Got to love badly written laws right?

In this case, however, there is clearly no grounds as no IP is even remotely infringed. The onus is on the entity issuing the takedown order to check this (good faith being key, and an automated tool could be argued to operate entirely without this).

Sadly, it would be a long drawn out procedure without great odds of success as you suggest.

It was already janky when I found it - to be fair there isn’t much out there about bad faith DMCA because the law is so badly written.

So this is what declaring war on Italy looks like.

Huh, neat.

Reek has a new master.

It’s all about probabilities.

Truth is proof, and the article contains no details to establish this absolutely. So, we are left with supposition.

This wasn’t an isolated man with nothing to live for - while his career in AI was over, he’d left it to pursue a moral agenda. Suicide is not likely until AFTER he testifies and discharged this.

The fact he supposedly had documents and a testimony that could heavily harm a company is enough to make it very likely his death was the cost of doing business - why pay a billion in a court case when you can pay a million for a professional hit?

On the balance of probabilities, it looks more likely to be like foul play. As they say, Epstein didn’t kill himself.

And here we see an expert hacker at work, with just a few commands as a root user, they managed to gain root access.

I mean, it sounds like a lawsuit to me.

1. A takedown request was issued on false grounds.

2. This takedown was then actioned without any due process.

3. The issue has caused tangible, and measurable, loss (calculable from prior sales records).

Honestly, there needs to be a fixed penalty fine for bad takedowns…

It’s good in a way that isn’t really expected - the only thing I can say without spoiling is it did something really different with things that had been there a long time.

Sounds like the dream to me - no more funding applications!

How to really feel like a man

1. Ignore gender wars bait, there are way more important things out there.
2. See step 1

I see a lot of bait like this around, I also see a lot of double standards in gaming.

Protect the children: “Hey kids, have you heard about raid shadow legends? Why not go borrow mum’s credit card because it’s free.”

Fun insider fact - the gambling industry learned things from that game.

Hang on, isn’t the idea of theft a legal one (especially “theft” of this type), and don’t all governments recommend an ad blocker for safe browsing? So now, do you break governmental decree or corporate decree?

Wait a moment, UK digital misuse act: “Unauthorised Acts with intent to impair, or with recklessness as to impairing the operation of a computer”, notice that “recklessness” clause? Would serving ads that encourage PuP or straight up malware downloads be reckless? Damn right it would. Does blocking adblock fall under this - oh my yes (“don’t follow established safety regulations” is grounds for recklessness).

Sorry to say this, but the “it’s theft to skip ads” argument makes about as much sense as Epstein killing himself (he didn’t).

You know, one wonders if all academic works should be released under “academic license”…

Might be nice to sting these big companies for our free labour.

I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter…

Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?

We also need irrational fucks for the complex field don’t we?

I think, and here the key word is think as this goes beyond my mandate so to speak, it’s more an act of resistance. A bit like protesting, but with less risk.

I’d say the aim is to rallying over retribution, to push those “good men” into fighting more strongly. It’s not a bad tactic, it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.

It’s also not really that widespread, searches for it are up because it’s making the rounds is all.
