Copyright laws are agreed on at a international level. There even is a international copyright court.
There is a difference between good practice and fear mongering. You aren’t going to lose it all because you didn’t turn on the Firewall.
Everything would still be behind a firewall though
There is currently no fix available
The Firewall will not help you in this case
It is still 9.9
This could be a serious problem for public places such as libraries
You guys?
I don’t think that applies to SSDs

Third option is that Iran might jail them if they aren’t sad

In my experience the over engineered solutions are often the least secure.
It is especially damming that they said they can’t turn off the security solution. If they won’t be flexible enough to add an exception then I’m pretty sure they definitely don’t what ghost IT. This could end up costing this company a lot of money down the road
Your IT department sounds awful. I have never heard of “withsecure” but it sounds like a pain in the ass.
Anyway its better not to do ghost IT as that never ends well. Next time you should get the explicit approval of the IT department and document everything.
I wonder if they could get backing from AI companies. Think about it, they do similar things so maybe it would be worth Microsoft sending a few million to help
Did you real the summary of the lawsuit? They were giving away unlicensed books. That is what started this thing to begin with. If they would of just not started offering free downloads of copyrighted works this would probably not be happening.
They really should of just admitted to there mistake during covid and settled. For once the lawsuits by the publishers wasn’t totally unjustified and extreme. Now I stead of that they are risking everything over there own views on copyright.
I can’t help but feel they have brought this on themselves. They had the support of the US copyright office and everything but now that’s in jeopardy
To be fair I’m sure the lawyers would looking for something they could strike at. The Internet Archive had good intentions but they gave the lawyers what they needed for a effective law suite. Honestly the fact that copyright can last 100 years is insane. It needs to a lot shorter as I don’t think it is realistic to expect a work from the 70s to be restricted in 2024.

It is fights between arbitrary stance with no factual evidence and arbitrary stance with no factual evidence.
Actually it sounds a lot like a holly war
