Too many people are trying to answer the question "is it possible to
get a malicious viewer registered on the TPV directory". While the
answer is most certainly yes the question is rather irrelevant. The
important question is "will malicious viewers be put in the TPV
directory". I'm pretty sure tha
It'll be possible to copy content as long as there are viewers. If you
can see it on your screen there is always a way to make a copy that is

for code you develop or distribute thanks to the GPL. Let us travel

I clearly quoted the TPVP and showed what is literally there including
how cross-references support the interpretation. Your retort which

in really debating what is written there. Whatever they write in the

Any written words can be read with good or bad faith. Obviously
several of you want to find the most damning interpretation of the TPV
regardless of whether it's actually plausible or not that any court
would accept such an interpretation. If you look at it that way
there'll never be a good way of
