  • vulnerabilities tested, don’t impact the PS5 in any way, does that mean technically Sony could get sued for not recontributing code back to the Linux projects?

    No.

    Let’s assume someone ships the Linux kernel in a device and the kernel has a vulnerability in some obscure subsystem (e.g. AFS) that is never used by the device. The device will not be affected by this vulnerability because the code can’t be reached.





  • So the music industry doesn’t want you to download private copies of songs (which btw is perfectly legal) but has zero problem with charging for e.g. “Happy birthday” - 118 years after it’s creation, whilst the orginal author distributed it freely and didn’t ever get a single penny.

    How do we fix this problem? It’s simple: We kill copyright (or shorten it to a few years) so that these parasitic freeloaders lose their base of support.
