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.
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.
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?
> 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…
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.
I'd say that's putting it nicely. His argument is so specious, I would hesitate to call it an argument. I've seldom read anything on employment where the errors in logic jump quite so far off the page.
Yes, the copying was primarily of visual design. Of course, in our opinion, it's a poor copy, but they got acquired and we didn't, so who's to say? I just don't see how it's unethical to try to improve on what someone…
A lot of successful products are copies of something else, and more power to them. The company I work for* had a competitor make an "embarrassing copy" of our flagship product, and they managed to get acquired because…
Where are the personal attacks on that page? I see none.
I have read every comment of yours on this thread, and in an effort to be charitable, I have taken a few days to digest your points regarding the status of unvested shares. It occurs to me that in multi-founder…
