Wow, those numbers are quite telling. If you consider that paying for Spotify premium is basically the equivalent of buying one album per month, and the top 12 artists I might be listening to are getting nowhere near 3,500 streams per month

First of all, can you explain what an "open text" is? Second, as far as I can find through the French IP office (INPI), OpenText (single word) is trademarked as a figurative trademark (meaning they are basically protecting the ima

I'm puzzled by this question. Does the material universe perform any other acts than organizing information? I feel like you're trying to make me argue a position I'm not defending here.
