• On the post: Making Mobile Video Streaming Better By Operating In The 'Unused Spectrum' Of Copyright Law

  Re: Seems dubious

  It sounds like the idea behind 'layers' is to have you download the 3/4 worth of data in such a way that it is completely useless without the last 1/4. If that is the case its hard to argue copyright infringement on what amounts to a random heap of bytes.

  This site is called TechDirt. The stories on the NSA spying are EXACTLY what this site should talk about.
