What does this have to do with copyright? This is stealing pure and simple. If you walk out of a museum with one of its art pieces, you're not going to get arrested for copyright infringement.
What did he steal? He was receiving the binary data anyways when he streams it on his devices. How does him just keeping that binary data on his phone/computer instead of deleting it qualify as "theft"?
Being this much of a bootlicker for mega corps under the guise of "law abiding" is dumb. It's also and incredibly disingenuous argument. Stealing a physical thing is one thing, bit perfect copying of a digital item removes it from nobody's possession. And since I don't believe that companies have the right to infinite money for having stolen enough from previous endeavors to buy up the rights to things people like, taking it in any way you can is lawful regardless of if it's legal.
Meh, its almost line taking money for music without ads and inserting ads and fake music/promo content.
To make it simpler: MANY countries have enacted a law where every storage device (disk, pendrive, dvd) has a special surcharge/levy added, that covers the coat of "piracy".
The meaning of native in these discussions is "no web technologies", because Qt gets thrown around and that's as native as to macOS as Electron, just in a different manner.
That's the exact same way AAA games are native, which well, they are. As the article itself makes clear, the OS-default toolkit doesn't really have a privileged status on macOS today, any more than it does on Windows or many Linux distros.
