And even if they do give the account holder's information to the requesting law firm, courts have ruled that an IP isn't a person and if you want to bring suit against a person, the rights holder needs to identify an individual responsible. Lawyers know this and don't generally take cases like that, too.

I remember trying to setup a web server in IIS in the 90s and it was one of the reasons why now I am a full time Linux engineer.

Except the code removes the background in complete compliance with the statement "remove image background using python."

It's not "remove image background using photoshop."

tmobile doesn't do free international data anywhere on earth. when I travel I have service before the airplane touches down. also, google fi uses carrier bonding so i will jump to us-cellular when I am up north which is extremely valuable for me as I am in the mountains constantly.

This is why I love Google Fi. I go anywhere on earth, and I have coverage. Unlimited everything. Never worry about nothing, ever, and has carrier bonding for when you're really out there.

Mate, the whole point of Snapchat, the application, is limiting, digitally, the rights of your friends and others to view your photo, with a built in expiration on those rights. If you think the DMCA doesn't apply then you're out of your fucking mind. Copyright is granted to the photographer the second you press the shutter button.

EULA:

Why did you ask if you already had your answer then? The DMCA has no carve outs.

It's illegal to bypass encryption for the purpose of breaking DRM, which is what the app specifically does with Snapchats DRM.

This is blatantly circumventing encryption and a violation of the DMCA but lets see the DoJ do fuck all about it.

Right, Biden? Facebook, Good, Tiktok, bad?
