I’m really intrigued as to how this will play out. I fully support the mother here and admire the fact she is willing to bring tech companies to account.
This will be a landmark case if she wins and will likely pave the way for other families who have also had to suffer.
@Madchatthew I think everyone has used Google search without even knowing it to be honest - even those who class themselves as purists.
I too have never trusted Google. You’re not alone!
@Madchatthew The general rule of thumb with Linux is that every kernel update attracts a reboot. The reason for this is that these updates cannot be affected with the kernel in use, so a reboot is the only way to ensure you have the best protection.
You cannot upgrade the Linux kernel without rebooting. At least not in a way you would think.
There are technologies like systemtap, dtrace, kpatch or kgraft which allow for small modifications of kernel code. These are meant as short “workarounds” to prevent security threats, and to typically to give you more time until you plan a maintenance window for reboot.
You will have to reboot at some point and should design your infrastructure for that (in the commercial sense).
@Madchatthew it’s this one 
see the first post.
@Madchatthew only by placing that data behind a paywall, or behind a session type such as a login.
The real issue here is the plethora of mp3 files available on public ftp servers which can easily be crawled even if the original artist declines to grant permission.
@Madchatthew good points. However, I suspect that this data is being crawled anonymously, so in this case, I do wonder how enforceable a cease and desist would be.
@Madchatthew yes, I think this is where AI falls short as it’s unable to convey emotion. Much in the same manner as a poorly worded email or text message does the same in the sense that it can easily be misconstrued owing to the recipient not being able to determine tone for example - this obviously isn’t transmitted with only words, and therefore, the recipient has to try and determine how the message sound be interpreted - which is, in most cases, wrong.
Most musicians have a trademark style of playing (for example, guitar), and it’s impassible for this to be truly replicated by AI. A human playing the same instrument could play the same melody multiple times and it would be different on each occasion.
