Article 5. No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Article 6. Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.
Article 9. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Article 10. Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.
Article 11.
(1) Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence.
(2) No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the penal offence was committed.
The perversity is that a country:
- needs to have a legal framework for copyrights (based on treaties that made some sense in the pre-digital era),
- needs to (based on that treaty) codify which infringements to the basic copyright it allows,
- needs to set up compensation the rights holders for it.
The levy might not cover "piracy", it's probably for some other type of "infringement" like 'home copy', so you don't even have a "valid claim".
Empiric evidence differs. Just like huge intimidating bodybuilder who turn out to be very nice guys, I have more confidence in a gun carrying republican than a sneaky slim frustrated liberals...
I don't object much to using 'imperial' and 'metric' (NATO) designations for bullets, most of the time it's clear what's intended. I do think it's weird and unwise (see Mars Climate Orbiter) to mix units when talking about something else.
For those who are confused, 7.62x63mm is the metric designation for a.30-06.
Confusion was intended:
"We could stop the bullet at a total thickness of less than an inch, while the indentation on the back was less than 8 millimeters," says Afsaneh Rabiei.
But it's nice to know they somewhat cater for the Liberians, the USAmericans and the rest of the world.
I've installed a lot of Asian character sets and now see routinely weird characters pop up on websites. It seems that some arrows and other navigational character codes are also assigned to Vietnamese or Cambodian characters.
I'm Dutch, I live in Chile and I've run into a few annoyed/angry "well, we're American(s) too" situations with the locals. So I use "USAmerican" as the pc version of what the people here just call "gringo/gringa".
But companies are arguing hard that they can't be sued for damages resulting from data breaches, because the "victims" can't show that they were harmed by the theft.
Maybe because nothing was stolen in the first place.

Nobody's forcing you to publish it in a digital format though. Bytes can be easily copied, by the maker and everyone else.
They've now invented EmacsOS for mobiles and think it's going to make people happy.

Generally if Linus is railing on you about something, it's ...

Yeah, I reckon those "persistent pirates" pay for the best plans.
So you trust your compiler. Interesting...
