I lived in Philadelphia, had a good rabbit ear set ran to my second story.
I had to adjust it to change channels sometimes, and would lose about ten percent of anything I was watching to static.
I assume it was proximity to a church (I read that was a problem), but whatever the cause, we would have happily paid $18/month for the major networks (in fact we did, that was the very basic cable price).
Well, they estimate the pirate bay can pull $12,000.00/month.
I'm not sure what their costs are, but it seems like best case scenario is a modest income for one person. Maybe showtime can do better as people watch there too?
I'd even bet they spend more on the systems that analyze the data (especially people that figure out how to) than the storage, likely by close to an order of magnitude.
I wonder what the real world is, because even half that should be enough for a city bus (500 miles = 20 hours at 25 mph). For a long haul bus, 12 @ 50 maye? = 600 miles (no idea the average greyhound speed, but 12 hours is a driver max shift I think).
for a long haul bus, a 1 hour stop (alleged charge time) every chunk of time less than 12 hours is reasonable too.
I have no idea how this transforms into real world, but it's very promising I think, people don't weigh that much compared to a bus.
The way you describe things it seems how google now handles my weekly routine.
It did a very good job of finding out where I go on Friday and Sunday with no input from me, I just started getting travel times about 4 hours before I would go. I can definitely picture a world where they can find these long cycles (or with your examples of vacation and school figure it out the first time from words used and time of year, and be better year two).
I don't know if they're that smart yet, but they very likely are (or will be soon), either way I see diminishing returns after 3 months. I'm not arguing against retention though, I happily will give away my (logged in) search data to them in exchange for better results. Similarly, if I had super private business needs, I'd buy a second burner phone, because what google now does with my search and location history is well worth the risk of my minor nefariousness being discovered.
I simply think that if something has been woven into the cultural fabric, using it in obvious satire should be allowed.
Like, it should be completely legal to use a character, even a recent one, to criticize (or praise) a politician by invoking the attributes of said character. Currently that's copyright violation.
Like comparing a caricature of a politician as Tony Soprano should be unambiguously fair use (IMO), but because the commentary is not on the original subject, it is not (the fact that it's political may tip it into fair use though).
A shorter term would allow recycling of good IP, which is a wholly different argument I have many opinions on too...
I just don't think it's cheap to take a something woven into the cultural fabric (even if recently) to comment on something else, especially if it's for commentary and not profit.
Yeah, certainly makes the case a lot harder. In a sane copyright system, at the very least anything posted to 4chan first would be free of encumbrance.
Because I bet the 3 month retention is a huge boost, if only in giving me history of older searches in auto complete.
Much more than that doesn't seem too helpful though, three months is a whole lot of searches, and should give plenty of information about what I'm searching for right now.
More than likely, by not pursuing, he has less financial damages (as he has pretty much been allowing it to be used license free for ages), but he can definitely send take downs and what not.
Just no willful infringement damages because "it was a meme everybody was using consequence free blah blah" should (though maybe not in reality) be a valid defense against knowing infringement.
Absolutely he can at any time ask any person to not post it, especially in the context of DMCA (which I assume will be the bulk of the efforts). If nobody can post Pepe publicly, it's good enough for him I'd think.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are similar enough linguistically that I could see a translator using one instead of the other (context free).
Slashdot Mirror
Are you saying there are less than 20 car accidents deemed no fault a week?
Strict gun laws price guns out of the reach of children for the most part.
But a tragedy like this is unlikely to be limited by them (as shown in Paris).
I'd love a search tool that let me filter out the pay sites I won't be able to read.

Does the pirate bay really get less than $12,000/month in advertising though?
Well, they estimate the pirate bay can pull $12,000.00/month.

Wouldn't that be a terrible way to distribute pads?
You'd simple need to listen to them, and then try various alignments until decrypted.
Also, 1 byte a second isn't much throughput.
And only for a short time until they dropped it I think.
I would think at least a month.
Sometimes I try to find an article to share with someone or some such.
I'd even bet they spend more on the systems that analyze the data (especially people that figure out how to) than the storage, likely by close to an order of magnitude.
So your argument is the search engine that forces people to do more effort is the one that gives vest results?

I know I often get frustrated looking for things because blocked videos.
I imagine it's harder to block altered content on a site like reddit though.
Valid points.

I agree with that too.

It's still the general law from a 1997 case.
I disagree with the part about GPs post of trying harder blah blah, and think the law is wrong, but it is the law.
I personally think using shared culture to convey ideas quicker is good and efficient, and should be permitted, but it's not.
That's Parody, not Satire (in the legal sense).
Parody, using a piece to make fun of something else, is less protected than people realize
https://www.techdirt.com/artic... (discusses a 1997 ruling).
If it's not directly commentary on the character Pepe (satire), it likely isn't fair use.
Though the fact that they're not monetized does help the case.
Likely it will be too expensive to pursue a fair use case for each and every instance, so the DMCA will win out.
Note, I'm unaware of the actual interview, so I could be wrong on all counts...

Isn't that how the fappening happened?
Apple didn't have attempt restrictions on its API access?
Not that shocking.

It's probably enough to stop people from casually using her computer.
If that was indeed the goal, it seems fine to me.
