Does he really think $500M would significantly change a city? As if the city would get any part of it, or that Dubai is something to desire...

But then I'm going to get even more blood on me?

If the prompt is as long and unique as other copyrightable writing (which includes short works like poems) then why shouldn't it be copyrightable?

Okay, so the prompt can be that. But we're talking about the output, no? My hello-world source code is copyrighted, but the output "hello world" on your machine isn't really, no?

We'd see some real trickle-down in that case.

Nah, but they're both forms of intellectual property.

In this case, it seems like they decided Zynga was infringing on patent US7072849B1. They managed to convince the court that Zynga's advertising methods were too similar to what was described in that patent. Which is bullshit, as software patents shouldn't exist, but oh well.

Well, yeah, because they initiated the code to verify it was you who called them. Better than them asking your "security questions" or such. It's a completely different situation if you got an incoming call who asks for that.

Not sure where they're from, and the laws are tricky (plus there's lots of loopholes - if the TV station is technically broadcast from another country, it doesn't need to follow our laws?), but it seems to be similar in Sweden. And yeah, it's usually found in normal stores as well as the alcohol monopoly... but I've never seen anyone buy it, nor is it even significantly cheaper.

For example: 33cl Mariestads Alkoholfri: 12.90 kr. 33cl Mariestads 5,3%: 15.70 kr.

Maybe some people drink beer for the taste, especially hipster beers, but I think otherwise the commercials don't help. I've also noticed they're especially common a small bit before the alcohol monopoly closes -- of course it's their intention that someone sees the "non-alcoholic" commercial at 6PM and will run to the monopoly before 7PM when it closes.

The booths will be equipped with lock sensors which detect smoke. When smoke in such booths disappears, the doors will be automatically unlocked and defiant smokers can then leave the booths, he wrote.

Why not? If it's too hard to leave the hospital to smoke, then what's the problem with having a smokeroom?

There's nothing illegal about downloading streams, but if the purpose of your downloads is to get fraudulent royalties, then of course it's illegal as wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343.

but totally fine when so many other media companies do it?

Do other media companies create fake streams?

Fraud is the crime of obtaining money or property by deceiving people. He deceived streaming platforms, as he botted his songs in order to earn royalties.

The whole "AI" thing is irrelevant; it'd be the same situation if he manually produced all his music.

And the old "I cheated on you because I was drunk". It's not so heartwarming that people here are belittling rape with what would be considered negligent sexual assault at the worst.

But that's all part of the same argument. If it was -f or -ff that'd make sense. Duplicate parameters are usually ignored in like all other programs I can think of.
