Anyone you'd hire would be risking breaking the law in the U.S. or some other country, plus you'd have no legal protection if they decided to screw you over.

One potential problem is that $1B is so huge that you'd have to do this slowly to avoid a major crash.

The fact that he was sentenced based on a crime he was not convicted for is a travesty and in my opinion unconstitutional (violates the rights to a public jury trial and to due process).

He was never convicted of trying to kill someone.

With a emulator it's easier to use save states and splice different parts of the run together, or to otherwise cheat. Given that Billy Mitchell has stated that he never used a emulator but the footage contradicts that, a lot of people

Well if he's cheated in one game, I think it's perfectly reasonable to issue a full ban, and I'm sure TG's TOS gives them full discretion to do so.

They don't need the patent in order manufacture the vaccine. Only allowing one company to manufacture the vaccine (or to control who manufactures the vaccine) will likely rise prices.

I wish more companies would take this position, but one barrier to taking this position is that the penalties are so skewed. You can face far larger damages for even minor copyright infringement than spurious takedown requests. Plus there&#

I agree. However, from my understanding, it doesn't matter if the takedown notice is completely without merit. As long as it meets the requirements, Github has to follow it in order to avoid liability.

by zucker42 6y ago
I don't understand which of the required elements you think the notice lacks. It identifies both the content which it claims is infringing (linking the repos) and the songs which it claims are infringed (by name). Relevant statute: ht

I've seen very little animosity towards Github. The law in this case makes Github respond promptly to any takedown request, even if it's wrong. Github can face liability for copyright infringement unless it > (C)upon notificati

You misread or misunderstood my comment. I'm saying according to the RIAA, the browser is the technological measure which the command line program is circumventing.

Are the case's files on Recap and are you willing to share the name/results of the case? Edit: I've googled and found relevant articles. I didn't realize how high profile this was.

The fact that Chinese businesses aren't bound by the Western intellectual property regime is one of their greatest long-term competitive advantages. It remains to be seen whether the Chinese government will revert to intellectual prote

They probably can't go after Github because part of the purpose of DMCA takedowns is that companies which honor takedowns avoid liability for copyright infringement.

What if I use youtube-dl like mpv <(youtube-dl youtube.com/video-url) or similar. Then no permanent copy is made. I agree that they could have been cleverer in their marketing.

Fair use doesn't apply to DRM circumvention unfortunately. You can't even circumvent DRM for reasons completely unrelated to duplicating a copyrighted work.
442.
by zucker42 6y ago
It's pretty ridiculous. They might argue that a browser is a technological measure to protect a copyrighted work which youtube-dl circumvents since the DMCA is written so vaguely. Cases like this demonstrate why anti-circumvention liti

The point is that ramsomware is only written because hackers can get high payouts. If the penalty for paying a ransom is higher than the costs of not paying the ransom (and losing the associated data), then no one pays the ransom, and if no

It's pretty unfortunate that Apple is willing to support an authoritarian regime to the point of requiring an app to censor its users. I wonder how this came to Apple's attention; was it requested by Belarus's government? And

Books don't have a functional purpose in the same way as software. With a book, there are many ways to state the exact same fact (and the fact itself is not protected by copyright law). With a program, there's only one way to ca

Yes people would be interested if the theater focused on quality. There are some movies I'd like to see in theaters just for the experience, and movie theaters can cultivate that by cutting ads, focusing on superior picture/sound
