So by "acceptable standards" you mean force successful companies to pay for and run ads for their failed competitors on their own property? How the heck does that make an ounce of reasonable sense?
This is like forcing Walmart to splash ads for every small town local store across its shelves just because they're not as big. The only "crime" they've committed is being successful. Calling this antitrust is just being ridiculous.
This is where much of the Artistic community has been severely mislead.
Who created the artistic work is not the end of the story of who owns the Copyright. This appears to be a classic "work for hire" scenario, which is actually written into Copyright law. The Copyright belongs to the entity that hired her to create it. She doesn't own any part of it.
Re: Great article as usual, Mr Geigner. I just wonder why don't have your own site.
You mean when they win the lawsuit against them from you know who for being a you know what and you know who is forced to pay them every red cent they've had to spend defending themselves?
Nothing in that wording implies that the protections of the Constitution only apply to Citizens. It simply states the locale under which these rules apply for the obvious reason that we can only enforce our rules on our land.
Which even if that is true, is completely irrelevant to the issue here. The state cannot prevent him from saying he is an engineer whether that's true or not. It also cannot prevent the use of math by anyone who is not licensed by them for any reason.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. You certainly should not expect anything you do online to remain hidden from discovery forever. Courts can under the right circumstances require the service provider to reveal what they know about who made those comments. That's a good thing.
It sounds like you're trying to attack these service providers as if they are lying about providing anonymity. If that's the case, you need to re-read the article. Yelp is trying to fight to protect this anonymity. They're hardly the bad player in this scenario.
Yep. Cause those fancy rich folk you love to hate have Lamborghini's that need confiscating so the cops can get that nice new theater sized TV they've been eyeing.
Re: It's the Studios Licensing Not Specifically Netflix
Netflix is free to drop any content that requires it to agree to such ridiculous licensing terms. Applying that outrage to the MPAA while still paying for a service that's paying them is not venting it "where it's best applied".
mp3 is an audio format. mp4 is an audio and video format. It's actually a really good video format, too. Certainly not the best, but comparing it to mp3 is like comparing a cd player to a tv. Sure they both play sound, but what exactly does that have to do with why you think they're the same?
So you're ok with the police murdering, raping and stealing from innocent people without consequence?
I'm sorry, but since you didn't provide any concrete examples I went with all you did provide, and that's all I found. I can only work with the facts you choose to provide.
Actually, I think he read the article just fine. Is it really that far of a stretch to believe that some game companies constant complaining about stupid things like piracy is a big part of what lead to this complete misunderstanding about what modding a game means?
Heck, I even see plenty of game devs whine when people mod or cheat in games they own (talking single player, not affecting other people). I think the connection between this report and that ridiculous whining to be pretty obvious.
Which is why the anti-SLAPP law is soooo important here. If they can win that, then at least they can get the attorney's fees back. Will still have wasted a lot of time fighting it, but it's a lot better than just a simple court win.
Perhaps you could give a good reason why it should be located anywhere else, or on it's own? You know, to respond to the several good reasons Mike gave for why it's good to have it there.
Of course these things 'could' be accomplished without this connection. Anything can be accomplished without it! That doesn't add anything to this discussion. What good does it do to not have it there?
That would require too detailed a case to work. Basically, it would make it almost impossible for the person to ever unlock their phone again because they'd have to get that exact facial expression exactly right the second time, which is next to impossible for any person to do.
Facial recognition attempts to analyze several generic data points to tell if it's likely the same face looking back at it. This actually describes part of the problem with biometrics. You never get 100% match accuracy, so you're always guessing and accepting some degree of inaccuracy.
Exactly. The security world needs to give up on biometrics. As flawed as passwords are, biometrics are NOT better.
The very fact that you cannot change your biometrics breaks one of the basic requirements of security. To say nothing of the fact that anyone can grab them from you without needing your help in any way.
