Good point, thanks. I still think a US ruling would be very beneficial, even if it doesn't definitively settle the issue globally.

I'm well aware of the differences between a motion to dismiss, summary judgment, and awards at trial. A ruling on a motion to dismiss shows that the law applies to a situation as alleged in the complaint. As I said in the comment you o

They might have good cause, but that doesn't mean they'll win in court. As I said in many of the threads on this topic, I think the RIAA's letter is in good faith, and it's not plausible to get damages from them, but the

I've talked to plenty of lawyers and spent plenty of money on intellectual property issues. I know what I'm talking about. A declaratory judgement suit is in my view the proper avenue to address a tenuous IP claim. Like I said, to

If I actually end up filing suit I'm sure I'll post about it here and I can get press coverage. Although I'd prefer to do it pro se and keep costs down, I've always wanted to do a pro se case but never had the opportunit

RIAA made a claim that some content violates their rights under DMCA, which in this hypothetical causes my account to be blocked. I can bring a case under the declaratory judgement act against RIAA, asking a court to decide whether the cont

Great. I posted two forks, if GitHub takes action then I've got standing to sue RIAA (under the declaratory judgement act), which I'd love to do pro se. Btw, if anyone is associated with any fork that did go down and is interested

I trust VPN providers that have been asked in court to provide data and refused because they don't log more than I trust Google not to log here.

I mean, who do you think is more likely to be the careless one in this situation: the guy who has 1.5 million in inventory locked up and will be homeless in a few months if they can't access it, or a trillion dollar company to which al

Selection and risk. In clothing especially, people can have hundreds of thousands of individuals skus and only a handful of units on most of them. Amazon doesn't want to stock the long tail. In some areas people have unique deals and w

No, it depends on the rules of the particular arbitration group, which can be modified in the contract. For the AAA, the one bringing it pays an initial fee and the parties split the ongoing cost, but a final award can include costs going t

You can download the audio and video files by taking the URLs from the network tab in chrome, and you can then merge those files together. Just remove the range parameter in the URL.

Did you read the letter? There's only one sentence there that's submitted under penalty of perjury and it's obviously true. This was not a DMCA 512 notice.

I said generally. It remains the case that the letter here is not plausibly fraud.
