I say please to Echo all the time, and it has no noticeable issues when I do. Actually, I think the Echo is rude, because I also thank her, and she never says "You're Welcome". Unless I say her trigger phrase again before thanking her.
Except that the publication date predates the grandfather period of the laws that grant that period. In fact, the original date predates the existence of the United States...
Actually, it is WAY PAST time for the Entertainment Industry to wake up to the fact that we are now in a global economy, and that the old rules of regional licensing don't work any more.
While it still might work for physical/scarce goods, it does not for digital. When will they learn that these tactics make them appear to be whiny babies, who cry because you can't hand them the moon.
This is not to say that I don't agree it is a good idea, but...
Search and seizure protections are much like free speech protections. The fact is that in both cases, the Bill of Rights only protect us from Government action; Government interference with speech, Government search and seizure. Cops work for our local governments. Retail workers work for a private company which is not bound by the Bill of Rights.
That being said, when I was in the Navy, back in the '80s, they did drug testing.
In a statement, the No. 3 U.S. carrier by subscribers said its customers “love having free streaming video that never hits their data bucket” and like “both the quality of their video experience and the complete control they have.”
How about dropping Caps? Then we would not have to worry either way. I am currently an Unlimited Data customer of T-Mobile (and they turned on Binge-On for me, like everyone else), have been since they first offered it in 2008 or so. Why should we have them, they are not necessary.
The downside, as always is that their pulpit is bigger than yours. The folks who would only hear their side, because it is in mainstream media, but not yours, because they don't do their own research.
Reminds me of the end of the movie American President (paraphrased)...
...We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you [INSERT POLITICIAN HERE] is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things, and two things only: making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections...
Ink cartridges are a physical good. Accessing the software to make changes violates copyright... At least according to the companies doing this sort of thing. Firmware in cars, tractors, etc are going through this battle right now.
A lot of the time, we have seen judges in these cases come back with a single decision. as you mentioned, the judge could have stopped with: "You have no right to Copyright".
Instead, they went deeper in the analysis, not ducking the the remaining items, saying: even if you could have copyright, you would still be wrong. even if you weren't wrong about fair use, you have no basis for saying they cost you sales, etc.
A good job. How do we get guys like this to run for something?
There is an argument for the idea that any bad law that people ignore, makes them less likely to obey laws in general.
When laws that are overly restrictive or difficult to follow, or let's just say it, stupid, people start to lose respect for the legal code and use their own beliefs to determine appropriate behavior.
Maybe they need o get rid of stupid laws, so that folks follow the good ones...
...All it takes is to read the news to figure it out. People find holes that no one knows about, much less ones that people are given instructions on how to use?

I say Please to my Echo all the time
I just got this in the mail
I got a notice from AT&T UVerse that I am getting the Unlimited Usage for free, because I have the TV Plan (A $30 value!)

So, still not covered.
It is Time for the Entertainment Industry to wake up

There is one minor difference
Search and seizure protections are much like free speech protections. The fact is that in both cases, the Bill of Rights only protect us from Government action; Government interference with speech, Government search and seizure. Cops work for our local governments. Retail workers work for a private company which is not bound by the Bill of Rights.
That being said, when I was in the Navy, back in the '80s, they did drug testing.
Caps are the problem
How about dropping Caps? Then we would not have to worry either way. I am currently an Unlimited Data customer of T-Mobile (and they turned on Binge-On for me, like everyone else), have been since they first offered it in 2008 or so. Why should we have them, they are not necessary.

When?
This just shows how useless the current data collection is
Betcha no one in intelligence is going to own up to that!
I really admire this judge

The funny thing to me is....
