Bypassing ads is already technically piracy as the concept of piracy is the idea you are stealing potential revenue.

No, piracy is about distributing unauthorized copies of copyrighted works. Revenue has nothing to do with it.

You can find an open Wi-Fi network

And only if you live in the country where the lawsuit happened

From the headline I expected there to be some minor tells in otherwise similar prompts which the AI picked up to generate different output. But from the example, the prompts are vastly different and the tone of the input is reflected in the tone of the output.

How is this something you’d expect from a dad?

Yes, they did, at least in some cases: https://www.forbes.com/sites/timothylee/2011/09/19/netflix-is-not-facing-the-innovators-dilemma/

Hmm, maybe I was misremembering. On second thought I think it was actually 7digital I was thinking of that did the regional lossless, I forgot about that one. For example, the same album on Swedish and American stores:

HDtracs also sells some stuff losslessly. Though one thing I’ve noticed I’ve noticed on both Qobuz and HDtracs is tha, in addition to only having some stuff losslessly, the availability of lossless varies by region. The same album might be sold lossless in one region and only lossy in another region.

AAC-LC though works just about anywhere, and AFAIK is also patent free by now.

Care to back that up? You wouldn’t need a license to do something that copyright laws already allow you to do on their own. For example, making additional copies for your own personal use is perfectly legal, if allowed depends on your local fair use or private copying exemption law (provided you do it without circumventing DRM, e.g. via the analog hole), even though of course the movie studio wouldn’t give you a license for that.

Of course, DRM is the real issue here, as due to anti-circumvention the movie industry controls who can legally make players for movies on DVD/Blu-Ray (unlike on VHS and CD).

You can’t rent your copy of Shrek out to people

That’s literally how Netflix got started.

Reddit does have RSS feeds

Unless they start adding cellular connectivity for serving ads. Though maybe the calculation doesn’t work out, presumably most people would either connect the TV to the internet voluntarily, or they’re not gonna use the TV:s UI much and thus not see many ads.
