Nothing says rent.

It doesn’t need an update, it needs enforcement. The law is about copyright holders losing rights at time of sale, not the specific media that the copyrighted material exists on.

The EU enforced their first sale doctrine on Valve.

The physical media is whatever is playing the content. The law doesn’t specify the media.

1909, one year after the Supreme Court ruling: “Your honor, I know that the Supreme Court ruled that publishers can’t add a shrink wrap license that prohibits cheap resale of copyrighted work but you see, I delivered the content on llamas where it was printed onto scrolls at the customer’s home so the law doesn’t apply. You wrote the laws thinking about trains and ships transporting books and I use neither.”

maybe more to the publishers not allowing that

It’s not up to publishers. Publishers tried to put a disclaimer on books preventing cheap resale. The Supreme Court struck it down and it was written into law over 100 years ago.

tech feudalism

I use Steam but Gabe was one of the original tech feudalists.

Valve ignores the First Sale Doctrine, a law for over a hundred years. So now instead of being able to resell your games for whatever amount you want, your games are forever under the control of Valve.

I’m sure “functionally necessary” already means we share your data with everyone because we setup a system where the local page state is managed by third parties that we are selling your data to.

I used to run an ISP. Unlike you, I know what I’m talking about.

StarLink does fiber back haul from base stations. So it’s either your Telco spending the money or StarLink. Your Telco doesn’t want to spend the money because it comes from customers and would require rate hikes that are regulated.

Whereas StarLink is spending its investor’s money.

Wireless trunking can do 10GBs . Fiber does 800GBs. Chaining more towers means more are funneled through that last 10GBs link.

Yes it was. It forced Russia to spend resources retaking their own land instead of using those resources to take more of Ukraine.

Fiber needs to be run to the towers. It’s easier to install more towers but it’s still an expense.

The chart is labeled “border encounters”, not illegals that snuck in the border without being stopped. That data proves Biden found and arrested more than Trump. It specifically says it includes all those arrested or sent back.

Biden stopped more illegals than Trump.

Biden arrested more illegals than Trump.

But Trump knows that if a lie gets repeated enough it will become truth.

The middle of nowhere Montana has more pollution than downtown Dallas?

Is Putin aware of this map? Is he going to return Smolensk back to its traditional Lithuanian?
