If they hadn't encrypted everything so you needed a STB on every TV, it would have helped. Pay for cable service, hook up TV, get content. But no, even the local channels ended up be encrypted, so built-in tuners couldn't do shit.

A couple years ago, one of the base security officers in charge of making sure all his SP's/MP's/security guys/whatevers knew where everything (classified) was and how to get there fast... Including the big boys... aka nukes. So naturally to make it fun and interactive to stimulate learning, he dumped all the questions (and answers) into Kahoot, the Norwegian online trivia engine. (Or one similar to it).

My way of saying I'm a little wary of some of these officers using this stuff.

slashdot is awash in skeptics. And not just skeptics, the most closed-minded ones I've seen. I've seen MAGA supporters get better treatment on Reddit than believers in ET's here.

And you outlaw libraries, lest the content inside influences you in any way, and forms opinions that will be similar to what you read or saw. So.. museums, too.

"I have this DMCA-violating software patch that would be illegal for me to share, and nobody else has."

24 hours later:
"I have no idea how that got out there"

Everyone believes Ryan Reynolds about leaking the Deadpool test footage, too.

So did you remove it for all customers, or just accounts that had California in the billing or address fields?

SiriusXM is how I know.

Same thing when I tried to get rid of Sirius the second time. They were billing a soon-to-expire credit card and it was such a pain in the ass to cancel the first time, I just let it expire. They then billed me for "continuity of service" for an extra month and threatened collections on me.

Geez can't you just give the FTC credit on one issue where they're getting it right? It's shocking this is happening under a R administration as it is.

You mention Paypal specifically, but as far as CC's and checking account billing:

FTA:

Consumers who try to cancel their memberships by stopping charges to their bank or credit card find they are rebilled, often under new account numbers.

How do you know it was unencrypted on their end, storage?

Yeah but Solution (actual) caveats are: "You don't really own the content. We can erase it from our service, and thus your computer or device at some point in the future with no recourse available to you because copying it is illegal or technically infeasible." And guess how many of the assholes are lining up to make sure that stops.

ACCEPTABLY... Acceptably... Acceptable.... LY! Bye bye!

morons was too harsh. I'm sorry.

Soap Operas did not suffer from evil twin or amnesia stories. In the same way, "genre"/"pop culture"/comic book/star * movies lend themselves to the fantastical plot-lines like multiverse, resurrection, and time-travel. Where else are you going to put it? Farrelly brothers comedies? That's how you get Hot Tub Time Machine.
