Talk to Facebook and Google sometime. Data is money. Period. What the fuck do you think Amazon does. Why do you think you get spam and targeted ads. Data is collected about you all the fucking time. Every click, every app, every web site, data about your habits are being collected.
Tim Cook knows this. So he's throwing out the narrative that Apple cares about privacy though NEVER explicitly stating Apple will do anything about it.
LMOL someone who doesn't understand the economics of it. The reason Netflix took on more debt is to create NEW CONTENT. That means Netflix will need to continue to make NEW CONTENT. That's how it works. You attract and retain customers with new content.
And market cap is meaningless. It's not actual earnings. They've also increased their debt by 71%. So they better hope to get a boatload of new subscribers.
LMOL. Really? And how much is that content going to cost? What are the production costs? And debt needs to be paid back.
What do you men by content costs should stabilize? Why? Content costs increase year over year. Just look at what any of the networks charge cable and the like to carry their content. So Netflix works in a magical world where production costs don't operate the same?
It's called diminishing returns moron. How much are you willing to pay for the content you watch on Netflix? We've already seen that with cable. People's cable bills got so high that subscribers cut the cord. Switched to Netflix and the like. But now content costs for Netflix are increasing. Netflix is taking on more debt, a huge amount. They need to make the money back. So subscriber rates are going to increase.
LMOL. People are fucking stupid. Repeat after me CONTENT COSTS MONEY. Why do you you think cable bills kept going up? The driver of the cable bill is content! Jesus christ people wake the fuck up. It's pretty fucking easy. ESPN paid the NFL $15 Billion dollars to carry Monday Night Football for 10 years. What do you think happened to people's cable bills.
And how much are you willing to pay? That's the point. Content costs money. That's why people's cable bill exploded.
People started cutting the cord and smugly proclaimed they'll "Watch Netflix Insead" - all the while ignore the fact that content costs money and it would be a matter of time before content cost would hit Netflix.
Well boys and girls, it just did. "Netflix's long-term debt had reached $8.34 billion, up 71% from $4.89 billion in the year ago quarter..." is a huge whopping increase. Investors are not going to like it and your Netflix cost just went up.
"The EU Could Vote to Wreck the Internet Tomorrow"
"As noted previously, the proposal is being driven by rights holders frightened by technological change, including brick and mortar publishers eager to blame companies like Google for their failure to evolve in the modern internet era."
No the internet will not be wrecked tomorrow. No this is not driven by businesses that failed to "evolve in the modern internet era."
Stop being a fucking ass-hole and report the facts. That's all you need to do, promoting FUD does not help your argument.
And need I point out that you're being fucking hypocrite and Luddite when you say businesses need to evolve in the internet age but at the same time say technology solutions (automated copyright systems) won't work in policing copyrighted works. So you need to evolve but only to a certain point?
So no boys and girls this was not North Korea. This is an attempt by the Military Industrial Complex to gin up tensions with North Korea in order to prevent detente. Because you know war is profitable but peace is not. Stocks for military contracts took a tumble when the US was negotiating with North Korea.

Names and addresses of people who "WANT their data mined"
No people do not want their data mined. They don't want their data collected period. Point of fact, nobody asked them in the first place.

Try this number US$559 million in 2017. That's their profit or net income. $12 Billion is revenue not profit. Profit = revenue - expenses.
People need to study finance before making inane comments.

Because that's how financing works. When you issue stock, it's considered long term debt.
It's not free. You're paying for it. I love people who think, hey it's free. It's part of the Prime subscription and a driver of cost increases.

*Sigh* Because an engineer working as a contractor is the same as an Uber driver. Nice one Potsy...
Tell that to a court in the UK.
People make less working for Uber.
And a Court in Great Britain said Uber drivers were in fact employees not contractors. Funny how that works, real court cases.
This and that a UK Court said the same thing.

It matters moron because these people can't be extradited. So this is theater, this is just for show. Get a fucking clue.
Were those servers on US soil? Just because a subsidiary is domiciled in the US does not mean their servers are.
Location matters for jurisdiction purposes.
And those are subsidiaries of Sony Corporation which is a Japanese corporation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
