No, the police are not breaching copyright by playing music, it's very obviously the person doing the filming and posting to public channels that is breaking copyright if anything is being broken. Playing music to yourself is 100% lega

This argument would be completely unnecessary. Playing music to yourself, your friends etc. is 100% legal in all cases. The cop doesn't need to make any arguments whatsoever about who it's being played for. The person doing the fi

I suggest if the UK adopted some reasonable constitution it wouldn't change a thing. Unless some people hoodwinked some sneaky things in there. But otherwise, it's moot: if you have a highly functional and credible judicial system

This is so wrong that it's basically offensive. Considerably more so-called progressive folks (and others) put their faith in US Presidents they favour, than do subjects of most Monarchs, let alone the UK Monarch. The level of demagogu

You are not infringing on anything by playing music to yourself, and it's not a matter of cases being failed to pursued, it's straight up legal to do so in every sense. If there is some random person filming you - then they are in

Wonderful, thanks, you've just proven my case. Anyone playing the music to themselves is not playing it where 'a substantial number of persons' can hear it, nor are they projecting in such a manner. If this were the case, the

Obviously not. If you are playing music to yourself, and someone films you - you are not infringing - the person filming and uploading is - possibly, though that's more questionable.

These are ridiculous arguments, essentially implying that 'playing the radio for yourself' is copyright violation. Obviously, it's not. Maybe uploading a video containing such music is.

It's not a public performance if a cop or anyone else is playing music for themselves. It's ridiculously obvious, otherwise, literally anything with a speaker would practically be banned. The person making a video with the music a

Rust for CRUD is not a 'Yes with Caveats' - it's a 'No' in all but some very specific cases, and even then it's a 'maybe'. It's outclassed by other stacks in almost every way for this purpose, an

Well it's wonderful that you overcame that. But if someone who was 'White and Tall' was 'Homeless on Minimum Wage' then that would directly refute the logic that 'Being Tall and White is Easy Mode'. Just t

The statement is odd, at the same time, it's not outrageous for him to make in the sense that - lines of code notwithstanding - the underlying science i.e. the application of the product is the thing in question. It's a pretty int

It was bad [1]. In WW2 there was straight up genocidal stuff, in 1990's there was ethnic cleansing. Torture houses, militias going door to door kicking people out, executing them. Some barbaric stuff rooted in a very long history. It&#

It's a very bad quote by someone who understood nothing about currency. A currency is literally 'trust' - it's a social contract. it's trust in the economic system where the currency prevails. If you don't trus

There's a difference between 'easy mode' - and possibly having an advantage. Being tall, or white, might give you an edge in some circumstances, in some places in life. It does not put life on 'easy mode'. It's

There are millions of 'Tall White Guys' in prison, earning minimum wage, living on the streets. It's really not that much of a privilege.

The author immediately confuses 'latent talent' in the general sense, with companies attempt to acquire 'talent' - which are separate things. 'Latent Talent' for special activities, probably does exist, while m
