    What timing. Just bought a security camera (not naming names) that promised it would work without an internet connection, just through PoE to my local network. Installed it, blocked its IP in my router from accessing the internet… "This device cannot access our authentication servers. Internet access is required for initial setup." Wireshark tracked the outgoing packets to a US IP addressed server that, to my knowledge, has no affiliation with the camera brand (maybe they're just renting server space there, but I don't care; I don't want my camera communicating with any, let alone foreign⁽¹⁾, servers).
    Packed it up and it's back on its way to Amazon. Glad I tested it out before running ethernet cables everywhere.
    (1): I live in Germany. If you're a US citizen, just imagine your camera sending data to taiwanese servers. And besides, be honest, do you trust your data to be secure on a US server?

      I bought a DJI Action Osmo 4k. It is a portable, semi-ruggedized camera, with a microsd card slot for recording footage.
      I turned it on. It required I install an application, register an account, and connect to the internet to activate it. It would not work or allow me to use it to record video until I did this.
      I never bought a DJI product again. This type of thing is becoming too commonplace. Most people don't care, so it will continue to become the norm. Once it is too late, and companies have the ability to turn devices off, disable you from using them after a few years, or control how you use them, and there are no alternatives - THEN, people will care.
      That's the unfortunate reality of life.

      Putting stuff into a EULA doesn't trump law. It can't enforce anything that isn't legally enforceable or is illegal to try to force. The problem is that there isn't anything specifically stating that a company can't force arbitration on you. Hopefully one day it will in fact be illegal. It won't stop companies from putting it into their EULA but it will disallow them from legally enforcing it.

    They can't force you to do arbitration. Forced arbitration isn't legal they just expect you to be dumb enough or broke enough to not challenge it in the court system when several states already have laws against it and many others have already ruled against it.
    Edit: I just googled it to verify and it's federally illegal and has been so for a couple of years now. They passed the FAIR act which bans most forced arbitrations. No, it's not legal, take it up to the higher courts and sue them for breaking federal law.
    It is H. R. 963 passed on March 21, 2022.
    "The purposes of this Act are to-
    (1) prohibit predispute arbitration agreements that force arbitration of future employment, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights disputes; and
    (2) prohibit agreements and practices that interfere with the right of individuals, workers, and small businesses to participate in a joint, class, or collective action related to an employment, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights dispute."

    One microscopic silver lining is it's becoming a thing for services to be offered that will work with a large number of people to mass-file for arbitration for what would normally require a class action lawsuit. Since the companies pay the filing and arbiter fees (due to wanting the arbiter on their payroll to lean their way), the costs to them can skyrocket very quickly showing them why it's a bad idea to force arbitration. Companies have even tried to get courts to move mass arbitration filings combined into a class-action lawsuit to save on time and costs and the judge just laughed them out.

    Your on-premesis stored video is also protected by your civil rights where cloud stored video is not. Companies or government agencies would need to get a search warrant from a judge in order to legally access your locally stored video. They have no special requirements to get your cloud stored ring video. Note: I don't think this applies to businesses unless your business is at your home.

    • @boomergames8094
      @boomergames8094 Před měsícem

      on-prem stored video of a business is protected, and the business can require a warrant. It is especially easy for a business to do that if the video is either encrypted or stored off-site.

    the arbitration agreement is close to a waiver. I'd argue such negligence is outside the scope of the waiver and therefore not enforceable in the case of such massive widespread data leak. Attorneys are expensive, and without class action, along with so many arbitration agreements finding their way into products and jobs alike, make it impossible for the average working class individual to protect their rights, and prevent tyranny.

    Louis you might want to keep an eye on the Supreme Court - while they won't outright ban it, there are a number of cases that were argued this year regarding arbitration (the most recent involving a person that files a federal lawsuit and the sued party uses their Terms of Service to force Arbitration under the "Federal Arbitration Act", and then ask the court to discharge the lawsuit, when the law only says to put the court case on hold pending arbitration, forcing the original party to re-file if arbitration fails). All of these cases should be decided by the end of June - and I hope it is the beginning of reforming the Federal Arbitration Act, and with it all of these companies that dodge their day in court behind unfair arbitration.

    Louis, please get in touch with Ross at Accursed Farms about his recently announced international legal/civil campaign to stop video game publishers making their games inoperable after sale. I've never seen someone push further on the issue than his latest video, which gives detailed steps people in several countries can do to push back against this using gov. petitions and consumer advocacy groups. I think you've mentioned the possibility of collaboration on this issue in the past... now is the time!

      @MetroAndroid Před měsícem +1

      @@rossmanngroup Thanks for the reply. Many of the petitions require certain thresholds, X amount of signatures, for a required gov. response, so the amount of eyes on the issue while the petitions are active could make a huge difference in key nations with strong consumer protection. Ross is trying to achieve more on the scope of a game industry-wide change, but it's dependent on how wide a reach he can get. Many European countries don't even _have_ legal precedence over situations where purchased games are made totally inoperable. And France, where Ubisoft is based, has some of the strongest consumer protection in the world, so a compelled response from a petition could effect meaningful change.
      Even without making a video about it, perhaps something you've learned from lobbying companies like this could be useful to his cause, in an advisory way? He came up short in meaningful ways to tackle the issue within America, by comparison. I know you're quite busy with your own business(es) though, so thanks for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate all you've done.
