Of course you do (GP is wrong) at least for media which you create that clears the threshold for copyright. The difference is that Disney grants license to its content after (potentially drawn out) negotiations and payments, while the typic

Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't this only a problem if you migrate your domain DNS away from DO and forget to also change the nameserver with your registrar? So of course, if you tell the world "These guys over th

I'm hesitant to participate in IPFS in the context of libgen. Torrenting copyrighted materials (especially if you are distributing) can be quite expensive in some jurisdictions and I do not believe that IPFS is treated different than r

The estate as the copyright holder (in most cases) can pull down the videos if they like. YouTube is not obligated to host and serve content for free forever. As many other big tech companies they have a very strong position in the market (

I´ll confess that I did not expect that and am happily surpsied.

Alternatively, is there a way to license music for streaming on twitch? At least for professional streamers, that would make sense and it could align their goals with those of the music industry.

I'm not quite up to date, was it passed since 2018? I remember it being delayed quite a bit. My Google-Fu has proved insufficient.

In many jurisdictions arbitration clauses for consumers cannot be binding and can neither prevent them to sue in court. Check your local laws.

But why would Github pick this fight for youtube-dl. As an open source project they do not pay anything (I assume). Furthermore Microsoft dedpends on good relations with the RIAA and other entities from the rightsholder community and youtub

I can wholeheartedly recommend his channel. In particular his recent "Lockdown Math" series taught me a lot. I knew and used trigonometric functions and exponentials before but they never really "clicked". Grant is a tre

We use Hetzner at work and it's really competative for getting cheap VMS. Now if only they would start offering managed K8s and enable us to switch from $US-BASED provider.

If I understand it correctly this project aims to build common standards / data exchange methods between different providers all on a foundation that follows European privacy principles.

I guess I'm lucky that this particular problem is not one that bothers me much. My playlists tend to be a) quite short ~30 songs I listen on repeat until the mood changes and / or work requires a different rhythm and b) are not th

I really love this blog (and support the author on Patreon). His writing falls a little bit more on the academic side but is still entertaining and easy to follow (although quite some time is required ;) ). What I like in particular is that

a) That would kill the EU in an instance. Most people don't identify with the Bloc, they do with their countries and language is such an important fact of that. b) The EU has exactly as much power as their member states (which are sove

Neither online marketing nor "Social" Networks will ever be gone from this world. If Facebook is replaced by the next thing, it just means that the data is not longer officially siphoned off to the NSA but only to local agencies.

Can't read the article (paywall), but if this is in a public court filing wouldn't Facebook paint the future in the bleakest colors possible? I assume after the election in November the EU and the US will try to negotiate a new da

Yes, that's true. Nevertheless its a question society should at least discuss (and the conclusion may very well be that it is too great of a burden). Many regulations have different rules for different types of entities (e.g. for profi

I feel for you and am very sorry that you have to deal with it. In my experience as a web dev it's simply that the "market" of blind people is too small for many companies to justify the expenses. I work in a B2B shop which s

Uber was forced into compliance and AirBnB just lost a court case against them in Germany if I recall correctly that forces them to reveal some landlords to the local authorities.

Naah. BMW is (almost) a lost cause. They stuck to the "EVs will never be more than a niche market" even while the Moloch of "German Auto" VW started to invest heavily (around 2016 2017) and now has some nice offers in al

One Reason is that Teslas are large while Zoes are small. Then compact segment is very popular in general and Sedans are not. Teslas are also quite expensive. Even if you remove tarifs they are still on the higher side of what most people w
