Back in the day when we wanted to copy a book, we had to copy page by page in a photo copier, which was tedious and could be expensive.
These days, all one has to do to bypass all of this DRM/NFT crap is take pictures of each page with their phone, then use a program to convert it to a pdf.
About 20 years ago, there was a Washington Post magazine article about the slave trade in west Africa. One of those photos had a gate to a dock which the slave ships used. That gate looked a lot like the one to Dachau which I visited. All it was missing was the "Arbeit macht frei" sign.
As some one who has managed non-cloud Oracle databases for almost 30 years, no they do not "phone home". These days I am mostly on the red team, and have analyzed network traffic from the database. There has never been a packet sent from a database to an internet address without a developer coding one with UTL_TCP/UTL_HTTP.
On the other hand, Microsoft does phone home, and not just Windows 10. While pen testing an internal corporate web application with an intercepting proxy using IE8 and Windows 7, my intercepting proxy (Burp Suite) picked up an out of bound request sent to https://urs.microsoft.com/. This request contained an XML payload with my entire request to the corporate app which included my userid and password. This is a straight up man in the middle attack by IE8.

I have always thought of Larry as a sleazy used car salesman, but his recent Trump support has lowered my opinion of him considerably.

Re: Re: Right to Forget
I went on the Internet and checked. I'm still pretty sure they don't run the Internet.

We used to get the In-n-Out Burger stickers and cut off the "B" and "R" before putting them on our skateboards.
