$500k for first offence and $1m for each next offence. At "tens", we're talking about $20-90m? So, that means 21-91 DVDs. In other news, if you wilfully share a copyrighted picture of an American citizen, that's a $500,0

An Australian who had never been to USA was extradited and jailed despite not for profit too. On release, they got re jailed for being in USA illegally. They only got deported back to Australia on the condition they never visit USA in futur

Easy way to kill distributors AND support creators with this small change: Have copyright return to creators after a period of time, ie 20 years. Billions of dollars will be spent fighting hints of this suggestion.

Want to boost IP creation by creators and make distributors beg? Have copyright return to creators after 20 or so years after they've been transferred via whatever contracts. Lots of renegotiations will mean lots of money for Picassos

Even if you're 100% confident in off leash, one time they run across a road for treat / squirrel/ family / friend, its game over. We believe in off leash too but dogs don't understand dangers like we do. I wish we c

Australian governments would easily send their own citizens to foreign countries they never been to, for non violence offences like copyright infringement. UK is way better than Australia in terms of bill of rights, etc.

They have the biggest brand. Brand shaming could lead to change not just them but ripple effect on other plastic using companies.

Coca-Cola privatises the profits from sales and socialises the plastic costs. Even if people don't litter, there are landfills increasingly filling with plastic not being reused. The solution is quite mundane, a plastic bottle tax to p

1. Mobile phone 2. Google Live Transcribe app This is how I handle Zoom meetings as partially deaf. Its fairly accurate and plus you can use a second mobile too. Downside is that it will pick up everyone, including your voice.

Not grandparent but for me: 1) only certain notifications that are important have unique sound, vibrate, etc. 2) other semi important notifications flash. Light is not that bright to notice. 3) other notifications have numbers on app so the

That's not a problem but a feature of government. Otherwise the government will just focus on dirt roads and horses. Don't like taxes? Move to Somalia.

Losing the news is a threat to democracy or great news if you want to bring back rule by the minority. Why? Voters need to be well informed but are increasingly getting less and less alternative sources and eventually none. Some new age med
