Call me when it’s actually released. “We’ll release the music in the future” is worth exactly as much content as “we’ll release a Batgirl movie”.

Yeah but the interaction that is done in Australia is not part of the business chain. The catalogue was not mailed by my store. Someone else (an ISP, in this exercise) took it from an available stand in Italy and imported it (on their own) to Australia. (The closest I can think of to the material representation of “mailed catalogue” in this exercise is if I intentionally uploaded a copy of my .it website to an .au hosting)

For another analogy: if I were to post an Italian job offer in Italy, not only I am not subject to Malaysian (or Australian) labour law, but a third party in Malaysia reproducing the job offer there does not change that fact either. It’s their copy, and act-of-copy, of the job offer that is subject to Malaysian law, at best. And this should hold true regardless of the nature of the message: mere emission of the message can not be constituted as consecration of a legal responsibility towards any potential listener. If that was the case, it would be impossible to make any political, religious or scientific speech lawfully, as surely a law is being broken sometime, somewhere and a message can by its nature outlast the act of emission.

Nice try, fed.

We could adjust by making Long Chile carve through the inner forests or mountains then jumping into the Caribbean. Unsure how much fancy would it be for Colombia to turn into a split territory tho.

Friggin’ Theseus’s Chat Control.

Does the EU not have any sort of rule or directive against trying to vote the same thing 12345 times? Heck, IIRC even the US has that one.

Give away California

Sorry Petro but California is for the Long Chile expansion project. Ask for Nevada or smth.

They are getting both Proton and Cloudflare sponsoring IIRC. Plus the dev has a history.

A better analogy would be ‘Australian buys Italian goods from online store in Australia’.

The entire point of the analogy is that we are eschewing “online” stuff so that we can see how “bUt On tHE iNTeRnEt” applies, so “but make it an online store” is literally missing the point.

Better analogy in that sense would be still “Australian sends an agent to buy something from a physical store in Italy after finding a printed catalog that a third party imported into Australia from Italy”.

Funded by fascists, last I heard.

Google’s.

Not me eyeing my largely unused fedia account 👀

To be fair, on the modern internet, if it’s paid, you’re also the product.

That’s one of the reasons I don’t trust subscription services on principle without root access to their servers, you can not guarantee you’re actually getting what you are paying them for once you are paying them for.

Pussy Throat! These Russian agents are really going the Deep Throat route…

Sokath, his sausage uncovered!

Well, they’d be supporting their local businesses for that I’d hope!

if you make your service available in Australia you must comply with Australian laws,

How does this even work? This is among the stupidest arguments I’ve ever heard on the internet, at about the same level of flat-earthism.

Are you saying if I am in Italy, selling Italian good on an Italian shop set in an Italian street, and an Australian tourist sends an agent to walk the Italian street and buy a thing for them from my Italian stand, I am somehow beholden to Australian law? This but “oN tHE iNtErNeT”?

pretty ridiculous

In the good way, yes. Who was it the admin of a Lemmy instance, I think, who said he would receive alcohol as a form of ID verification because to even acquire it legally in the first place you have to be of age, anyway? That’s pretty much golden and incentivizes the local economy!

I would, however. I don’t know if electricity with the correct voltage and amperage just grows in trees up there in the US, but in the rest of the world, we have to pay up for electricity, and having to consume more of it also means a larger damage to our local environment, already preyed upon by northern-hemisphere corporations.

Not to mention, it effectively raises our power bill for no new gain as well, which comes with a very bad timing due to recent scandals (up to Constitutional Accusation Summons) in how the costs of energy transportation are being billed to users in my country. Besides all the local increases of cost, it mechanically functions not very different from rent-seeking.

Amazing. is Perl like, the countable infinity of unreadable languages or smth?
