Spot the difference:

No IPTV is not a crime

No, IPTV is not a crime

Post title should add a comma.

I don't think that qualifies as "protection" of copyrighted content before law?

Some YouTube videos are protected like that, others not. The lawsuit is about those being circumvented. It is NOT about SSL or circumventing SSL.

An equivalent would be a copyright protection on images. Not SSL.

Forgive me if I am lacking the correct term for it.

Hamburg court. Notorious court for such digital rights cases.

The lawsuit is not about downloading, but about enabling circumventing protections.

By your analogy, it's not about the shops selling kitchen knives, but hosting a side door to a protected weapons/knifes shop.

(I hate analogies. In general. But wtf is that analogy now that we included more context?)

lower and higher court are different people

What logic do you mean?

Images are typically not encrypted with protection measures [in transit].

[–] Kissaki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

they can and will take it away

The example you give is more "have to take down because of legal requirements" than "can and will".

If you downloaded it you still have it though. Which is the big difference.

Whoa, I'm getting dizzy while scrolling. That background…

Depending on what you want to scape, that's a lot of overkill and overcomplication. Full website testing frameworks may not be necessary to scrape. Python with it's tooling and package management may not be necessary.

I've recently extracted and downloaded stuff via Nushell.

  1. Requirement: Knowledge of CSS Selectors
  2. Inspect Website DOM in Webbrowser web developer tools
    1. Identify structure
    2. Identify adequate selectors; testable via browser dev tools console document.querySelectorAll()
  3. Get and query data

For me, my command line terminal and scripting language of choice is Nushell:

let $html = http get 'https://example.org/'
let $meta = $html | query web --query '#infobox .title, #infobox .tags' |  | { title: $in.0.0 tags: $in.1.0 }
let $content = $html | query web --query 'main img' --attribute data-src
$meta | save meta.json

or

1..30 | each {|x| http get $'https://example.org/img/($x).jpg' | save $'($x).jpg'; sleep 100ms }

Depending on the tools you use, it'll be quite similar or very different.

Selenium is an entire web-browser driver meaning it does a lot more and has a more extensive interface because of it; and you can talk to it through different interfaces and languages.

You don't even need a VPN to use a different DNS server.

Injecting a malicious undisclosed firmware/software update. Very private and secure. /s

That's bullshit. There's no reason to limit or target a specific or non-maximum CPU core usage.

That would only make sense to evade hardware faults or cooling issues. Never as a general guideline.
