It's a shame sim cards aren't a thing anymore because how fun would it be to harvest them from some janky shit product like that and then make a bonded backup network with the data plans on the sims until the company figures it out.

I'm so glad I made the switch to projectors. They have yet to be riddled with this horse shit. My current projector does 1080p, 60fps, makes an 85" screen in my room, can be used just fine during the day, works great with my Deck, and with the Kodak branded screen cost me less than 600 bucks.

And even if they do give the account holder's information to the requesting law firm, courts have ruled that an IP isn't a person and if you want to bring suit against a person, the rights holder needs to identify an individual responsible. Lawyers know this and don't generally take cases like that, too.

I remember trying to setup a web server in IIS in the 90s and it was one of the reasons why now I am a full time Linux engineer.

Mate, the whole point of Snapchat, the application, is limiting, digitally, the rights of your friends and others to view your photo, with a built in expiration on those rights. If you think the DMCA doesn't apply then you're out of your fucking mind. Copyright is granted to the photographer the second you press the shutter button.

Why did you ask if you already had your answer then? The DMCA has no carve outs.

It's illegal to bypass encryption for the purpose of breaking DRM, which is what the app specifically does with Snapchats DRM.

This is blatantly circumventing encryption and a violation of the DMCA but lets see the DoJ do fuck all about it.

Right, Biden? Facebook, Good, Tiktok, bad?
