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.
The spin-spin relaxation! I’m not a radiologist, but it’s my understanding that T2 weighted images are the best way to see lesions. And it’s believed that ketamine abuse gives brain lesions. I’d bet a couple bucks that his brain looks like Swiss cheese. (I’m not sure if I missed some reference or if the question was serious btw)
I have no doubts that he frequently does that, as well as other controlled substances. But it’s okay for him to abuse drugs; he’s rich and powerful after all! Though it would be interesting to see his head under an MRI with T2 and see how many Olney’s lesions he has.
That guy: wow, these people are such suckers… keeping me employed for over 18 years despite not building better infra?
How much chaos is it gonna be for your company if he’s hit by a bus?
That’s Edge’s job. Though I guess they’re basically the same thing…
That guy isn’t an experienced weirdo-sysadmin if he doesn’t have ^L in his muscle memory.
Unfortunate typo there…
most secure
Yeah because it’s really secure anyone can take out your cash via ACH or whatever by your account numbers on that piece of paper.
your account is still protected by the bank for any fraud
Your bank is required to investigate and such, yeah? And you will most likely get your money back - after a while - if their investigation determines it was fraudulent. But a long process that’d be avoided by having a safer electronic transfer system. And what will you do if the bank thinks it’s some friendly fraud?
Not worth it. I don’t even like direct debit. No one should initiate taking money from my account other than myself.
Menthols maybe? And that it’s harder for people of a lower socioeconomic status to quit smoking? Otherwise, no idea.
I would have thought OP wanted an achievement in The Stanley Parable (5 years without playing), but they’d need to redo their math in that case…
But the partition is Microsoft’s own, basically no one has ever touched it themselves. So why can’t they do some housecleaning to make enough space? At the very least, they could fix the error messages to be more descriptive on how to fix it.
The tin-foil in me says it’s just a tactic to get people to switch to Windows 11. “Oh, I have errors with my updates? I should really try upgrading and see if that fixes it, I don’t want any hackers to steal my megabytes…”
Why should wire fraud give such a harsh punishment?
Perpetual growth/engagement statistics?
All those services block IPVanish and Proton. They want my data not my money.
How do you come to that conclusion from their blocking of commercial VPNs? Sure, of course they want your telemetry as well, but it’s mainly due to the copyright owners/distribution agreements.
In many places its illegal to not accept cash.
Where? I can’t think of many places where that’d be true.
Buying pirated DVDs is one example I assume?
Tesla was all like “hold my beer” to the BMW club.
How’s the retransmission if a packet gets lost though?
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.
