We need to talk. Good luck with going against this current administration. Piss them off and they all will be on the short end of an audit and an anti-trust action.
And perhaps the EPA, DNR, and any other agency that is bored this week.
Um, i was out working for the largest private IT firm on the planet in the 1980s. Idiot. I doubt you were out of diapers yet.
Aso, you really don't wish i was your child: 1 - id have beat you to a pulp on a regular basis with your attitude and 2- id have left home at 16 to get away from your stupid ass, and never looked back.
From what i understand, a lot of that cost was infrastructure, not code. That can be reused even if the application was burnt to the ground and started fresh.
Only works if you like popular music in your area. If you like something more alternative, or just from a different part of the country, local broadcast is rather inadequate.
Today we have this thing called the internet to be able to experience music unavailable locally. But it wasn't all that long ago where all you had was a few odd magazines like goldmine.
They have been dismantling it by attrition and entropy for decades now. This just puts an official stake in its heart. Analog also seems to scare large companies these days...
Do i agree this should be done? No, but its reality.
What are they going to do, sue me? Let me see - me and about 3000 other seeders, and a few hundred leeches.
Yes, they just might. With today's automated harvesting and suit-filing you really cant hide in the crowd. Its trivial to sue *everyone* attached to a torrent.
What can they take? Everything you have, and everything you ever will have..
And since a lot of us now live under bandwidth limitations, who would want to run an exit node?
That doesn't even address the potential for the feds to arrive at your door due to some moron out there trying to browse kiddie pron that happens to come out thru your node..
Unless we had 'protected' entities with enough bandwidth handling all the exits to the 'open net', then the concept of making this 'the standard' is flawed.
( freenet has a similar issue with bandwidth use.. who can afford to contribute what is needed? )

No. He was just mis-quoted to get people all pissed off and get some ad revenue.
When you have companies above them?
Sounds like the stock market, and that seems to be taken seriously.
Well, they would be using their patented technology, so yes they can ( and will )
JP has the money to avoid that little inconvenience. This will go thru, and the will sue bitcoin.

Don't talk down to me like I'm some doddering old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn.
Actually it was the opposite, that you are a snot nosed kid that doesn't understand history past your last summer break from high school.

You keep trying again and again until the opposition blinks. .Then its too late.
No, they will be forced to listen to it if the RIAA has its way. And pay out the ass for the requirement.
Who needs explosives, for a few weeks at least they can just mix in with crowds and radiate them....
Soon no one will be able to do stuff on their own, as they will be sued into oblivion just for thinking about something.
But this is stupid. Really stupid.

Yes. That is why it was labeled as funny. You know, 'humor'.
No one is truly free on this planet. Its only an illusion.

It's already been done. Its called 'FreeNet'.

Love the ride down that slope.. ( it accelerates towards the end, so bring seat belts )
Can everyone side-load these days or do some carriers still lock that down?
Yes.
i am not so sure Ubuntu was really ever needed in the first place, but since its going down hill, might as well go back to their core.
Nothing is perfect. Percent of bad products is the key, not pure quantity. ( and how its taken care of afterward )
