This is what corporations are about. But up the smaller successful offerings so people can use your crappier offerings for a price.

Karl Marx saw this coming over 150 years ago
The final end result of mass mechanized production is that the available workers will far outnumber the available jobs, and this is the problem that communism was intended to solve.
Unfortunately, communism has earned a fatally bad reputation after being misused by so many dictators during the 20th century.
That is because you can't put all the power into the hands of the few. Doesn't matter which type of government you run, if you leave the power in the hands of the few, corruption will happen, always.
The DMCA does not allow you to refuse to process notices due to unpaid processing fees. Therefore, if they refuse to pay the fee, you are still required to process all their notices anyway, or you lose safe harbor.
Okay, then let's do this the way. If you don't pay the fines, then your DMCA notices are put in the low priority queue. You pay your fines, we put you back in the high priority queue.
That works for Netflix & Comcast, so I don't see why it shouldn't work for DMCA notices.
People see this law for what it is, a way for the rich/politicians/scum to get rid of stories that make them look like the twats they are.
I have trouble focusing my thoughts on stuff for longer then 20 seconds at a time. I can do it, but I have trouble, very easily distracted, mainly by my own thoughts.
Now my ADHD doesn't like me doing nothing for 15 minutes, but I can be alone with my own thoughts, dang, it's how i entertain myself.
TBH, I'd probably space out and not even realize 15 minutes have gone by.
I live alone, I prefer to be alone, my biggest contact with people is thru online video games. And most the time I'm trying to kill them (just kidding, I play EQ2 mainly, love raiding).
We are social creatures, but get the fuck off my lawn before i shoot you.
It's too bad that there's not a higher bar for "good faith." It'd be nice if it could be more readily disproven, in some cases.
"I did a Google search for [term] and have a good faith belief that there's no possible way any of the results could be non-infringing. Because I can't believe that any of the results could possibly be non-infringing, I'm not going to examine any of the results more closely. I require you to remove all these results I came up with or be subject to liability under ridiculous laws if it turns out my head isn't *completely* up my ass. In addition, unless you can *prove* that I'm not acting in good faith, through a time-consuming and expensive process, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it! Have a nice day! ---Jackass-in-a-suit"
Screw good faith. Places need to start charging to process DMCA notices, and then when they get fake or bad, or just plain wrong notices like this, you then charge them 1000x the price. They don't pay? Then you don't process any more DMCA notices from them.
I thought we were about capitalism, this is capitalism at it's finest. Money is the only thing these people/corporations understand, so speak their language. They want to not be responsible about DMCA notices, then make it cost them.
A Boleto is essentially a document that allows a customer to pay an exact amount to a merchant.
So, like, a bill. How unlike us stupid norteamericanos, who of course just pay completely random and imprecise amounts to merchants.
(Cue all the people telling me how stupid and parochial I am
I get bills all the time, I don't pay most of them.
Hmm, that makes me wonder, can I just start sending official looking bills to people and see if they pay them?
Charge for DMCA take down request. Charge 100x for fake/bogus/false ones.
Not sure why places don't do that, If i was google, I'd charge a $1000 for every false/wrong DMCA notice I got, I'm guessing that will start getting people checking them before sending them.
Wish I could get laid...
.. (Religion isn't that big in Germany anyway,...
Ya, I bet it's hard to be religious in a country that has in most recent history tried to eradicate a religious population. You just don't know when your religion is going to be next...
Please don't do an audio countdown. It doesn't work for us hard of hearing people.
Doesn't work for us that have our music players on. Plus you got the noise of the traffic, so it would need to be loud, which probably would then be heard by the cars, mainly if they have their window down and no music playing.
How about you use crappy LCD screens that you pretty much have to be in front of it to see, so the people in the cars would be at the wrong angle to see it?
But it is impossible to "not use any confidential information he had access to" without surgery. It's in your brain, you will use it if the situation arises.
I'm waiting for a Restaurant to sue another Restaurant when the chef changes job.
"He can't boil water without using the techniques he learned at our restaurant!!!"
stupid gits
He's lucky they didn't kill him.
In our state the cops have killed people with their batons, tasers, pistols and assault rifles for less than this. Of course, every time this happens the cops get off scott free without even a reprimand and with full paid leave during the "investigation" into the "incident". Cops are killing citizens left and right. These are not isolated incidenses but a problem with police mentality. Kill first, ask questions later.
oh, you must live in Washington State.
If you aren't happy with the current features of a smart watches then sit down and make your own, that's what I did, so instead of complaining I just solved my own issue.
I just strap my cellphone onto my wrist.

Ya, sorry, I know it's stupid, I'm out of weed currently.
