We just have to make sure we get some good scientists there so finding a cure won't take 100+ years

I think this is Spotify's response to Despotify.

When Despotify was released, they had a full office going "f*ck, our business is screwed".

They could have gone the route of lawyers and trying to silence or stopping the project, but instead they just fixed the security issues that came up, and let the open source project be for a while.

And now they release this. They're trying to reach out to the open source community, but their hands are tied because of where their money's coming from.

Same reasons they have to put geographic restrictions on the music in the first place.

yes, it sucks that they're being idiots. that's why it's good that we've got people to vote for to fight the good fight, the pirate party.

that lets people like me nvm all the fuss, and keep playing cowboys and indians.

i don't understand what all the fuss is about.

i stopped the downloading hubbub a long time ago, these days i just tunnel through a vpn to the us and watch things directly from streaming services like hulu.

i figured a lot of people would mention erlang, and thought someone might be interested in this writeup i read the other day http://yarivsblog.com/articles/2008/05/18/erlang-vs-scala/
