> Content piracy has been identified as a significant problem in a more open and global environment.

No, it's really not
#yalereport

> There are two approaches to addressing piracy: first, copyright reform and, second, prohibiting unlawful actions that facilitate the reception of programs from Internet sites.

In other words it's not the actual piracy they want to prevent, it's enabling technology. Like FLOSS.

> australia as example

yeah

> With respect to the second approach, sections 9 and 10 of the Radiocommunication Act currently make it an offence to decode, retransmit, and operate devices, equipment, or components to receive an unlawfully decrypted subscription program. These provisions should be moved to the
broadcasting Act and expanded to include all forms of media content, whether received through satellites or through
the Internet.
>. Consequential amendments should also be made to ensure proper enforcement of these
provisions.

UGH, terrible, just terrible #canada

Doctors fear COVID-19 vaccines are messing with mammograms - Los Angeles Times
latimes.com/science/story/2021

Yet another example of how they rushed the deployment of these vaccines. That should have shown up in testing, and the issue could have been fixed or mitigated. But the trials were far too small to notice stuff like this.

New taxes (levies) suggested by #yalereport :

* Curation Provision of a service for dissemination of media content over which it
has editorial control (ie do you filter cp out of your #fediverse node?)
* Provision of a service for
aggregation and dissemination
of media content from media
curators
* Provision of a service enabling
users to share amateur or
professional media content

etc etc

BTW I published complete copies of all my Twitter DM's, Pond messages, and IRC chats with Isis Lovecruft: archive.org/download/todd-vs-l

Good for more researchers to be able to see this stuff and find more inconsistencies. Some mentions of Jacob Appelbaum in there.

Lovecruft of course claimed in court that I was abusive from the day they met me, and that we were never friends, just professional aquaintences... 😂

"This has me a bit confused: I look at the stats on cases and deaths per capita across various U.S. states, including California (which was very locked down, at least in theory) and Florida (which was flippant towards risks of contagion), and many states in between. The per capita cases+deaths are nearly identical across many states with very different approaches."

You can't cover up the facts forever. Eventually people do their own research.

Looks like every time I see an article about blood clots due to vaccine the risk is higher.
First articles stated that the risk was definitely less than 1/1M
Today I read one by the same MSM news that states risk is 1/22k

That’s about the same risk of being hospitalized if you test positive for Covid — for young healthy adults.

And who knows if the figure will keep going up!

@pete I like all the cope "news" articles with the identical "you made the right choice to take the shitty banned vaccine that we told you was safe but apparently isn't"

More wheels falling of the Covid19 wagon this week. It looks like this is a “no confidence” vote from the federal rank and file.

The Globe and Mail: The AstraZeneca fiasco is the latest example of the Gen X curse.
theglobeandmail.com/opinion/ar

While the author is obviously an idiot - he's a famous Canadian writer, what do you expect? - it does show how much health authorities screwed up by lying about how safe these vaccines were.

There's a small chance this is one of the biggest findings in scientific history: turns out there's things that look surprisingly like tiny fungal puffballs on Mars, and they seem to grow.

Also, there seems to be something that looks like fungal growths on on rovers. Which as the authors' point out, could easily be contamination from earth. Even that would be a finding with huge implications: life growing on another planet. Sure, life we introduced. But still!
