A few months ago, 1 bitcoin was like $13. Now it's like $87. All this does is validate BC as a legitimate currency, and because of that...the whole thing has explored. A new hype/bubble? Perhaps. Time will tell.
I agree. She's a bit naive, but definitely not a troll.
She actually works for the government of Swedish tourism or something like that...that's why she got control of the account, NOT because they pulled her name out of a hat consisting of the census.
I don't really go to the movies much anymore, but I'm thinking a trip to an AMC theater to see "Bully" is something that I can get behind. I will patronize good decisions.
I'd be interested in picking that album up. I love it when hip-hop artists step outside their comfort zones and try something different. Worked well for Mos Def, Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilities...to name a few.
Now the tough decision...do I buy it to show there's support for this album or jump on the "FUCK UNIVERSAL" bandwagon and just pirate it?
That's what I was thinking. Being aggressive about it, not only to show is "disavowment" but to also, hopefully, prevent other supporters from making such videos.

Agreed...but there's no way HotFile can know who has the rights to what. There will be obvious items. Such as WB trying to take down a Linux distribution. But what if the newest Batman was made by 20th Century Fox but WB has the distribution rights? There's just no way for HotFile to be able to know that.
"The only thing I'm not sure about here, though, is whether or not Hotfile actually has standing to bring such a claim. I would have thought that it had to be done by the actual copyright holder of the content taken down (or someone else injured by such a takedown)."
How wouldn't HotFile be injured by that? It make their service look completely unreliable simple for trying to comply with take-down clause in the DMCA safe harbors.
Legitimacy

Apple is winning.
Apple is the most valuable company in the world. It's hard to argue in favor of anyone else's approach.

He did say that none of the suing that Apple is doing is for standard-essential patents. If that's true - then the tone of this story is moot.
Have you investigated whether or not Apple is in fact NOT suing anyone for standard-essential patents?
If what he said is true that Apple isn't suing anyone under those grounds, then his statement is true and is not double-edged.
Why isn't this illegal?
It seems like this should be illegal. Like career politicians.
I'm not much of a movie guy...

Forgiveness vs. Permission
This all goes back to that age old saying: "It's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission."

dumb
Sounds like they're about to blow up the house trying to kill a mouse that's immune to explosives.
WTF?!!
