maybe someone has grown up and realized that the BBC is just as much a propaganda machine as the rest. who knows what their reasons are.

Sicherheitskopien sind erlaubt, aber du darfst den Kopierschutz nicht knacken. Naja, aber wenn du es machst,
Eins lässt mich wirklich ratlos, wie können wirksame technische Schutzmaßnahmen überhaupt umgangen werden. Sind das danach nicht etwa unwirksame technische Schutzmaßnahmen?
I completely disagree. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. What he proposes is just another flavor of technofascism, control disguised as ethics. These so-called humane scraping barriers will end up blocking humans, not machines. We have seen this before with CAPTCHAs, reCAPTCHAs, and all those "human verification" gimmicks, always bypassed by bots and always annoying to real people. Personally, I have nothing against crawlers and bots; they should do their shady jobs. Trying to wall yourself off is just meh. And those fancy licenses or “ethical use” terms won’t change anything either. The web is not the United States, and nobody really cares about someone’s imaginary social contracts. Maybe it’s time to accept a simple fact: once something goes on the web, it becomes public territory, and no one can still pretend to control the flow of information.
