Who can use WIPO ALERT?

Advertisers, advertising agencies and their technical service providers can apply to become authorized users of WIPO ALERT in order to access aggregated lists of infringing websites from around the world.

They can use this information in their automated advertising systems to avoid placing advertisements on such sites. In this way, they can avoid subsidizing copyright infringement and protect their brands from the negative reputational effect of association with illegal activities.

The WIPO database is to protect advertising brands? Lol. Not what I was expecting, and pretty absurd to me.

So, can we see the list?

Authorized Users enter into a simple agreement with WIPO which provides that the User will use the data obtained through WIPO ALERT exclusively for preventing the misplacement of advertising on copyright-infringing websites and that it will use its best endeavors to keep the data confidential. The reason for the second restriction is that some countries feel that their lists of copyright-infringing websites should not be publicized, to avoid encouraging visits to those sites.

Confidential.

So, if it's some countries' agencies or orgs reporting or something, how accurate is the list?

Does WIPO guarantee the accuracy of the data on WIPO ALERT?

No. WIPO is simply providing a service to its Member States and to the international advertising industry in facilitating global access to data compiled at national level. The national agencies which create the lists of sites remain solely responsible for their contents.

Who is it?

World Intellectual Property Organization 34, chemin des Colombettes CH-1211 Geneva 20, Switzerland

is one of the 15 specialized agencies of the United Nations (UN).

WIPO was created to promote and protect intellectual property (IP) across the world by cooperating with countries as well as international organizations

I wonder if you could get the list as press or data protection offices or under some transparency laws.

Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology.

windows terminal is inferior

Note that there is an application called Windows Terminal and that's a terminal, not a shell. You can run any shell in it (including alternative or WSL shells).

I primarily use native Nushell via Windows Terminal.

You're not stuck with PowerShell or batch on Windows.

It's kind of crazy that video content is exempt from the EU single market. What was the reasoning for that? The link to the previous article doesn't even mention it - was written seemingly before it came into action or was defined.

What it does mention is why it's so critical.

Due to complicated licensing agreements Netflix is only available in a few dozen countries, all of which have a different content library.

And also

This means that consumers will have the right to access content they purchased at home in other European countries.

If you have a single market, and free travel (Schengen), being able to access and buy content in them is substantial, or would otherwise subvert them.

If it's only regional, I can at least see some reasoning; the purchasing power varies quite a bit between countries. But still, there's the question of how that relates to and opposes the idea and conditions of a single market. And it certainly doesn't warrant geo-blocking like what you have access to or can buy. Regional pricing could be implemented by a law-defined or -restricted simple factor based on purchasing power.

Steam does different regional prices even within Europe too, right?

What's the difference between your friends and family telling you important things and commenters here doing so?

While the interpretation and assessment may be different, they're fundamentally the same.

I really don't get the distinction between objective reality and subjective politics. They were mentioning the objective reality of politics influence, not the subjective practice of politics.

What do you think it makes you vulnerable to?

You're talking about security, but really, none of the privacy questions are about technical security of the product.

"What if you miss a setting?" Then they'll give you article recommendations or send your search query to the search engine you're targeting in the first place. They're really a long way from what you can call a security issue, or sharing personal data with random third parties or data brokers.

if they want to be FOSS or capitalist

I really don't see any basis for this take. It's not about picking one of two extremes, and the most extreme niches in those.

They create FOSS, and look for privacy respecting partnerships and investment so they can keep it going.

They added ToS because they're integrating services, like their synced/backed up browser data and other respectful integration.

That's all a long way from malice, or significant problematic behavior. And you still have more choice than on the other biggest alternatives.

I don't think it is the best we could have, I would like it a bit different too, but the way you make it out to be is way overblown if not wrong.

No prebuilt binary releases?

That's a good goal, but leaves open how it can be implemented.

Is every landlord the same? Are they all big companies out for profit? Or what?

How does/can dialogue, education, and respect include intolerance? Isn't intolerance inherently disrespectful, uneducated, and non-dialogue?
