Try not to download stuff from shady sites. If you're really concerned with something run it through Jotti or Virustotal or VirSCAN.org.
Ignoring the fact that lots of malware doesn't come from "shady sites" and in fact comes from ad networks serving malware, most of the time unintentionally, on legitimate sites that show the ads.
And based on what evidence do you claim that most people are using AVG because of some mythical "computer guy" versus just downloading it themselves because some random website recommended it or it was simply preloaded by the OEM of their computer?
Next time your employer asks you to do something unfair such as donate a bunch of unpaid overtime or work extremely excessive hours, just fucking say NO.
And you're going to cover their bills and lost insurance benefits after they get fired?
Yes, the IRS is more than willingly to give you a refund after filing a tax return that shows that you paid more than you owed. It's pretty much codified in the tax code that they have to do that.
Now, before someone accuses me of siding with the Sunday Times, as I've said in another post this DMCA takedown is bullshit. But to say they can't use the DMCA is flat out wrong.
And the DMCA has a whole section about eligibility for US copyright protection for works from other countries. In fact, it's the first, fucking section!
And to add you don't even have to take my word for it. Read the damn DMCA. It has an entire section about eligibility of protection under US laws for works in foreign countries:
The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) each require member countries to provide protection to certain works from other member countries or created by nationals of other member countries. That protection must be no less favorable than that accorded to domestic works.
Section 104 of the Copyright Act establishes the conditions of eligibility for protection under U.S. law for works from other countries. Section 102(b) of the DMCA amends section 104 of the Copyright Act and adds new definitions to section 101 of the Copyright Act in order to extend the protection of U.S. law to those works required to be protected under the WCT and the WPPT.
The only people misinformed are the ones who have never read the DMCA like yourself.

Execpt they have pay products and their privacy policy explicitly says:
Unless the specific product states otherwise, all AVG products and services are included under this Privacy Policy.
So unless you have evidence otherwise, their paying customers are paying for the priviledge to have their privacy sold.

Poor guy. He had to leave with his golden parachute. *crocodile tears*
What do patent lawyers have to do with trademarks?
Yes it is difficult. That's why they are trying to solve the problem.
But that isn't the point of this. It's how to verify that your binary doesn't have tampered with source code.
Yes to the medical research reproducibility.
They can't. The quote even says so.
Why? Are filesystems important for NBA team owners?
Next time your employer asks you to do something unfair such as donate a bunch of unpaid overtime or work extremely excessive hours, just fucking say NO.

Well this is historic. For once, a presidential campaign has a candidate specifically for identity thieves and credit card fraudsters.
Does Germany have a codified fair use? You do realize that Fair Use is not a universal concept, right?
Which isn't really the same thing. You're conflating compilers and interpreters as if they were the same thing.
Says what law?
Sure, but Google is not legally obligated to pay you ad money for it.
That's why most people have water filters.

You have a rural church from the Middle Ages?
Yes, the IRS is more than willingly to give you a refund after filing a tax return that shows that you paid more than you owed. It's pretty much codified in the tax code that they have to do that.
So tax refunds don't exist in your bizarro world? The IRS has never once given my tax refund to anyone but me.
It's simply fair use regardless of being news.

I'm not confused by anything. You've clearly never read either the DMCA or any of the relevant WIPO treaties that it implements.
