Until the neighborhood bully gets a hold of a flipper and shakes down well cared cats for copies of their rfid chips.... sorry

A neighbourhood bully could do far worse things to a cat that involves little to no technology. One of many reasons why my cat stays inside.

Crashing your car is an error. Crashing your car while lecturing someone else about safe driving is irony.

In this case it seemed like you were making a point about the strict legal sense of a word, but misusing a different legal term to do so.

You're describing hypocrisy.

I think you make a good point, but there is some irony in pointing out the distinction between colloquial and legal use of the term “stealing” while also misusing the term “piracy” to describe legal matters.

It would be more clear if you stick to either legal or colloquial variants, instead of switching back and forth. (Tbf, the judge in this case also used the term “piracy” colloquially).

I'm not sure that's irony. Just an plain error on my part, which you're right to point out. Piracy is also a pejorative label for copyright infringement.

There's no credible evidence Spotify built their company and business on pirated music.

This is a narrative that gets passed around in certain circles to justify stealing content.

"Stealing" isn't an apt term here. Stealing a thing permanently deprives the owner of the thing. What you're describing is copyright infringement, not stealing.

In this context, stealing is often used as a pejorative term to make piracy sound worse than it is. Except for mass distribution, piracy is often regarded as a civil wrong, and not a crime.

This is great. But my concerns about Cloudflare's power remain. Today it's blocking AI crawlers, tomorrow will it be blocking all browsers that fail hardware-attestation checks?

Sure you can use Source Depot (actually Perforce) at home: https://www.perforce.com/p/vcs/vc/free-version-control

YPPH · 3 months ago

I think Source Depot is a proprietary fork with a lot of Microsoft-stuff added in.
