Good ruling. Finally, some jurists who understand the nature of technology and the fact that hard drives are likely to have old personal files, files that should be encrypted (financial records, medical information, etc), and most people are going to clean out the computer to go on a trip.
Pretenda is assuming that anyone who visits either site is copyright "pirate". As several have pointed out many visitors are not i the US. And some visitors have never downloaded any porn ever.
Broder apparently was inaccurate in his reporting of the details. Musk was oversensitive to apparent charges that EVs are not truly ready for the "prime time".
Broder's story does highlight one glaring problem with EVs; their recharging time to full charge. This has been a problem with EVs from 1900. The range is actually fairly minor; you can add more battery capacity and thus increase range at least in theory.
Musk is trying to defend EVs by deflecting attention away from the one real problem they still have. The pretty graphs, whether Broder drove at the "correct" speed, etc. do not change the fact that the recharging time is not very practical for many people in more typical use pattern. His apparent refusal to acknowledge the recharging problem is even more serious.
EVs were produced in some quantity until about 1920 and one the major problems was recharging time coupled with range.
It is better for Epic to make one statement disowning the work on their website than to try to find all the copies. Personally, Epic made the situation worse by try to find all the copies on the web. Many will here about and some will track done a copy even if out of curiosity. This will have the opposite effect of spreading the track further.
The media coverage (pro and con) will stir up more interest among many who would have never heard of the track or its content.
Once the document is in a digital format the costs to distribute are essentially nil. There some costs to digitize (maybe), upload the document, index the site, and generally maintain the site.
The model PACER is using is based on the copier where each page has real measurable costs (paper, toner, collation, binding/stapling, etc.). For me to download a pdf file has lower costs for the supplier and if I ever print the copy all the costs are on me; its my printer, paper, ink/toner, staple, etc.
NC use is one of the options are that can be chosen. My definition of NC use is that one can not resell the work. If the NC work is used, say, on in ad supported blog that is fine because the work is not being sold.
Part of the problem is that the CC license nomenclature is not easy to decipher at a glance for most. So I am reduced to looking up the precise terms of the CC license being used. And there some very significant differences between the licenses.
I have often wondered about the competency or computer literacy of many these "experts". While registry cleaning is common on Windows boxes; all computers accumulate miscellaneous trash files that do need eventual purging.
C-Cleaner's removal and other similar software defaults to removing common garbage files that have accumulated over time. The downloaded infringing files probably have an extension *.mov and are not typically removed by these programs.
Also, Linux distros often have frequent releases and I suspect many Linux users update their distro more frequently .
Another question is whether these "experts" realize or know that Linux can use several different formats that Windows does not read because MS chose not to allow it.
