They have tried to destroy the internet, remember yesterday? As long as they exist they will keep on trying and as an existential threat to the internet I can't see how anyone can excuse continued support for them in any way. Better a boyco

Piracy isn't as desirable as a straight boycott of the parties that are currently trying to break the Internet, but at least pirates aren't feeding the beast. Those companies deserve complete destruction for what they have done

I think copyright infringement by itself is unfair and impolite, but at a certain point, some organisations have taken action that probably realigns the hierarchy of acceptable behaviour when it comes to copyright infringement. Under no cir

I must say, after a whirlwind career of bashing android for all the wrong reasons it seems like the cognitive dissonance has reached a point where even his bullshit excuses were not acceptable to his internal meter anymore and this just com

There's no such thing as an unlocked iphone. I get what you mean, carrier unlocked, but the implication you can get one that is unlocked in the same way as an android phone can be unlocked is not true. And you're right, even in Australia if

Sure, but it's tactically useless, as they can't know if they're just applying useless pressure because they don't know how many layers of shadow volumes there are to penetrate. So yes, they can be pricks, but to no discernible effect.

My point is that I understand that, I'm not expecting the system restrict itself in any way shape or form, this is par for the course in many places around the world where no quarter can be expected from the authorities. They can't continue

This amounts to nothing more than suspicion. When we get to the point where their failure to find the incriminating evidence they were searching for is evidence of your guilt, we're by nature already at the point that that evidence was neve

I understand this, I mean that they don't know how many layers of misdirection are actually involved, you can provide n fake layers of encryption with trivially incriminating information, as long as the "free space" of the volume in quest

With regards to the point "maybe there is a real societal problem that needs to be addressed here"; the problem that I have with that possibility is that if the only evidence of any supposed crime that has occurred exists purely as bits on

I'm hesitant to mention this again but it does seem that rubber hose is being overplayed as a trump card here too much. Shadow volumes and multiple layered passphrases in arbitrary memorised data offsets on various volumes amongst a scatter

Why bother with the legal trickery? Jump straight to the conclusion that the legal system is a hostile entity, as it actually truly is in many places in the world, and act accordingly. There are encryption methods to prevent key extraction
