I read a couple of answers here, but I thought I’d give my 2 cents anyway. I mostly agree with the others that said it’s not a big deal and seems to be a principle of hers.

I saw that you’re not from the US. In Germany, there’s an unwritten rule that you never bring any kind of food or beverage to a restaurant. We have other fun stuff like most restaurants not giving out free water or charging you for using the toilet if you haven’t bought anything.

I could see her being upset with you if you drank your own water and ate your own food in the restaurant. But, again, that’s only from my German point of view.

I think, you have a higher character limit?

I just looked into it briefly and you’re right, there seems to have been some development:

Translation: Criminal liability of the downloader

However, users who download this data also infringe copyrights if it is obvious to a reasonable and fair-minded person that the public presentation (the offer on the servers of the one-click hoster) is made without the permission of the actual rights holder. This is certainly the case if, for example, a film is offered before its theatrical release. However, the obviousness should also be given after the theatrical release, since no one can expect a film production company to make its films available free of charge on servers of one-click hosts.

It also states that downloaders are currently not being pursued, because it is too difficult to prove.

Very much depends on the country, though. In Germany for example, it is illegal to actively share media (so upload via torrent), but it’s “legal” (ie, not fineable) to stream or download via one-click-hosters.

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Huh? Can you elaborate? I have an LG TV with webOS (useless), so I’m about to buy an Android box.

I briefly looked into this, but then reddit shit the bed :-)

Can you be a little more specific? I’m in Europe. Who do I have to pay to get access to a sweet server? I’m only watching English content.

Thanks!

A friend of mine bought a new Model 3 at launch here in Germany. He had to drive a couple of hundred kilometers to pick it up in a city with a port. When he arrived, he was escorted to a warehouse with 100s of Teslas in it. His was actually outside in the parking lot. He was told that he could inspect the car for one hour to find potential faults like panel gaps, scratches in the paint or runny paint (it had been raining the night before and the car was still wet lol).

He found two fault which were going to be sorted out for him no charge. He told me this while we were sitting in the vehicle and I said “oh, so stuff like this scratch in the dashboard here?” and he looked at it and said “… I haven’t even noticed that one -_-”

All in all a very strange way to sell a car and pretty unheard of, especially here in Germany and with a brand new car.
