I think that's how a large part of European languages still work.

I don't think it's Steam setting the prices.

Sorry to bother you, but how do you check/block scripts? Personally I use Firefox with uBO and Noscript, but noscript seems pretty rudimentary since it only lets you block domains. Me not knowing what the various per-domain toggles mean doesn't help either.

A GDPR infection on the wallet, I'd hope.

Or (being devil's advocate here): just don't be a fucking slut. Have like 3 partners and have ypur website pick the best offer dynamically, it's not that hard. In the end they all use AdSense, so they don't even need to give data to the other 873 or even Google itself - as you said ads don't have to be targeted. Although it's not as if it won't get there anyway.

Not neccessarily. A spun off YouTube would still have YouTube premium and ad revenue. They could also sell user data to 3rd parties (I doubt Google currently does it on a large since it's in their interest to have a better ad network than its competitiors). A move similar to Reddit's with their API and exclusive search agreement or agreements to feed certain videos to AI would both fetch a higher price and upset the quality less since the vast majorty of videos watched are found through YouTube itself.

Also, the collar may cause slight discomfort including (but not limited to) itching, rashes, choking, rashes and llergic reactions). For such cases, we have technitians availiable in 20+ of the world's largest cities to help you alleviate the symptoms! (You'll have to get an appointment through a fake AI robocall first)

T&CAny attempt to touch the collar by a person not wearing it will cause the collar to start burning the flesh of both the toucher and wearer. When the wesrer wishes to use Adobe Elements, they have to plug in their collar into the computer. Only the wearer may touch the wire of the collar - any attempt by a 3rd party to touch the collar will cause a 80dB screeching noise to be emitted by the collar. Any complains must be arbitrated. We will not budge like those pussies over at Disney. If you're an EU citizen you have to renounce your citizenship if you wish to use Adobe products. Our products may onle be used in progressive democracies with strong corporate freedom of forced arbitration.

SpoilerTbh I think I sold them way too short since their agreement would be at least 35000 words long

He belongs in a home.

He would if he wasn't a felon. He belongs in jail.

In NHS buses plastered with lies.

Wasn't there a N64 Pokemon game (Pokemon Safari?) Where you take photos of pokemon?

I guess Nintendo quashed its own patent.

Rhetoric does mean speech. It's usually used in a political context, so incediary rhetoric would be incidiary (political) speech.

Other than that, rhetoric is often equated with the policies talked about, so Trump's rhetoric would be anti-immigrant, anti-abortion, pro-Russia, etc.

As for the 'it's not rhetoric' part of the title - I think they meant it's not just speech, it's verifiable - so no direct meaning of 'lie' anywhere although the meaning of 'lie' is heavily implied.

Agreed.

I didn't listen to the podcast so I wouldn't know, but honestly, she was lucky. She's popular and her publishers had an interest in the case (they'd lose out on profits if she lost). And she initially did lose. It was only because of the publicity of the case that it was overruled (although money did help as well).

Unfortunately, this could've happened to any smaller artist, and it routinely happens with patent trolls I pointed to. Unfortunately, I don't have a lawsuit I can point to, but given the volume, one surely exists.

Also, it's not as if I approve of the current state of copyright in the US (or EU for that matter).

Originally copyright was meant to protect rights of the author, but in time it was bastardised into the concept we have today where artist sign off their rights to publishers.

So my proposal is - if corporations like copyright, let them have it. I won't watch Disney movies outside of Disney+ ors the system we've got and have to live with, why not let the corporatios feel it as well?

Why would Google, which makes loads of money from those demonetizations on one side of the law now be allowed to use copyrighted works of others for profit, while Internet users in the US get a fine or their service cut for alleged copright infringement while those in Germany get a stern letter with a big fake fine?

Big Tech shouldn't get to profit both from the false copyright infringement claims as well as getting to use the actual copyrighted content to generate a profit.

This whole AI copyright situation is just a symptom of an ailing global copyright policy that needs to be fixed, and slapping an AI-free-for-all band-aid on top isn't a fix.

My train of thought is this: If we don't let a simple AI exceotion into the books, either training AI on copyrighted content stays illegal, or the entire system gets a reimagining.

If it stays the same, this will not mean much. Piracy sites and torrenting exists despite the current state of copyright law. I don't see why AI could't exist in this way. This has the huge plus of keeping AI outside the hands of Big Tech. Hopefully this also means it's harder for harmful uses of AI to be legal.

Alternatively, we get a better copyright system for everyone, assuming it isn't made to only benefit the corporations.
