No not really. I was wondering how the process works since it takes 72hours from requesting an unlock at the provider until the unlock itself. I read online that the request gets pushed to the unlock servers in intervals and wondered why.
All my unlocks have been pretty much instant. I think its that provider pushing unlock to Apple at intervals. AT&T does they 3 day thing but that again is AT&T time to send it to Apple.
Im the person who drew the etchmarkings you see on every vhs cassette today. Also I was responsible for placing the vhs trademark logo on it. No just kidding. Im not of course. But in my opinion these claims are a little absurd. Taking a photo of an everyday household item is, in my opinion, not some original work of art they intentionally stole. Some graphic intern used them off the web instead of shutterstock. Big deal. These posts make it soind like netflix had a secret executive meeting where they decided to rip off a poor photographer which, i think, did not happen. Some graphic intern will get sacked most probably.
A billion dollar company that constantly bugs their non-US customers across the globe on copyright infringement issues, committed copyright infringement because did not have as much as a process in place to get original or paid-for art for an original production they're spending millions of dollars for.
As you said, big fucking deal, uh-huh?
Either get rid of copyright law, or hold billion dollar companies to the same standard as customers. I'll take one or the other.
Taking a photo of an everyday household item is, in the eyes of the copyright law, an original work of art. It does not matter if they have used it without a license intentionally or not, they just did. What’s dumb is that this is not a poor non-profit we are talking about, this is a big company that makes money depending on the copyright law. If these cases are taken lightly, next time they will do it again – why bother when the chance of getting caught is pretty small and in the worst case you can always sacrifice some pawn?
Im in china at the moment using expressvpn (been using it for a year by now) and since about two weeks only three server locations work well (Hong Kong, Tokyo, Los Angeles). Some others work off an on. Before that most locations worked and some of them, Taiwan for example, used to be very fast. Its still usable for streaming and surfing but I'm afraid the end is near. I think sometime in the future one will have to go with shadow socks and or similar protocols/solutions but until then expressvpn is quite convenient (mobile client, router with expressvpn client).
