THis is likely a consideration. From my decidely non-lawyer viewpoint the RIAA is using a terrible law, but still a law and they have grounds under this law for their claims. GH and MS have deep pockets and if they tried to initially fight

There are a lot of arguments against this counter example, including the fact that the browser does not facilitate you getting access in any other way than originally intended (legal) and it honors the caching policy defined for the resourc

This is correct; the most common commit to the youtube-dl repo is fixing the js decoding that YT changes regularly to prevent eaxctly this type of access. Obfuscation is clearly an accepted technological approach to security and control, if

Unfortunately it's well established that accessing resources that, even if not protected what so ever, without permission is illegal. YT's policy T&S on how and when you can consume it satisfies this. I believe in the youtube-

Even if we restrict the target set to "tools with a high likelyhood of being used for an illegal purpose" which I believe youtube-dl belongs in, when is the RIAA going after "guns"?

Doesn't this ignore the broader question of IoT devices for things like coffee makers in the first place? It seems like internet-enabled for the sake of it, which is cool in the "We built a java-based coffee maker monitor for the

I'm skeptical that Amazon did this out of a genuine concern of IoT security. Seems more likely they wanted to be firmly at the center of all the data acquisition, and while they're no doubt more secure than the average IoT maker t

This is how I feel about the security cameras we have at my house. Initially I got very anxious every time a (usually false-positive) alert arrived; now I'm so desensitized I basically ignore them. I know when my house or garage gets b

I guess this is the crux: are they providing a platform and marketing, or are the gate-keeping rent seekers between the developer and their customers?

I agree with this belief, as well as not letting perfect be the enemy of better, as in this case: I can choose Apple over FB while still not liking Apple. The problem is it's really hard to hold these apparently contradictory positions

NOT knowing the internal implementation details of everthing is what has gotten us this far in the first place. You just don't evaluate candidate data structures that often in the vast majority of programming work.
