Thank you for the reference - I agree, that's the most likely interpretation of the email. I wonder why this wasn't called out more strongly when the hedge fund was mentioned in the press release.
The only reference I found to their hedge fund said that it hasn't launched yet, not that it has failed.
You misunderstand. Your email _address_ (and mine) have already been leaked, shortly before Christmas 2011. What WikiLeaks is now publishing is a list of actual internal emails, as in, the content of their internal,…
That's still not like sending a letter without an envelope.
And he's saying that this change is for the worse. He has made substantive arguments, and you have responded with a useless platitude.
This bit is inaccurate, as far as I can tell: > it was also transmitting the data in “plain text.” This would be like mailing a private letter to someone without the envelope. My understanding is that the data was…
There are no straw man arguments in this entire thread, let alone the comment you replied to.
I haven't read a whole lot on this - could you clarify on the ripping off of IP? edit: I should have read the whole comment thread first - nevermind.
I dispute that the law "requires" prosecution.
It's still not a slippery slope. It's an analogy that illustrates what would be possible, de jure. Honestly, there's no slope involved at all.
I see no slippery slope in his argument. Singing Happy Birthday in public is actually a copyright violation, right now.
This is just a friendly suggestion to edit that second sentence - it threw me for a bit.
This sounds more like the original iTerm than the newer iTerm2 to me. They're separate projects.
Thanks for the info!
Strawman. A congressperson ought to either be an expert in those things, or listen to those that are.
I grew up less than a mile away from the Fox River, one of the worst in the state, and I must say, I never thought of myself as saddled with a horrible legacy. There are plenty of places to go if you like being in the…
I grew up in Wisconsin, and until recently worked there. $120k seems an outrageous amount to me - where are your friends?
You posited a situation where a group of people (the artists and/or their representatives) got together for the purposes of tricking UMG into illegally issuing a DMCA takedown notice. You don't have even the slightest…
More ridiculous drivel. The "end result" of my life will be substantially different, depending on how I affect the people around me. Do you have anything to say that's even slightly true?
> If 'illegal' was as binary as you want to imply, then all penalties would be exactly the same What a ridiculous statement, which bears absolutely no relation to what I said. > This statement implies that UMG…
> Don't get carried away with conspiracy theories Followed by a conspiracy theory of your own: > I also find it highly probable that this was a targeted effort to get the video into the sights of whatever…
> There is a difference between malice directed towards MegaUpload and (willful) negligence. It's a difference that doesn't matter in the slightest. The organization is acting illegally, and people are rightfully…
I reread it. It still looks like you're drawing a distinction between a person flagging an "infringing" work, and a bot doing the same. I still think that there is no practical use for this distinction. Where's the…
We're floating conspiracy theories without a shred of evidence here now?
I see no practical difference between a human issuing illegitmate DMCA takedown notices, or using a bot to do the same. The difference to the affected party is nil. "The bot made me do it" is not a legal defense.
