That would be a slightly different situation because most countries have laws that make it a criminal offense to negligently kill someone, but they don't have laws that make it a criminal offense to negligently damage property or hack

I wish you were right, but look at Ukraine's desperate requests for Patriot missiles and Switzerland letting the US screw them repeatedly to get F-35 and Patriot.

Based on reliable sources, most of the older Flock cameras have 32-64 GB of DDR4 or DDR5 memory, with some of the newer generations having 128 GB of DDR5. Worth several thousands at current RAM prices. Socketed and thus easily removable onc

If what the rest of the thread is saying is true (failed indictments being rare and harmful for the career of the prosecutor ), the possibility of bringing the case up again seems relatively unlikely, making this de facto jury nullificat

A reasonable opinion, but I'd personally strongly choose the former. A physical book in a museum archive is useless for 99% of the worlds population even if they really wanted that specific book and were able to find it, as they&#x

It's destroying books that angers people in general. Never mind that it's the 200th copy of some 1950's romance novel that nobody will ever care about, every time a library prunes its collection there is outrage.

Many countries require a copy of each book published there to be submitted to their national archives/library. The US has had this requirement since 1790 as far as I can tell. All countries I checked (Germany, France, Canada) seem to h

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason the Commission agreed to it was better to have a shitty deal now, than to let Apple drag this through the courts for a decade. The EU is notoriously bad at enforcing its laws, from GDPR to this.
