Thank you for the insight. Best of luck to you and the future of the project!

Might be time to reconsider. Canon are (supposedly) not planning any further flagship DSLRs and I see little wrong with modifying your own property.

Independent of that: how dangerous is ML dev to the cameras themselves (in terms of brick potential)? Permanently bricking a camera in the price range of the 1DX is not exactly my idea of a good time. :-)

I doubt that will happen for a tool with an arbitrary usecase of assisting in research however some projects related to reverse-engineering have been censored under the DMCA takedown regime.

A reassuring outcome. However what are the realistic implications of this ruling for potential future cases?

Similarly, How is challenging DMCA 1201 going?

> Companies squeezing every last penny out out their customers is no news. And Canon is no stranger.

In relation to the rent-seeking behavior of Canon they allegedly nudged a certain open-source camera firmware project not to support some of their most high-end cameras. But with Canon losing interest in DSLRs I hope the situation changes.

Considering iOS devices are locked down to hell and back and achieving reboot persistence is extremely difficult, how hard is it to extract a sample of a malware payload in memory for purpose of forensics?

emulators for many nintendo consoles have been developed and released while the console was still sold and have been left alone as long as they had no direct links to piracy, recent events are a bit of a change.

> There is some speculation Nintendo was involved with the death of the Nintendo 64 emulator UltraHLE a long time back, but this was never confirmed.

iirc it got c&d but a case was never filed in court, the source code turned up eventually anyways.

It is removed now.

steamcommunity.com is also registered with Network Solutions. I wonder if that blew up in Valve's face.

Anyone aware if there is are any provisions under Finnish law for the detention of the defendant to be extended past half the sentence duration? For instance in a case of bad behavior while inside has been cited as justification in other regions.

> The notorious Utopia boot disc got around the obfuscation problem with a pirated Katana SDK and used the same reset technique, letting pirated software load by simply booting Utopia and switching discs when instructed. The Utopia crew flamed out quickly as they were stupid enough to put their photographs on the disc, leading to a knock on the door from German police

Someone know more to this story? (i.e what was exactly on the disc, and what were the legal basis of said police action)

This is all very interesting. Makes one wonder about the reliability of contingency plans by WL in case of indefinite absence of Assange.

Howdy stranger!

With the debatable demise of organic community platforms and the rise of curated social-media recommendation by algorithms it is always nice to facilitate interaction between two vaguely-human entities. :-)

Take care!

Think some of the negativity about Copilot may be the perception that if an individual or small startup attempted training an ML model from public source-code and commercialised a service from it they would be drowning in legal issues from big companies not happy with their code used in such a product.

In addition just because code is available publicly on GitHub does not necessarily mean it is permissively licensed to use elsewhere, even with attribution. Copyright holders not happy with their copyrighted works publicly accessible can use the DMCA to issue take-downs that GitHub does comply with but how that interacts with Copilot and any of its training data is a different question.

As much as the DMCA is bad law rather funny seeing Microsoft be charged in this lawsuit with the less known provision against 'removal of copyright management information'. Microsoft does have more resources to mount at defence so it will probably end up different compared to a smaller player facing this action.
