What does MS care if you buy a new computer? They sure implied that most people would HAVE to buy a new one to run their new OS. Not sure where you think they're "getting over AI". By the end of the year, according to them, they'll have spent $128 billion on AI in 2026 alone. So... whydo you think they're getting over AI?

I'm not sure United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez aapplies like you think it does. If that were teh case, any foreign corporation without a physical/substantial presence do not have to comply with US law even if tehy offer services in the US, or foreign banks comply with US reporting laws on US citizens.

United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez was about a search and seizure of a non-US citizen in a foreign country. Teh question is does offering services in the US via teh web and charging for tehm establish enough of a presence to be afforded Constitutional protection?

Corporations with no physical presence here to NOT have to comply with US law, moron. Of course, the US government has a bit more reach than most, so not complying could mean facing lockouts from the global financial systems. You think I give a rat's ass that my website isn't compliant with EU privacy laws even though an EU citizen can reach it?

On average, movie studios take about 55% to 60% of domestic ticket revenue, while theaters keep the remaining 40% to 45%. The bigger the movie is anticipated to be, or for the big franchise-films, the studio can demand up to 80% of the ticket sale. For Indie-style films, they may have to settle for 30%.

So, I guess my question is answered.. No, you idiots do not know what the split is. You'd all prefer to be conspiracy-theory assholes.

That is absolute and utter bullshit. It MIGHT be the case if DeepSeek had offices and/or facilities in the US. It does NOT. Merely offering services in the US doesn't get you anything. You clearly haven't got a clue what the fuck you are talking about.

United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez establishes that foreign citizens and corporations outside the sovereign territory of the United States do not possess rights under major provisions of the U.S. Constitution. Constitutional rights typically require a physical/substantial presence within the United States or its sovereign sphere.

Why can't you spell "the"? You fucked it up every single time.
