"We know Diamond explains it is making a player, but we understand it to be a recorder. I think it's well established, under international copyright law, that the reproduction that occurs inside the Rio constitutes a recording."

The web has become such a dumpster fire that I am trying to stay within the confines of archive.org and the gemini protocol for my own sanity. This is while praying that the IA doesn't fuck up their clunky imperfect but predictable design with a js monstrosity with 72pt fonts that searches every-time you press a key. The Gemini protocol is cool but you can only read so many gemlogs about burn out and depression the odd time there is something interesting like this gemini://gemini.ctrl-c.club/~stack/gemlog/2022-02-07.sabin.gmi
