  • There is no system of precedence for rulings of lower courts in Germany, technically not even for higher courts (albeit there de facto is). That’s something you could find in the U.S. though.

    The lower court fucked up and it got overruled. The only thing Sony could have done would have been to bring similar cases to the same lower level court again and again and hope they make the same wrong decision over and over. That’s about the closest thing to precedence they could have relied on. It probably would have worked for Sony though.








  • Throwing everyone in one bucket is a terrible idea.

    I also hate the apartheid shit going in and around Israel as well es the war crimes commited by their government and military. At the same time I hate antisemitism equally as much.

    The people who marched on this “protest” are just awful, hateful and terribly dumb people who deserve no support and all the criticism. But not everyone protesting because of the current situation with Israel is therefore automatically doing it for awful reasons.

    You are correct. It would explain the issue and I too know for a fact that this is a problem of the internet these days.

    It sounds counterintuitive, but website and shop sites also run on what are basically oligopolies or monopolies on the software side. Rarely someone builds a site from the ground up for all the reasons. At the same time it is a huge problem the software most sites run on is in the hands of relatively few (and one the rest of the internet has as well). Most people are just not aware of this.

    No idea who or why anyone would downvote you.

    Some companies like amazon intentionally do this for the exact reason to scare people and hope they forget to cancel.

    Subscriptions as a system are fine, why and how you implement them tells you a lot about the company you are dealing with.

    BUT: As mentioned in other posts, it might just be a technical issue due to bad software design/choice OR it might be a setting you can pick as the owner of the patreon, because for some types of patreons it would make a difference if it ends immediately or at the end of the period OR bad wording. Not pitchfork time quite yet.

    Please keep us updated, OP.
