Oh… Trials as in tests, not court. Good.

They just cooperate with whatever law firms there are locally and pay them in % of what they get, which also makes sure they are incentivized to get as much as possible to pay.

Drugs are bad mkay?

You do not have to respond to any invoice you get. And of course that tends to end up in court. What makes you think you could win the case? Just that perhaps they did not actually have the rights in the first place and thus it does not go any further than some letters? How often does that happen? 1 % of all such cases? Do you have the number?

These are copy and paste letters, they take a few minutes per case top. You act as if once such letter costs more than a freaking murder case defense.

What do you think happens when you get such a letter and argue like that? They just drop the ball?

I am with the “fake news” here, but that argument is surprisingly solid given what we have seen so far.

Why the unnecessary sexism?

I think you massively underestimate how much money you can make with cease and desist cases. And how little it costs to send letters in bulk to people it could apply to.

Hmmm expanding on the leaf blower topic: Several people all swinging large objects like in the video (but 10x more) should really be able to move a lot of air. In low wind conditions I see that pushing all the stuff away from them. People just need to work together.

Why should they not be able to do that…? Even if there are 100’000?

I agree. It does not matter if it was used in a good way this one time. Next time might be against abortion.

This is Lemmy, not lemme.

Imagine thinking the same about all the good moments instead of only focusing on the bad stuff.

Just got to love how people downvote this when clearly both groups would not get it wrong.

They give zero fucks, there is no crisis for them unless we make it one.

How did you find out? Did you talk about it?

Random people can not judge complex/large/… cases, they are simply too incompetent. You need professionals that do not care about what message some attorney spins, who are unfazed by the chewbakka defense. Now selecting those professionals is something random people might be able to do if there is no mixing with politics.

I did not specify the % so I am save :3

Correct, but I did not specify the % so I am save :3

If previously there we 1’000 uninstalls per day, not there are 1’500. Relative numbers like that are useless.
