absentbird , to worldnews in US House passes bill that expands definition of anti-Semitism to comparing Israel with Nazis
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

The majority of Americans opposed Nazis, even before entering the war. We supported the allies with aid, and were instrumental in making the Nazi’s defeat a reality.

Nazi rhetoric already fits the definition of antisemitism though.

Calling for a divestment of Israel isn’t being made illegal or even defined as antisemitism by this bill, so both examples don’t really make sense.

That’s a great explanation, thank you!

I did, best as I can tell it’s permitted. Resale of retail Windows licenses is legal. I can’t find anything saying it’s not.

Where is that written?

Copyright infringement? The only thing being purchased is the product key, from an online reseller. The software is downloaded from the Microsoft website. It’s not an infringement of copyright to purchase a software key from a company other than Microsoft, it’s not even a violation of their terms of service as best as I can tell.

absentbird , to technology in Net neutrality is about to make a comeback
@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

Don’t call it a comeback, it’s been here for years
Connecting all peers, putting Comcast in fear
Makin the tiers blow off like a typhoon
Now watch how the bandwidth blooms
Transmissions, not expiring
All the competition, it’s inspiring
Mom & pops, online shops
The benefit of equal access rocks

It’s not illegal to violate terms of service, at worst it’s breach of contract. What policy does it even violate? As best as I can tell Windows licenses are transferrable by first owner provided they aren’t installed on another machine.

What’s illegal about a $7 windows license?

Adobe’s Creative Cloud for enterprise, Individual, or Single App Terms of Use permit deployment in a VM. Even if they didn’t, it’s not illegal to violate software terms of use, though it could open you up to a breach of contract.

Like it or not, it’s an important medium. We couldn’t have Deus Ex without Ghost in the Shell.

@absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

The $400m was for tax fraud and deceiving banks.

Yeah, I mean maybe I’m biased. 10 is the one that got me to go 100% Linux and never look back. Windows 7 could be irritating, but it was manageable, it could be controlled.

What law does it break?

That’s a pretty low bar, to be fair.
