  • Denmark’s leading anti-piracy group is shifting to a more aggressive litigation strategy.

    Unless the students are acting incredibly naive, it's almost impossible for the anti-piracy group to lift the burden of proof here.In general all you have to do is to claim you know nothing about it. For instance having "evidence" that your IP address was used for download is useless as evidence.

    Also the Anti Piracy group has a reputation of themselves working outside the law here, so maybe an investigation into this group could be a good idea.

    https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Schl%C3%BCter

    Johan Schlüter was for many years the embodiment of anti piracy in Denmark forming "AntiPirat Gruppen" (Anti Piracy Group).

    I 2014 idømte en fransk domstol ham 18 måneders ubetinget fængsel

    Translation: In 2014 a French court gave him 18 months UNCONDITIONAL prison term!The case was followed up with a €5 million lawsuit. For the fraudulent handling of Charles Trenet copyrights.

    In 2015 he was reported to police for defrauding 100 million DKK from copyright holders. The investigation found "inconsistencies" in 4 companies owned by Johan Schlüter tro the amount of 200 million DKK (€30 million). Later that year AntiPirat Gruppen" was declared bankrupt.

    i juni 2017 tiltale mod Schlüter og to andre advokater i Schlüters advokatfirma.

    In July 2017 cases were raised against Schlüter and 2 other lawyers in the company.

    So the people handling these copyright investigations and cases do not have the best reputation. In fact they are the real thieves stealing from copyright holders, embezzling their money through their judicial con job. Promising to help, but doing more harm than good, to a degree that in Denmark laws have been changed to basically protect against activities by anti piracy lawyers that are immoral and illegal.

  • If it walks like a dog and quacks like a duck, it's probably a dog.But apparently we are not allowed to call it out here when we see it.

  • Independence from USA on IT has been sorely needed since the 80's.For some reason nobody has been able to make it work, not even Russia or China who both have been very motivated for it for decades.

    I hope we will finally succeed now that the interest is more global.

  • Absolutely brilliant. 👍

  • Thanks for posting, but people will find something else stupid to complain about, because there is pretty obviously a storm of propaganda against Firefox, which I very much suspect is driven by interests that are against an open and free internet.

    Blocking these features may calm some people, but in reality, none of these features were used for anything unless specifically used by the user. So the claim of it making Firefox slower or using more resources or being used for telemetry were all outright lies.

    A sentiment is tried to be created that Firefox is just as bad as Chrome, Edge, Brave and Safari when nothing could be further from the truth. But even people who consider themselves IT savvy are falling for it. 🙁

    Interestingly these attacks on Firefox coincide with Chrome getting steadily worse, forcing Googles own standards and preventing plugins that block advertising, while reducing functionality for Firefox on Google/Alphabet owned sites.

  • It doesn't matter how many other countries you have on board if the Federal government of USA won't allow it.Secession can't happen is the default. To change that a lot of ifs are required, both a lot and some very big ones.No country is more powerful than USA, and even if there were such countries, they have no right to interfere in internal affairs of USA.USA is extremely undemocratic and authoritative compared to EU, where the states have way better protections and are allowed to leave the union.If Americans think the "world" can help them think again. Because they neither can or will.

  • But perhaps he was talking about the subtler asymmetry he experienced just days before in Beijing.

    Oh please, obviously he meant China too. Probably also to some degree EU.Apart from that, yet another article from politico that doesn't substantiate the headline.

    Politico has turned to complete shit IMO.

  • How is it not obvious that to stifle innovation and efficiency is bad for society overall?What part of that simple connection is it you don't understand?Obviously having more people being less productive would squeeze wages and make them poorer.Also obviously, taxing automation will make the products more expensive.So people will make less money and the products they need will be more expensive.

    Since I apparently have to point out the obvious, it will not only be the workers, it will also be the owners of the production facilities, and if you think we can just dictate high wages on low productivity Venezuela style, then you are 100% wrong, such strategies have been tried, and they don't work for obvious reasons. You can't just dictate that toilet paper has to be cheap, because if you demand it to be sold cheaper than cost, then productions stops.It's the same principle with your suggestion.

