Maybe Publisher's Weekly sincerely and strongly agrees with Rudy Shur.
One could reasonably infer such from their publishing of it.
Maybe they publish this to UPHOLD their reputation rather than invalidate it. Maybe the reputation they want is not the reputation we would think that they want.
Governments that cannot afford to build their equivalent of the NSA, can simply invite Facebook Free Basics networks for repressive regimes into their country.
The article is not saying that piracy is okay, the article is saying piracy is IRRELEVANT. The film will do fantastic. The few pirates don't matter. They don't represent 'lost sails', or something like that.
Pay close attention to how Hateful Eight does at the box office, because it's almost certain to be a smash hit
Please have sympathy for the poor filmmakers, actors, and behind the scenes people. No matter how many tickets are sold, the film won't make any money. The reason why is left as an exercise for the reader.
You mention Google Chrome. I was not sure you were aware that you can install Chrome directly on Linux, without a VM, and watch Netflix in the Google Chrome browser.
That still is not suitable for a set top box. But not everyone is aware that you can watch Netflix on Linux without a VM.
This probably has something to do with why the programming sucks and is so repetitive, duplicative, and formulaic. Oh, another procedural cop show. Oh, another hospital soap opera. Oh, another stupid sitcom. Few original ideas.
And of good programming that they do develop -- they don't re-run it from time to time. Because it is too valuable to watch.
One of the premises of going to cable several decades ago was that with pay TV there wouldn't be commercials. Yet not only are there more commercials than actual content, they also put these bugs up on your screen, covering the programming with people walking around, after the commercials end.
Another premise of going to cable was that by paying for TV, you would get better quality programming. Yeah, yet another Reality TV show.
And the rates continue to go up and up and up. The quality down and down. The ads will soon remove any time left for actual content.
Yet it remains a complete mystery why people are cutting the cable cord.
But also remember that this difference is AFTER all of the cord cutting that has been going on for years now while they were in denial. I suspect a frightening (to them) amount of cord cutting has already happened now that they are beginning to be forced to acknowledge it.
A magical golden key to the back door is a wonderful solution to this problem.
The golden key only works for those with pure intentions.
If someone in the government goes bad, the golden key no longer works for them.
Why can't anyone understand something so simple? A magical golden key to the back door would solve all our problems. Good guys can get in. Bad guys can not. If silicon valley could bring their pixee dust, and law enforcement could bring their genuine unicorn horn powder, and they get together, surely we could solve this problem.
Since EULAs are apparently absolutely binding, why not just have a click through agreement where you agree and certify that you will not be accessing anyone's secret data for any improper purpose. Then we could do away with encryption and the whole problem goes away.
For someone who has already had eight years experience running the country, I would expect you to understand something so simple.
You can have either: 1. A SECURE system. Secure against hackers, and secure against the government and law enforcement. 2. An INSECURE system. The government and law enforcement have access, but so do the Russians, the Chinese, Anonymous, Hackers and Criminals.
You'll never git you're weigh in trying too stop all on line heiress Mint. Their our just two mini trolls fore ewe to stop. No automatic tool is suitable fore you're porpoise.

Dear Rudy Shur,
Have you heard of ISIS and terrorists? Were you aware that murderers exist right here within our own borders?
Yes?
How can you ALLOW these to exist? Why haven't you put a stop to it?
Patiently awaiting your response.

Re:

Just because Facebook is collecting personal information do not assume that Facebook intends to use it to target ads.
Also do not assume that personal information cannot be used to improve the calculations of whose organs are most profitable to harvest first.
