1) Most users will just think the ISP is broken.
2) Support calls will spike, raising cost and lowering customer satisfaction.
3) Many users flee to other providers....
4) What's the opposite of profit? Oh, yeah, lose. Lose bigly.
"Some will argue that Assange should be prosecuted for conspiring with the Russians, but again let's see what actual evidence there is to support such a claim."
Pretty sure these "analysts" could just be replaced with racist dogs that bark at folks with more melanin, and it would suit the desires of ICE pretty well.
Infringement would apply to a copyrighted work. A live performance is not a copyrighted work.
You might be in violation of a contract or terms of service with the venue/performer, if you purchased a ticket that states you're not allowed to make recordings, but that wouldn't be infringement.
Also, just because your live stream is not copyrighted doesn't mean you can't be infringing someone else's copyright.
"Just wait until all the bio-metric data being kept gets breached. "
I'm pretty sure Uber gets the results of the background checks, not the raw biometric data itself. There are plenty of jobs that require criminal background checks, and yes, I have been through that process.
"I think it's admirable for Lyft and Uber to stand for their contractors privacy. "
This was never about employee privacy. It's always been about Uber wanting the cheapest labor possible.
As an Austinite, I can tell you there is no "struggle."
A couple of ride-sharing companies took their ball and went home.
Five more showed up to take their place.
The only people "struggling" after Uber left are idiots who apparently can't google "what ride sharing companies operate in Austin." I suspect they'd be struggling in any case.
Meanwhile, I suspect every "Austin is done for!" article of being bought and paid for by Uber, because they'd rather run bullshit propaganda machines than actually compete.
Austin was fine before Uber. Austin is arguably better after Uber.
1) If Gene Kelly's estate does not retain copyright over his interviews, how will he be incentivized to perform new interviews?
2) Copyright really is incentivizing creativity, it's just that we already have enough lawyers willing to create crazy lawsuits on behalf of their crazy clients, thank-you-very-much.
"Basically no reason"?
Money.
Lots and lots of money.
Cutting off your nose to spite your face
This will be reversed in 3... 2... 1...
1) Most users will just think the ISP is broken.
2) Support calls will spike, raising cost and lowering customer satisfaction.
3) Many users flee to other providers....
4) What's the opposite of profit? Oh, yeah, lose. Lose bigly.
Basic misunderstanding
"coordinated groups of anarchists"
Um.... I think I might see the problem with their theory.
Pure advertising for Totem
...which you have just boosted tremendously.
That's what trials are for
Yes, that's what trials are for.
CBS Miami don't care
Too many "reporters" just play press-release karaoke instead of any kind of investigation or actual reporting.

It is a problem... for lawyers
Of course they want everything under a copyright.
Crimethink
Time to resurrect George Orwell and have him debate Jeff Sessions....
Another possiblity is dishonesty
Perhaps these "journalists" have accepted payment in order to skew the results?
Re:
Lesson learned.
Double standard
If NYPD posts data in violation of the law, screw rule of law, we want the damned personal data.
Anyone see a problem with this?
Don't see why San Antonio matters
That's how contracts and negotiating work.
If the officers can use that as leverage to get more pay, more power to 'em....
Re: Re: What struggle?
Really.

Suck it, Uber, you went all-in and you lost.
Incentivising Creativity
