Are there actually businesses who just use the normal windows updater? (Ignoring smaller businesses without IT departments for a second). I assumed the forced patching at boot/reboot was a consumer version thing? A unforeseen update fr

Theft is the wrong word, you are looking at copyright infringement. Not a moral judgment but simply the wrong term. There are no additional costs created at the producers site. The bars are having private licenses instead of those for publi

It doesnt have to be botnets. Proxylists are enough to enable that attack for almost anyone. Pornsites have had that problem for decades and their solution was captchas, which led to OCR on the attacker site which resulted in stuff like rec

I am hard pressed to see Athens from a few thousand years ago as a real case study, its simply to far out of our frame of reference. Switzerland in more recent history is a rather ugly counterexample to your theory. They had a referendum on

Its not as clear cut as you describe it, especially with the age limit. There are quite a few terminal kids who suffer unbearably and have for large parts of their lifes. Its not an easy topic, but the Netherlands as well as Belgium have in

I dont think that is the case, but it might be a regional or cultural difference.

Its not just about accidentally crossing the line but the possibility of bad intentions. Especially if there is a difference in power. University has the same problem. Never be alone in a room with a female student you have to grade is real

And not having your seatbelt on puts you in a better situation if your car is sinking in a lake. Doenst mean you shouldnt wear a seatbelt. Talking to the police is gambling with your life. You might get lucky you might not.
