This is a burden yes, and could be intentional. It could also be someone who knows that documents contain metadata and is trying to provide these without that attached meta info.
I feel that Microsoft and it's executives are drunk on the lock in. Most people didn't see it back in the day. It's finally crystal clear to many consumers and that's very bad for business. Microsoft tried to kill "The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs"
The question is can they backtrack quick enough? Unfortunately I see no hope for the executives. Microsoft needs some fresh attitudes at the executive level.
To be clear I don't think they hand much actual standing here, but I believe no matter what information is collected that some Hospital somewhere will make claims against it and sue. At that point the question will be who has the bigger guns John Q Public vs MegaHospital Incorporated and their insurance companies lawyers.
I am not a lawyer but IMO Carreon very clearly took this to extraordinary levels which is because it's not just his baseless threats it was possibly defamation to his employer with the same threats. This action and his entire unprofessional direction of this situation should be cause for sanctions. A lawyer exhibiting these actions without regret should be disbarred until such time that they understand the power they weld and it's role in society.
I would believe an officer of the corporation might be able to be considered "the corporation" and at the same time their own self entity. An officer can sign as if they are the corporation for example.
Also this would get around the judges ruling because "individual citizens" would only apply to his self entity. By being an officer he is also not an individual citizen.
Don't worry soon Tesla Motors will soon be promising a software upgrade. I can see it now a black market car jailbreaking ring. Then the owners will be cool pirates (criminals) and take down the AIAA.
WSJ may have once held esteem but I have read quite a number of articles lately that to me make the WSJ not only out of touch but also entirely opinion based not in reality. It's completely useless today. I only wish that other people especially Wall Street would realize this.
The main reason why embedding isn't direct infringement is because the site MyVidster can't alter the content directly. If they did that might technicially make them liable. Just giving a link to another site, or offering an applet that loads the file from another site which has no office relation to MyVidster is not infringment from MyVidster. If the laws are changed then we could make this a form of infringement.
Simply put the file is located elsewhere, that server could change the video file at anytime. MyVidster is just pointing the customers PC to that channel. It's like a specialized remote control to point out content that is just plain available.
Now it gets more complicated with Akamai but then in those cases there is a contract. If a content distributor like Akamai served up a file I suspect they could be directly liable as well as the contracting company who is pushing the file out there.
It is, there may be more to Facebook than the EBB but that is what it is an Electronic Bulletin Board. There is no way to separate out the EBB part and thus the whole Facebook site is equally against probation. Just a modern form of it. I failed to see how Facebook doesn't qualify as being specifically blocked by that wording.
I think we should counter their argument by charging all real estate agents higher life insurance based on their own admission that this is a dangerous job and that the current rates don't reflect their enormous benefit to society (also known as a risk factor for insurance)
