Louis rossmann has been pirating board schematics since before he did board repair in a basement, since apple likes to make them so inaccessible. On some of his streams you can even see the watermark of the site he pirated them from on it xD
I'm surprised he hasn't been imprisoned for copyright infringement. Using pirated schematics for a repair bussiness surely would've triggered law enforcement to shut him down, wouldn't it? Or is this somehow bypasses DMCA because of the first amendment? I don't know how laws work as I'm not a lawyer
I'm not 100% up on USA law, but wouldn't this just be a civil matter?
Yes.
