Because Google isn't beholden to HBO. Secondly, the issue isn't that google added DRM to chrome, it's that the DRM was pushed into an ostensibly open standard, but the implementation of that open standard is locked behind a l

The unfair barrier to entry is that in order to compete at making a browser the competitor has to build much, much more than just a browser. The fact that it was apple that was successful in building an also-ran competitor isn't helpfu

In the extreme form of a free market (some would call that 'in a truly free market'), there is no such thing as regulating out bad behavior because, that is a limitation on actors' freedom within that market. As the view goe

Every decision about what to enforce and when has a set of competitors that benefit from that decision and a set of competitors that are disadvantaged from that decision. And over time even a single, small benefit can be enough to guarantee

It's the same thing. In order to create any free market and foster competition, an entity has to decide and then enforce the rules for the market, which allows that entity to pick a winner by the rules it choose to write and then enfor

Nonnatural persons aren't granted rights under the law because they're made up of people though. In America they're granted those rights because it makes dealing with them much easier. That's it. That's why it'

But that regional authority would have to be a legal person, too, in order to do anything via the legal system. This doesn't avoid the problem of personhood at all, so much as it changes who/what the nonnatural person actually is.

We could say the exact same thing about corporations, too, that you said about objects, geographic features, and animals. The reason it makes sense to treat those things as if they were a natural person under the law is because it allows fo

why not just buy them a pro edition? I know it's more expensive, but that would also get you remote desktop, bitlocker, and group policy, which would all also be great for remote supporting your parents.

I left it off, because i don't think the higher assessed risk of default than prime loans is relevant for explaining that the true cause is the fraud and purposeful misstating of actual risk. The same thing could have happened with pri

So then theoretically, Intel could sue AMD for supporting their x86 ISA? 1) AMD chips aren't free and the usage is totally for a commercial purpose. 2) ISAs are an API. 3) While the implementation is probably clean-room, it's stil
