Fwd: Re: Daily Nation ePaper - Download Script [Linux/OSX]

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Daily Nation ePaper - Download Script [Linux/OSX] Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 14:52:38 +0300 From: Lloyd N. <njungelloyd(a)gmail.com> To: Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu(a)gmail.com> I believe a good analogy here would be "bit torrent" clients and more specifically the Piratebay saga. The site's owners where liable for providing a platform where pirated/copyright infringed material could available online and were subsequently charged. Not once did i hear bit torrent client companies mentioned from a liable stand point. NMG have sub contracted "Real View Technologies" to offer their e-products online. However For a company whose portfolio of clients allegedly involves fortune 500 companies, they have done a shoddy job of it (ie. Paywall implementation) and thus content to the link is publicly available and as thus, public domain. Liabilty of loss from NMG's standpoint if and when this comes to their attention would rest with Real View Technology for not offering what they promised in their contractual agreement. Then theres the issue of not directly accessing NMG's personal infrastructure, but Real View Tech.
