Wikileaks is using him as a meat puppet and now he is totally fucked, whatever shred of credibility he had is lost by praising Russia for their dedication to human rights. I suppose you can defend their record but you will be fighting uphill.

Shortlist? That would be a very, very long list. So long in fact as to be totally useless. There is a cure for Internet paranoia. Fresh air and sunshine.

>Sure but then Netflix and Universal stealing translated subtitles from these "pirates" and including it on their commercial content is also piracy.

Umm, no. It may be unethical but the "pirates" have no copyright protections for a movie dialogue unless they wrote the movie.

Should have figured that was the case, but even not logged in Google's search results are so much better that they have a practical, if not legal, monopoly on search. Trying to have any privacy these days is like trying to stop the tide with a sand castle.

Transcribing audio does not transfer ownership. People get amazingly confused about copyright. You can argue that all info wants to be free, which is very bad for privacy, but you cannot argue if you transcribe Star Wars now you own the dialogue.

Couldn't they just cache some ads as well instead of limiting features. They could also log GPS and send it back later so they don't lose location data.
