One thing I don't quite understand - why didn't a second-hand diamond market form, if one could get diamonds so much cheaper that way?

Because in a lot of cases, when you split whites and Asians apart, it turns out whites are under-represented (e.g. at Google, at Harvard, at Yale..) That would raise too many questions.

If I add notes to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat, did I add the notes, or did an Adobe product do it? What if I do it with Google Docs, in the cloud? Then it's not even on my machine.

But the users aren't selling the generated text. And Amazon is only providing a service that lets the users do the conversion, much like Google Docs lets users edit documents.

by deogeo 7y ago
Well, it's selling a speech-to-text service, that the user applies to speech they own a license to. Why should the legal interpretation differ, just because of where the conversion happens? It could be done locally, or remotely, or loc

But allowing a user to convert between text and speech on their own device isn't selling the converted version. And if this conversion is done not locally, but via SaaS, that's just an implementation detail. I believe there&#x27

By this logic, when you buy a book, you'd need a special license to read it to your children. It's the exact inverse of speech-to-text - if one is forbidden, then so is the other.

But it's not an argument - it's giving context. The USA is not uniquely guilty of all the injustices in the world, and refusing to go along with this narrative should not be framed as an attack.
