And which federal entity will over see this? Considering it's a Communications service, perhaps a Federal Communications Commission? We have one. Have you seen what they've been up to? What's the likelihood this policy would

"...they wouldn't risk lawsuits for shady tactics." This sounds like you don't do business often (with US corporations?) They're hoping more people like you just let it ride. That's how they're making mone

"...releasing a cover without permission...is not ok." I have to disagree with this. And it's already allowed with Compulsory Licensing. The writer of the song gets their cut as specified in the law. As to the rest of your co

Since we can't continue the older discussion, I'd like to comment here on the new thread. I'm discouraged by the topmost thread. In every case of (anecdotal?) experiments, the researcher was attempting repeatability with the

So the author wasn’t preventing a thing, but relying on the operator of the system to observe the list and behave correctly.

It's not the author's job to prevent use of his software by specific individuals as deemed by the US government. It is, however, any citizen's responsibility not to break the law by sending or carrying stuff outside the US. A

2018 - 18 = 2000 Maybe 1999 since the fact that it's 2018 is still maybe too fresh to have imprinted on many minds. Maybe 2001 since GP says "nearly 18 years."

"...they were trying to jail Phill Zimmerman for writing PGP." Writing it or exporting it? Sure, their motivations may have been due to the former (is there even documentation for that?), but IIRC the technical reason was that,

Eliminating legislation against municipal broadband is certainly a good thing. But I'm curious why some enterprising residents haven't created a company to do what a Public Open Access Network would do: build out the infrastructur

When has that ever been the case? The FCC doesn't build anything. If you're worried about the federal government paying private companies to build out such a thing, take a look at the first decade of the current century where taxp

There is some old "baggage" that you'll necessarily need: written procedures; the experience of, uh, experienced medical staff; and patients' histories. If you can bring those along without polluting the new system, you

The same way telemarketers fake phone numbers. More surprising to me is that the deeper routing data (as in, the real source of the call, which the phone company necessarily has) is not available. I understand that you want to allow anonymo

As we approach the limit (of zero) that tail will just continue to get longer and longer. And by “indefinite” I do not mean “forever.” I mean that there’s no definite date that the ‘mainframe industry‘ will end— IBM hasn’t published any roa
