It would be weird if the protests had a big effect on the predicted votes. Who would be all for the AfD and then suddenly go “yeah well, I changed my mind now”?
The protests should mainly convince the government to finally start the process to ban the AfD.
4 million.
2 million would be 1%.
I would definitely want my door locked for that.
Part of the reason might be that a serif font for something viewed on screen is in most cases (this one included) just out of place.
I think it’s technically still there… hidden behind custom fronts.
Google had deals that were revealed. For example Spotify was exempt from paying those 30%.
Tell me which so I can develop a competing service and steal your userbase!
I can still throw away my fire tv stick then. At the moment it still does the job I bought it for and I won’t produce unnecessary garbage for something that might happen in the future.
Remember that there were also big campaigns against tape recorders and VCR. They even managed to get VCR vendors to implement a feature that prevents users from skipping ads. So it’s not like it’s simply legal, the media corps were just not as successful in their lobbying as they are today.
You can btw “simply” opt out from this in the settings (look for “featured content” and disable it).
Yes it should be opt-in, but it’s not that hard to keep the fire tv (stick) being a good device for the price paid.
If only GeForceNow was available there. And Kodi.
Hopefully the regulation by the EU fixes this, then I am on board.
“Honey, can you bring me the medium sized one from the kids pile? You know, the one with the blond hair? I want to bring her to school today. Oh and have you seen my car keys perhaps?”
That’s not easier than not needing a VPN in the first place.
De de de de de … DEEE de de de de de …
Piracy has never been easier or safer or faster than it is now
What?! It was way easier and safer in the era of Napster, edonkey and emule. Easy discoverability and companies didn’t pay any attention yet. Since then it’s a cat and mouse game.
That could help, but if a file is not shared that much (yet) or not many people are online at the moment, a single peer will still share many more parts, likely ending up with having shared significant amounts.
That is essentially how bittorrent works anyway. In Germany people lost in court over this. Also portions of a copyrighted file are a problem. If they can “proof” that they got a relevant portion (more than the typical fair use seconds) you are still on the hook.
Nice idea, but then everytime a video that contains anything licensed by the content mafia is uploaded (even partly), the user in question breaks that license opening themselves up to lawsuits.
In a perfect world where only properly free content is shared that model would work. But that is not how most content shared on YouTube looks like.
