Next step would be for the copyright-enforcement industry to sue VPN providers, claiming that they are making excessive profits by letting users sidestep the geofences, and so they must share some of the profits.

> geofences Geofences are a great way to start copyright reform. Bobby from Zambezia downloaded your new X-heroes movie, and you're complaining about piracy losses? How can you claim losses, if you're geofencing your content and don't want Bobby's money?!

Offer a mail-order service for a billion dollars! Then, you're losing a billion dollars for every download.

Just like Quebecois is not really French

Hmm, I would still say that Quebecois is French, but with some (maybe many) local words. Swiss-German is really a dialect (actually multiple dialects).

Weekend in Quebecois: Le fin du semaine

Weekend in French: Le weekend

I only did a quick search, I probably just remember their interface from when Google started :)

Praying they don't touch Brave browser! Most of my YouTube is thorough it these days.

Isn't this totally irrelevant? Do you really expect a DMCA takedown for a browser? So why mention it? I guess it's an IMoB (Irrelevant Mention of Brave)

Probably talking about ad-blockers? Not sure why brave was brought up as ad-blockers aren't brave-specific.

Lets say I rephrase to: >also one of the reasons most of europe has freedom today and not a german dictatorship is the US in WW2 How does that invalidate my argument? What is your alternative explanation for why the US has outsized impact on laws in europe today?

First, you directly stated that the US involvement in WWII was the only reason Europe has freedom and that "is something europeans forget", which is wrong and invalid. Second, while it is true that US power projection through the military is one of the ways it influences other countries, including in Europe, it isn’t the only way. The US dollar is the most held reserve currency in the world and is the standard for ex…

The dollar being used for exchanges is because the USA is imposing it with their army. The countries that think to do otherwise get bombed, or at the very least their terrorists become suddenly very well armed.

Nowadays europeean countries interventions in Africa are still very similar to proxy wars, despite the EU and all.

> but then what is your explanation? Decades of Holywood propaganda and related American cultural exports. There is a reason the Pentagon gives free access to military equipment to Holywood studios, but only if the military is depicted positively / in a heroic manner.

You think Europe lets the US dictate policy and enforce extradition because of... Hollywood? And not because of the position the US has on the world stage by having the biggest army and the world currency? Because that's the argument I'm making.

In addition to calcifer's arguments, I would suggest you consider that there are multiple aspects of power apart from military. There is financial, economic, cultural, diplomatic and so forth.

There is a book called "When Titans Clashed" that may be of interest to you in regards to your statement about "europe has freedom today and not a german dictatorship is the US in WW2."

the red army didn't invade Berlin in your alternate universe? Also USA funded terrorism, mafia, in italy… not something to brag about.

How many military bases does Russia have in Germany and the rest of europe? How much control does Russia have on europe in terms of enforcing laws, extraditing citizens vs the US? Do you really not see the difference? I don't like the fact that the US has this presence or influence in europe, but it is factual. Why you think stating a fact is braging, I'm not sure.

You seem to forget that there were quite a few bases in Europe under the Soviet flag, which ended with the dissolution of the USSR.

Only you can decide whether you think this was the Russian flag or not but I suspect you will not be able to simultaneously argue that it was the Soviet flag during WW2 and the Russian flag during communism. If you believe Russia occupied countries such as Ukraine and Belarus and controlled/occupied Poland, Romania etc, then you will have to accept that the Russians did in fact do the most to defeat the Germans.

If you don't believe it was Russia, and rather the USSR, then you will have to accept it was the collective efforts of countries of the USSR (and the occupation by Russia falls into doubt).

You can't have it both ways.

In either case, the Americans played a lesser role in the defeat of the Germans in WW2 and more properly could be credited with defeating the Japanese. This would make sense as the US is more a naval power than a land power.

Interesting. So instead of authorizing the fetching of pieces by way of authentication, they're just saying "you can have another piece if we've been talking since the very first piece". I guess that's a bit of a control, just not secret whatsoever. I feel conditioned to equate the two, but they're distinct concepts I suppose. A CAPTCHA is an access control, and one that doesn't rely on secrets.

Doesn't it more boil down to "if the available bit rate is above ABC then grab the next piece $foo, else if the available bit rate is above DEF then grab the next piece $bar, else if the available bit rate ..." (etc)? Not really sure where you're getting "authentication" from for this?

I'm saying they're controlling access via a control that is not authentication, and not secret, it's simply knowledge of the previous chunk.

I can see arguments on both sides as to whether such a thing is (or isn't) a form of access control. IMHO, it's so weak that it shouldn't even be considered a control. But if the DMCA (and legal precedent) says that there merely needs to be intent and some effect, then perhaps it is a form of control, if some aspect of the scheme was added specifically to thwart casual downloading and it had the effect of people seeking out third-party tools -- a form of access control that falls outside the usual mechanisms such as authentication and/or secrets.

A bit like a building with a lock that is totally pickable by the most amateur picker: it's no secret how to open it, so unauthorized people routinely let themselves in, but legally it's established that the intent of any lock is keeping unauthorized people out, and the presence of the lock does have the effect of keeping most people out, so therefore it's an effective control (to some reasonable extent) and therefore it's illegal to enter without authorization.

I think life is too short to waste any time watching ads, with the absolutely minuscule chance that something relevant will be presented. My time is much more valuable than that, so I have nothing against paying for the content.

> so I have nothing against paying for the content In theory nor do I, as long as paying gets rid of the tracking as well as the adverts which I'm sure it won't, so for now I'll keep blocking the stalking (and adverts while they are intimately linked) and accepting sponsor segments.

It is pretty obvious that if creators get paid based on the time people spend watching their videos, then that has to be tracked.
