At the bottom, I see Visa and Mastercard. Not big enough yet, did not get contacted yet, or did not implement it yet?

They mention deindexing from browse and search. I understand this to mean you can still visit and buy the products, and list the publisher's titles on their publisher's page.

That's far from "banning". And doesn't prevent the supporting creators and browsing their catalog - the use-case OP described.

This doesn't make sense.

They say "endpoint in the UK" and "VPN Server in the UK", and that they could not confirm whether outside the UK would still block.

Cloudflare blocks UK requests. If you use a VPN you choose which country you send the requests from.

Cloudflare as a separate entity from the VPN provider can't know where requests originally came from. That's the whole point of the VPN.

There is nothing new here. The article seems to misunderstand and to misrepresent.

Adding another free alternative; The free Cloudflare Warp for a semi-VPN. You can't choose your output node, but your traffic gets routed through their network.

It can run in proxy mode as well if you prefer only your torrent traffic being routed through it.

Do I need to say more?

Yes. Did the notices cost you anything, or did you ignore them without consequences?

I presume it's based on their legal cost of the three previous cases.

I agree it's very low in terms of cost of business, as legal cost, or seeking damages.

They don't embed the fonts on the website. They render previews as images. You can't download them from previews. You'll have to buy to get them according to their terms.

The blocking system can be real-time without the source list being updated immediately upon change evaluation requests.

Such lists will most definitely have false positives added, and way too many outdated entries because nobody managing them or requesting changes has an interest or investment in keeping the list up-to-date (beyond adding new entries for themselves) and narrow.

Even with juridical review, I'm not very hopeful about its quality in terms of technical expertise and nuanced and appropriate application.

You could have at least transformed the inaccessible video form into text.

It seems like they're referring to https://github.com/Batlez/ChatGPT-Jailbroken/, where you can check the source code.

To me it looks like all that does is make some kind of placeholder replacement, and there's some kind of custom prompt storage and retrieval.

Either way, if it does what you expect it to, doing more than intended by the service provider, it only works until they fix some checks or make some UI changes, and they may hold you accountable for evading technical measures to gain more than you subscribed (and paid) for.

Personally, I wouldn't trust integrating a random third party logic on a registered service. At the very least, I would disable auto-updating or copy/fork it.

I don't see them claiming it being "safe to download". I assume you're taking the implication or assumption as advocation and a safety assessment.

Depending on what you mean by "safe", no it's not safe.

I'm not familiar with the ChatGPT service in particular.

Can you describe the curvature of the hill as a mathematical function? Just so I can get a better picture of it.

Pay what? A physical copy? A digital license for streaming on a platform? A digital rental? A month of streaming service that includes it? Taking free access and public libraries (like public broadcasting libraries), temporary or time-limited into account? There's way too much variance to make any reasonable assessment on this.

To get an idea of price variance, even without monthly services, which make individual consumption cheaper still, let's look at the value of digital products on Steam.

Comparing my Steam account value calculated by SteamDB, the "lowest value" is 23% of the "value today". Taking into account that prices reduce significantly over time, you could put it much lower.

How do you expect people to calculate "if you had to pay for every item"?
