Tearing down monopolies is an inherent good independent of the fact that the entire industry should be torn down with them. Be happy the court is willing to exercise their power to break monopolies at all. Doing so here normalizes doing it elsewhere
Slazers’ point that is is pocket change to apple however is an excellent point. If it forces compliance then it’s still a win. We’ll see what happens
Your plan is sound. Just make sure whatever you use as a brace underneath doesn’t naturally warp in the same direction
Damn that’s dark.
Have the police attempted to justify their actions?
Fear of the “next guy” is the only reason la’orang is still alive. All of this is the fault of people gearing “what’s next”. The number of evil people on earth is finite. Even if the next one is worse, there’s only one way forward. So just take the win. The number of evil is about to drop by one
Yup. Released in 97’ in the US. Not sure why you felt this needed to be added, but yes. You have stated several true facts.
There are Genz who are older than the DVD. I’m certain that the majority of them would know what a VCR is. Unless they were very rich, they still watched movies on tape when they were little. That’s before we talk about how the VCR//DVD combo unit was the most popular option well into the DVD life cycle because most people didn’t want to re-buy what they already had on tape. VCR didn’t really die until Blu-ray kicked it off the combo unit with the DVD which wasn’t until like 2007. Some of them were in middle school by then
Maybe. Unfortunately US law doesn’t have a concept of “freedom to not worship”, so it’s tricky for atheists to push back against religious overreach because it’s hard to prove the exclusive religious favoritism for Christians in this country as an atheist since atheists are by definition impossible to prevent from worshiping.
It’s a lot easier to just say hail Satan and then crush the snowflakes in court since now you are religious, just for a bullshit religion which they can’t legally call bullshit on. Because that’s the other thing. There is absolutely no legal test of faith. The court must take satanists specifically at their word and push no further. Christianity is a major established religion in the US which means Satan is widely recognized, so it isn’t a random cult they can spin shutting down, and it is a religion so they can’t pretend the satanist isn’t covered by the first amendment protection.
Basically US law is stupid and that makes claiming to be a satanist extremely legally expedient
