If a Empl burst wipes out my books and movies I probably wont have a job, or money in the bank or even much money in my pocket. I keep a couple hundred buck for tips, cash only that I top up once every couple of months, otherwise its all card.
You dont have to worry about moving a 1000+ ebooks in boxes every Time you move. I have moved perhaps a dozen times in my adult life. Generally if I go on holiday for a few weeks I might go through a dozen books
Funnily enough, I generally do take 1 paper book when I go on holiday, Paper beats ebook for sitting on beach/by pool.It is also better for a coffee table book. But if all you are doing is buying mass market paperbacks, meh give me a ebook anytime
A new paperback is like $20 Aus, a new ebook is $7 Aus or rent on kindle for almost free.
The science is reasonably good on they mostly prevent you passing it on.
The science on does it prevent you from catching covid is a little more debatable. At one end we know that emergency personnel, with gloves, Booties, scrubs, masks and face shields have still have caught covid. That the difference between a mask and a "fitted" mask can be statistically measurable.
Is that cloth mask you have been wearing for weeks, and is probably full of bacteria, "safer" for YOU then no mask at all. Debatable.
Its a little like fact checkers, I do not see any problem with being fact checked.
But fact checked by some invisible minion, you have no way to debate with and no way to reverse when he is wrong. It not like you can post counter speech with proof. That will be fact checked and censored as well
“Australians” didn’t create this tax. Is murdoch Australian or just own Australian news corporations.
All the news organizations here are just following the Corp line. Oh google just wants to steal from the news there is zero explanation besides oh google just wants to be a big meanie!
Would you like to be trespassed from a public place where you are peacefully assembling because the cops found someone that said they didn't know you and you could not be trusted to peacefully assemble.
Of course now, they are saying it went into general funds we have no idea how much we profited by this. oh and It will drive us bankrupt because we already spent the money.
given Book publishing companies seem to share Accounting practices with Movie publishers I am not even sure they know.
But it varies a lot and Self publishing on Amazon is several 100% more profitable by book,
Pre Amazon I probably purchased 1% of what I borrowed from the library, With more disposable income and increased difficulty in getting to the library I rarely go now. Perhaps once in the last year? But even back then I mostly used the library to find authors I liked and then purchased their books.
A reasonably big fuss was made because after trumpeting in the press that a 30 year old had died of COVID-19 and that he was the youngest to die in Australia, the autopsy revealed that he had not in fact died of COVID, that he did not have COVID and the 5000 people tested for possible contact revealed nobody that was infected with COVID.
They are city council.It not supposed to be a job for life, Not doing something that might get you kicked out if you don't do it is not a untenable political position. They could refuse to do anything and continue their policy of just keeping the police union happy. Oh surprise you are no longer In office.
Caving in to the police Union knowing that the police are racist and corrupt and could in the future make actions that the city council would regret is what put them in this position
Australia and NZ. An over the limit reading in the field simply mean a visit to the Station or Truck where another machine that is not roadside portable and presumably more accurate reading is run. It can occur that the additional time can lead to someone just over dropping to just under.
But at least on TV you never see anyone dropping from 2-3 times over to under or read in the press that any complaints that they got off after a road side reading grossly over the limits.
You sometimes see youtube personalities faced with if you don't have press credentials your not press.
Or even worse if your not registered with the x organisation as press, your not press and if do the "wrong" thing like ask pesky questions of the city council oops you are no longer registered.

Its not hard.
Copyright gives rights regardless of having no contract
Contracts gives rights based on the contract regardless of copyright.
This is a contract case not copyright, as long as one of the parties can produce a contract I would expect it to be relatively simple.
You can't terminate a copyright you don't own. Or at least have not granted rights to in perpetuity.

Australia has similar mechanisms.

I did not realise this was not yet precedent
