The problem is that the copyright period is too long, and it is not dependent on whether or not the copies are still being actively sold.

It is a bit funny. When I started with Python ~18 years ago, the team lead on that project liked this framework "Nevow". It wad plugged into Twisted. Completely async, IIRC JS could have been built in, too. Some ideas are really not new under the sun.
Thanks for the wave of nostalgia.

Let's say a subscription costs $10. Why not charge $14.29 through app store and $10 through online registration? With both logins acceptable in the login form... If Apple users want to pay more for the privilege of paying through Apple, why not let them?
Dude, right now all of us are in deep shock, while:
- some are trying to find their relatives in Ukraine
- some are coordinating and volunteering
- some are trying to get themselves and their families outside of Russia (which gets harder by the minute because of prices and sanctions)
- some are trying to smuggle at least some of the money outside, because their entire life savings are now blocked
- some are trying to preserve what they have despite ruble and market crashing
- some are hunkering down with what they have and their loved ones, trying to stockpile some food before prices skyrocket
and no one has any time to cope and process anything - don't forget usual workloads, too. planning for a week feels like it's already a strategic, not a tactical scope
I get what you're trying to do, but can't you at least give more time for everyone? Right now I need to drop everything and migrate my DNS as well because my private email that I use for docs will stop working in 6 days. And to figure out how to pay the transfer fees while doing all that. It's very much fucking stressful already.
edit: I've worded that badly - I'm not complaining, I'm just asking for a bit longer grace period for everyone. It's very easy to miss an email for 6 days during these times. All of these issues are obviously dwarfed by what Ukrainian people are going through right now.
It's hard for me to send my sympathies to you - my relatives are either hiding in bomb shelters, or fighting your countrymen in the east and in the south. They are all Russian speaking people who hate Russia and everything Russia stands for with passion these days. Anyway, please accept my sympathies, and find strength in yourself to do more.

Something similar, albeit not as severe happened to me, also as a result of a bicycle-related head injury.
I was on my way back home in Montreal. I consider English to be my second language. I have two mother tongues - Ukrainian and Russian. And, due to living in Montreal, I had passable French. So I lost ability to speak or understand French for a few days. After I re-gained it, it became visibly worse. Also I had short term amnesia - didn't know who I was, where I lived or where I was going from/to. Luckily, most of the things came back to me within the next few hours or days.
Brain is a bizarre device...

Is US trying to get every country out there to despise it - on purpose? Because it kind of looks that way. Some suggest they did this to trade him for Snowden. I hope Putin doesn't give in. Also look what US is doing - it's making people root for Putin. And I really don't like Putin.
In this story, Russia is the only one to be despised.