    However if we tax the rich, we help prevent power accumulating among very few people, which helps democracy, and investing the money in improvement of society, makes the country as a whole richer in the long run.

    Also you know Socrates was ultimately killed for his continuous insistence on not understanding anything, and just asking questions.

    It's very easy to ask questions, like why do you believe taxes on automated production would help solve the problem?How do you even define automation? Because fucking EVERYTHING is automated today.

    How do you think it's possible to buy a bread for less than you make in 5 minutes? Including packaging and transportation to a convenient site? A bread that if you had to make it yourself would take about an hour to make. And in this example, bread is even one of the easiest things you can buy to make yourself! And you would still have to buy the ingredients to make the bread.

    Without automation life as we know it would be impossible => With less automation we would all be poorer.

  • No, what is extraordinary is the lack of ability to understand why it is obviously true.Yes the plow thing is an exaggeration, because it would probably have been invented anyway. But it's an example of the result of hindering innovation and efficiency.And it's a well known fact that cities in in Northern Europe were made possible by the invention of a better plow. And the "invention" of hay was also a major factor.

  • This seems like guesswork.

    It's not, it's a well known fact of economy. Hindering innovation and efficiency is contrary to improving society. Apart from being an economic fact, it's also logically follows.

    Why does that have to be mutually exclusive?

    It doesn't, but your suggestion is backwards, by that standard we would never have developed new plows 1500 years ago, and cities couldn't exist north of Paris.

  • That will make Finland less competitive, increase prices making everybody poorer and increasing unemployment even more in the long run.

    Tax the rich, and invest in infrastructure, education and healthcare, to ensure Finland stays a high quality society, with high innovation, and highly qualified workers.

    AFAIK this is the only recipe that is known for sure to work in the long run.

  • Anyone read this article? I skimmed it, and I found nothing to substantiate the headline.What it does contain is a lot of trash like:

    His graying hair is slicked back; the edges of his three-day beard are precisely trimmed.

    Who gives a shit?

    “I’m hoping for an absolute majority for the AfD,” one supporter comments.

    Anyone can hope for anything, and this is completely unsurprising, again who gives a shit?

    The contrast between the two men is stark. Kirchner — short, bald and combative — delivers tirades about “globalist communists” and the “lying chancellor,

    Typical demagogue, but again void of any real meaning.

    I must admit I don't care to read the full article, it seems extremely full of stupid anecdotes that show absolutely nothing to the effect of the headline. 20 anecdotes do not make a statistic.

  • False equivalence.

  • Is it fair that immigrants are punished twice? IDK, but this is what it seems most people want.If the sentence is only 1 year, is it really that serious though?"Simple" violence is 3 years. And we recently had a case where the sentence for rape was 16 months, despite the woman admittedly never said no, but it was rape because the man couldn't prove she said yes. Rape is up to 8 years, so it is very unlikely to only get 1 year for rape. I can't imagine being innocent and going to jail without evidence.

    IDK I think this sounds harsh, especially considering we have had cases with fake rape accusations, one woman alone had 4 men in jail for rape, but it was revealed by a family member of one of the victims that she had admitted to her it was a lie while she was being recorded!

    These cases are not clear cut, and I hate that innocent people can go to jail completely innocent and without evidence!!!Now immigrants risk being thrown out of the country too, even when they are innocent!

    I don't think I like this development.

  • Yes, like the fact that these "worst" criminals are from being judged to one year of unconditional imprisonment.And you can for instance be judged for 16 months for rape completely without evidence, even though the woman admits to never saying no, because you can't prove she said yes.You may want to read my other comment. This will quite positively mean the expulsion of innocent people.

  • I don't get it? Why are these protests not anti government? Do they consider everything else that is going on OK?Cutting healthcare, the obvious corruption, and destroying the American economy in multiple ways, and making Americans poorer by devaluing the US Dollar.But apparently Americans are OK with losing their democracy, and people working 2 jobs living in poverty without healthcare!

    Protesting ICE is of course a place to start, but despite the protests ICE is still active in Minnesota!

  • Unfortunately USA is not a free country, and secession is illegal.History shows that military force will be used in case states try to secede.
