And they handle it so poorly that you have to write them to get a proper invoice in order to recover your VAT.
If your customer buy your application through the app store, they ask "you" an invoice with VAT, and you have to tell them to contact Apple, that's so unprofessional.
For a 30% cut, they could clearly put a download link or include a PDF in the sent email.
So this guy was jailed because he coded an advertising platform and a video hosting service.
I know Mega was on a thin shady line, but what has he done wrong to be jailed in USA ?
The UK has a law called "Joint Criminal Enterprise" which is oft critiqued[0]. In America, this same concept is a de-facto legal and social standard to apply "Guilty by Association" wherever it can.
So, in the USA, it can be (incorrectly) argued - by very, very high powered RIAA legal team - that this was aiding and abetting.[1] It's absolutely wrong, but this is the legal world we live in as developers.
All right, in fact, I think the law you explained is even fair and needed to prosecute some "Joint Criminal Enterprise".
But in this specific case, how could it be "incorrectly" argued, "absolutely wrong" and not dismissed by a judge.
I mean, how can you trust the justice if only the poor chap is the one going to jail.
Yeah, I'm naive, I know.
For me, it's all about the details, and I just can't come back to Firefox for silly reasons, even if I appreciate their stance on privacy.
The tabs shape is repulsing me, I know that's a strong feeling and I can't explain it.
The disymetrical back and forward buttons bothers me as well.
I can't find how to whitelist domains accepting cookies in Firefox.
Switching profiles is much easier with chrome.
I'm used to chrome developper tools.
I don't like neither safari neither MS edge.
If it wasn't for the missing onenote extension, maybe I'd be using opera. Again, all about the details.
Great.
You just inspired another european privacy law where website will be forced to ask you to read the terms before processing reading.
What it will achieve is users will be annoyed and install a termblock extension to their browser, I mean kind of defensive software.
> hm, someone should make a simple web app that gathers names and styles of fonts and provides a zip w/ pre-generated CSS
I used http://www.localfont.com to retrieve the Open Sans font I was previously using from google font. Maybe that's the kind of webapp you are looking for.
