Of course they could have negotiated that. They didn’t just forget. They choose to not pay whatever additional cost Studio Canal would have wanted for a perpetual license. Knowing that, they turned around and deceived people into buying som

Same for me. I have boycotted Sony since the rootkit fiasco. I’m also still angry that, even though intentionally hacking a computer system is a criminal offence, not a single Sony employee was prosecuted or even arrested. Sony committed a

The mods of LegalAdviceUK are pretty strict about keeping the discussion to only actual legal advice, rather than moral or other topics.

I think what the author is saying is akin to that old joke about a broken machine that nobody at the company can fix. They bring in a high priced consultant who spends a few minutes looking at the machine, reaches in and pushes a switch and

By VPS, I mean a generic compute instance that can run whatever you want. Like a Linux instance. I'm not sure what you mean by "VPN providers offer VPS as a substitute" in that context. Paying by card isn't enough to ver

I don't understand what "VPN providers move onto VPS to avoid" means? Can you clarify? I can't see how they could apply it to VPS providers without meaning AWS, GCP, Digital Ocean, etc would all start having to do age ve

No, it’s more fundamental than fair use. Fair use is a defence to a copyright infringement. It’s an argument that, yes, I did violate the copyright of the creator, but my violation should be allowed. The issue here is, what are creators all

But there's no evidence in the OP's post that they have, in fact, discovered the domain. The only thing posted is that there is a GET request to a listening web server. The OP and all the people talking about certificates are maki

The OP is misunderstanding what's happened, based on what's been posted. The OP has a server with an IP address. They're seeing GET requests in the server's logs and is assuming people have found the server's DNS na

This is a pretty naive take on both product delivery and restaurants.

I’m guessing the strain on the spooled end is less and you want the end most likely to detach close to the ground where you might be able to reattach it, vs in the drone where it would fall to the ground and be unfixible.

That unusual. He’d only be obliged to continuing his job during his notice period. Not a different job. Sounds like he didn’t know his rights. Most UK contracts will also include a clause allowing the company to end the employment immediate

Airplanes are not airtight, so the system is designed to continue to pressurise the cabin as the air escapes. As they didn’t go above 14,000 feet, I’m guessing it could keep up with the pressure loss from the windows.

Customers are rarely able to express their underlying issue. They usually communicate what they think the solution is. A good product person is able to drill down to the fundamental problem the customer really has and articulate that to eng

Hmm. I’m a product manager. I never speak at stand ups. It’s not my meeting, it’s the team’s. If something needs further discussion, then a follow up discussion with one or two people is enough.

Yup, this is exactly why I don’t subscribe. I already pay for Spotify so I don’t need another music service. I’d happily pay for just no ads.

If the Citation pilot had the southwest plane in sight when they reached the decision height and kept going, rather than go around, wouldn’t that be an error on their part?

I’m sure you know this, but it’s not just regulator’s ire. It is a criminal act in and of itself to disclose that someone is a target of an investigation. And it’s not just a criminal act for the organisation, but the individual customer se

True, although unlike a taxi, I can see during the trip the route the driver should be taking and, after the trip, I can see the route the driver actuall took. And, if the route taken is unreasonably different from the optimal route, I can

If he owns a legally made copy of the source code, and I accept that’s a big if, then he is perfectly within his rights to sell that single copy under the first sale doctrine. It’s a shame that this bit of history will likely end up lost.
