"hosted fields" are really just a fancy CC # widget (with postal code and exp built-in, when appropriate). If you use them, the annual PCI attestation becomes a checkbox instead of a giant form.

My theory: 1) They generally don't make enough profit to save up and then cover the investment period of developing new unproven software (which can be years). 2) If it's too similar to work they've done, former customers may

I've seen this sort of thing in a few places, and I really do think it's a great idea.

The Betamax case was about stuff broadcast over public airwaves, whereas this is a medium that the RIAA barely tolerates, rather than the (ideal) main distribution channel. Seems like a big enough difference to me.

What about this is perjury? The readme actually did encourage downloading copyrighted material...

by larrik 6y ago
The fact that copyrighted works were included in the readme shows it was intended for that use, and the RIAA complaint will likely stand up to any legal scrutiny. Just because it can be used for legit purposes too won't matter in the s

As someone trying to hire software developers, we've been having a harder time than ever finding good devs. So, don't panic. You'll probably be able to find something very soon.
