Justice Department warns Oscar group against blocking streaming services like Apple TV+
designr said:Truly a first world issue. The government stepping in over concern about an awards show for the entertainment industry. Wow.
I'm no lawyer by any means, but a lawyer acquaintance of mine who's represented quite a few companies in alleged Sherman violations, claims that the Sherman Anti-Trust act is worded such that the government can object to just about any business practice that it wants to. And define as "business practice" many things that most people would scratch their heads at. -

Fear of Nintendo's wrath is keeping emulators off of the App Store
9secondkox2 said:If Nintendo doesn’t want their old games available, that’s literally their prerogative, as much as it’s annoying for enthusiasts.Yes and no.They absolutely have the right to stop selling their old games, and to stop the pirating of those games by people who haven't bought them.Whether or not they have the right to stop existing owners of those games from employing an emulator to continue playing those games on another device is a different question entirely.As with movies and music, it's completely legal to make a backup of the media for one's own use. Nintendo has worked especially hard to make the making of those backups difficult, for which I condemn them even if they are fully within their legal rights to do so. -

Third-party App Stores will only work for 30 days if you leave the EU
sirdir said:Thank you so much Apple! You blocking me from re-downloading an app I paid for or even updating it when I move out of EU-land es CLEARLY you looking out for me, not you showing your ugly control-freak face. After 25 years of almost 'Apple only' lifestyle, I'm quickly reaching a point where I had enough…
Why on earth would you want to move out of "EU-land"?
