MAFIAA: Supreme State Gets Sovereign Copyright Immunity, Fileshares Still Go to Jail
by grarpamp 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

https://petapixel.com/2020/03/23/the-supreme-court-just-decided-that-states… The Supreme Court of the United States dealt a major blow to photographers' copyright protections when it declared that states cannot be sued for copyright infringement because they have "sovereign immunity." The case began in 2013, when videographer Frederick Allen sued North Carolina for using his videos of the salvage of Queen Anne's Revenge, a shipwreck discovered off the North Carolina coast in 1998, without permission. The state claimed "sovereign immunity," and though they initially lost this argument in the Eastern District of North Carolina... In essence, the Supreme Court agreed with the Fourth Circuit, ultimately striking down the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act (CRCA) of 1990. This 30-year-old amendment to the Copyright Act of 1976 tried to strip states of their sovereign immunity where copyright was concerned, and it was at the core of Allen's lawsuit. If states can't claim sovereign immunity to get out of copyright infringement, then North Carolina had no defense. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court agreed with the Fourth Circuit, stating that Congress lacked the authority to take away State's immunity in the CRCA, passing the buck back to Congress and giving states carte blanche to infringe with impunity.

military lock down in 2 weeks, possibly/probably -- [gilmay97@gmail.com: From a reliable friend]
by Zenaan Harkness 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

Possibility of a military lock down ("Level 5" or whatever they call it) in about 2 weeks. (I.e. scratch this morning's prediction of 6 or so weeks or more! You might have 2 weeks to prepare for the following few weeks.) Any cash balances in your bank accounts may disappear, or if your're super lucky may in some way be converted to the new semi-global currency on the way. So probably better to spend any cash lying around. Rum may well hold its value better than fiat currency cash, over the coming month or so. - New Zealand parliament today announced they too are going home, this for 6 weeks (vs Australia at officially "6 months" for our federal parliament).

Could this be the future of Western warfare?

Could this be the future of Western warfare? Pressing limited and logical aims with unlimited force? Keeping in mind of course that World War One was a result of half of Europe thinking it was appropriate for Serbia to be suborned to Austria-Hungary.

Recommend hackable tablet?
by Douglas Lucas 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

Hey cypherpunks, I have never really used a tablet before. When I say "tablet" I, like many, picture in my head an iPad. I would like to order a tablet or two online. My six criteria are: 1) Hackable. So that I could put some generic Linux thing on it, the way an everyday smart user, who is not employed by the Free Software Foundation, puts Ubuntu on their laptop or Cyanogenmod/LineageOS on their smartphone. Without spending my life trying to get it to work, but some struggle is okay, around the struggle required to get Cyanogenmod/LineageOS working on a typical USian smartphone, etc 2) Durable/rugged. 3) Fairly convenient. Maybe a few more ports than usual, a few more options than usual, maybe some extra power sources or something like that. 4) Certified refurb would be nice 5) Price range around idk $250-$300 or something per tablet. Amazon.com says "New Apple iPad (10.2-Inch, Wi-Fi, 32GB) - Space Gray (Latest Model)" costs around $280: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPad-10-2-Inch-Wi-Fi-32GB/dp/B07XL7G4H6/ But of course surge pricing and out-of-stock is happening everywhere because it's corona time. So maybe something in stock would be great, older or whatever 6) External keyboard accessory would be nice and perhaps mandatory, link to this also p|0x? Planned use: 1) Hook it up to SDR to scan the local security forces -- cops, fire, etc -- leave it set up in home that way doing that 2) Backup / travel / bug out bag If more than one, perhaps identical/similar in different colors for ease of telling them apart quickly or sharing them with other human beings If anyone can offer some recommendations, I will say something mean about a so-called Great Man aspirant soon on my twitter feed Thanks <3 Doug
