one of the things is going to be, is it a conclusion that the average person could come to. If you make a trophy for going faster while taking a picture. Do you imagine it will promote, and may be involved in, situations where the driver is taking a selfie while going faster?
In a climate where we've got PSAs over the dangers of driving and texting, and we've got people dying over taking "interesting" selfies... I think a reasonable person would come to the logical conclusion that there are people out there that will take "interesting" selfies while driving, where "interesting" is a very high speed.
we want corporations to work toward the betterment of society. This feature was negligent, pure and simple.
wait... i get rear ended, by a car going 50 miles over the speed limit... i don't care what the fuck you're doing... you could be black out drunk and stopped and i'd still say it wasn't your fault.
i don't personally make a distinction between producing a physical key and a non-physical key. self-incrimination is a qualitatively different thing in my mind.
if he should be compelled to pay money in alimony, which you know, he should be. then that is no different than trying to compel a password out of someone. essentially.
if it becomes too hard to convince others that those barriers are secure, then they'll lose all their content and get sued into oblivion essentially.
for the content producers, netflix isn't the prime revenue stream, it's just a competitive one. at some point everybody will say, F- this, netflix "piracy" is cutting too much into our other revenue streams. Lets remove our things from netflix entirely.
essentially, someone who if you sold enough of these services to in big numbers, you'd be violating some contract somewhere.
I don't know, but I'm pretty damn confident that there's a contract somewhere between netflix and content producers, defining exactly who it would be a breach of contract to sell what to.
you didn't buy access to the same library as others. you bought access to the canadian library of content that netflix has available. did they lie to you and suggest you would be getting access to the US library of content?
if you found a way to circumvent the barrier they erected to separate the two libraries, good for you. but when come with a way patch the hole in the barrier you were using... i don't think you really have a right to complain.
you were never offered, as a canadian, the content that was provided to american customers, you were offered the content that was promised for canadian customers. that is my point.
if you lied about being an canadian customer, then that's on you.
but you didn't buy it. you paid for access to things they were offering to show you. you didn't pay for access to things they were offering to show me.
actually this is one of the imo legitimate things that VPN blocking will fuck up. watching programs that netflix makes available in in the US and another country, where subtitles in a foreign language are provided in the other country and not in the US. Netflix needs to make subtitles in foreign languages, that they obviously already have on file, available to every region.
actually, in that case, the value of the property is devalued in other countries.
lets use amimojo's example above, hbo, sky and game of thrones.
if vpn blah blah blah is prevalent enough, and sky gets wind, the strength of hbo's negotiating position is weakened. why would sky pay for the license of a property that people can get super easy through netflix? HBO might increase its revenue through netflix, but would take a hit in what they get from sky. HBO would probably lose money actually, because it is most likely significantly more profitable currently to give that license for UK broadcast to SKY than to netflix currently... or you know, netflix would have that license.
if netflix does nothing to make vpn harder, then content producers are going to have to start taking a good hard look at seeing if their revenue from US distribution of that content through netflix is more advantageous than through their other channels. Netflix could just straight up lose the property entirely, or get sued by HBO for something or other.
... why exactly isn't it fair that you can't watch game of thrones exactly?
i'm fairly sure it'll come out on DVD at some point. and won't cost 100s of lbs. so not only is it simply a desire you have, it's a desire you can fulfill easily given time. HBO decided that SKY was apparently the best people to distribute their content in the UK. Sky decided that given their portfolio game of thrones would sweeten the pot enough to drive more subscriptions and presumably cover that licensing cost through more subscriptions or retention.
sure one can pirate it, and i probably would if i cared enough about that show. but i wouldn't try and pretend that i'd be justified, that my hand was forced in some way. I want it, and i don't mind breaking those particular laws. my downside is the risk of getting caught, that niggling of guilt for stealing people's livelihood, if i think of it long enough, my contribution to the moral decay of society, etc. etc.:) mine is pc games, and right now, they'll get my money, if i think they deserve it. xcom2 for example, i preordered that shit, because i think firaxis needs people to "vote" that they make more games like that. I'd like to, with my money, strap jake solomon to the x-com wheel and have him keep churning out these kinds of games.
my relationship with content is... interesting. I'll go see sicario 2 in theaters for example, because I enjoyed my pirated copy for sicario, they deserve my money now, and I honestly would not have seen it if pirating weren't an option. (it was a contest between boredom and it being slightly outside my typical genre) But now that i've seen it and enjoy it, I owe them money, and i want them to keep making these kinds of films. If it's really indie, and i think it's something worthy i'll hunt it down in theaters to give them my money too. like "the act of killing".
... if you paid netflix, you purchased the right to live stream whatever they have explicitly or implicitly offered IN YOUR REGION. you made an agreement with netflix canada, not netflix-USA effectively.
they paid whoever owns the content in the USA to distribute in the USA. If they distributed it to canadians, without paying whoever owns the rights in canada, they'd probably get sued by the canadian rights holder.
so effectively, you're angry at netflix for not contravening canadian laws to give you access to things that they don't own.
you're all angry at netflix for not pirating content for you on your behalf.
the issue is kind of that it's not just a hassle for us, it's also a hassle for like, half our hemisphere. the USD isn't exactly like every other currency in the world. it's all over the place, it's hoarded, because it's stable and it doesn't change all that much.
you start swapping the pictures around every couple years, and people might start hoarding the yuan, because they'll know it'll look the same in 20 years.
nah, i understood the appeal. during that time, he was "of the people" cheese and whiskey for all. but looking at him with a modern lens, he wasn't all that reliable, was kind of a dick,
not offended, but he was kinda a dick. even in grade school, when i didn't know what "kinda a dick" was, he still came off as kinda a dick in comparison to our other presidents.
i think we stopped changing the portraits and designs because they were good enough... and changing them costs money, and there's no real reason to. what advantage does changing the portrait have over not changing the portrait? are we really that excited about who is on the money? fucks with counterfeiters sure, but also causes some confusion during the transition.
... you're describing the light that reflects off them, and not their intrinsic pigmentation.
the pigment of my pen is blue, so blue light predominantly reflects off it and it absorbs most of the rest of the spectrum. it's how humanity has chosen to classify you know, color.
i'd prefer hamilton stay than jackson. jackson always seemed like kind of a dick. and hamilton like someone who could have gone on to do some even better things if not for getting shot.

eh, throw him away for 15 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
until it's clear that he either forgot or you're convinced even if he was lying, further incarceration isn't getting you anywhere.
i can also claim to have lost 2.5 million dollars. and get thrown in jail for 14 years to prove that even if i have it, you won't get it from me.

:), hey look at this container of goods, i bought it in china for the equivalent of 500 USD in yuan.
what do you mean i have to pay a tariff on it to bring it back home with me? what the fuck do you mean i can't sell it, it's mine, wtf?
i'd like to point out that it doesn't matter if the currency is local or foreign.

but you didn't buy it. you paid for access to things they were offering to show you. you didn't pay for access to things they were offering to show me.
are you sure its not available? or is it simply available at a price you're not willing to pay?
