and apologise for those comments if they want any trust whatsoever here.

They were only 600ft in the air, barely anything would have got out before they hit the ground and you'd have just set non-zero amount of innocent people on fire in all likelihood when the crash ignited the trail they'd left. Ther

There are literally dozens of successful legal actions against people illicitly making copyright claims on YouTube.

The Berne Convention has been modified multiple times, including by the WIPO Copyright Treaty, which incorporates a requirement for all signatories to implement an anti-circumvention law. https://www.wipo.int/treaties/e

Every country has an anti-circumvention law in the EU. It is a condition of membership. Not that that makes Doctorow's argument any better or make any more sense.

It depends on the territory, there's no pan-Europe regulation on it. Even when the UK was in the EU sympathy strikes were illegal (to a much greater extent than the US).

You would effectively have to exit all international copyright law treaties to do so, which is defacto removing any international recognition of copyright for works from your country.

Every mobile phone manufacturer does the same thing and it isn't doing any of them any harm.

I think it's very unlikely they would be a problem for the manufacturer in the event of the consumer making modifications which the packaging is very clear that you should not make, or for the facilitation of illegal acts. Put it this

They don't need to - the court will take it out of their wages or be edits before they receive them. You have to actively try to defraud the court by lying about your earnings to face prison.

There's a heck of a lot more to do with the Quest at this point, as it actually has a software library. Developers don't actively trust Meta, but at least get some impression Meta want them to develop things. Apple considers devel

Probably, but we'd be in a pretty terrible security place without modern hardware based cryptographic operations.

Nope. Developers are free to include no payment mechanism in the app that would involve an iAP, and tell people to click to go to the website (which can open an in app browser window).

by Mindwipe 1y ago
I already don't trust Apple's payment systems. This is unambiguously a win.

A class action lawsuit from other developers is inevitable, at least for the time period where Apple took the money after the judgement.

I mean, if Apple were ever serious there would be a way to have applications installed on iOS without having to tell Apple. They were never serious.

Haidt's history is exactly why nothing he writes can be taken seriously. He's a noted grifter with many years of making stuff up.
