There are known ways to bypass paywall which are just impossible to implement within a browser extension while trivial on 12ft or archive. For example, to use Ukrainian residential proxy as some news websites granted free access from.
https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?url= operates from legit Googlebot IPs so it allows anyone to get the paywalled content even archive.is fails to fetch (from theinformation.com, for example)
Doesn't "possession" refer to "holding the copyright"?
If someone illegally downloads (pirates) the copyrighted content, how do they become the possessor?
In this case it means "the possession of a copy". In Germany that means that you have the file on your storage device and are able to retrieve them (put them on a screen, make a copy or send them to someone else. 'Deleted files' are also retrievable until overwritten).
I was wondering if there is a possibility of obtaining an offline version of the service, in order to mitigate the inherent risks associated with transmitting proprietary code to external servers, thus ensuring optimal security and confidentiality of said code?
If we set aside moralizing, and take only the facts, then:
1. the company moved to countries with higher multipliers (i.e. with the same profit, the Dutch or German company is worth several times more than the Russian one). The current outbreak of Russophobia and panic associated with sanctions has given a unique chance to do such a relocation. They write that 800 employees agreed to move in 2022. How many would have agreed in 2021 or 2014?
2. in Russia, quite a few of the employees are local citizens. Some of them had their own homes. By getting a better offer, they could change jobs in 2 weeks. In Holland (Cyprus, Germany, ...), they need a residence permit for 1 year, tied to a specific employer. If they decide to change jobs, the new employer has to go through a months-long bureaucratic process, comparable to the process of initial migration from Russia - and this process does not guarantee a successful conclusion. And all these months they will have to pay for rented housing. And the previous (1 year, remember?) permit can expire during this process, which threatens deportation. That is, the employees have become much more dependent on the company, they will not scatter in the event of a major reorganization, cost-cutting (for the sake of morality and democracy, of course), etc.
This all looks like preparation for the sale of JetBrains. I would bet that this will happen in the coming months. The difference between 2014 and 2022 is somewhere in here, not in who attacked whom and when.
(the above is a subjective perception of their text and pure speculations, based on personal experience in a similar relocation of an IT company from Russia to EU short before 2014)
Those who have stock or options should not be disappointed by a 3-5x increase in the value of the company and, indeed, they have their own government to thank for the opportunity to convert the company in a way that would not have been possible otherwise: resistance from both workers and EU bureaucrats protecting the local labor market from emerging companies with 800 foreigners would have been blocking.
P.S. Also. I would avoid hosters (and other Internet services) that have political slogans on their site ("support Ukraine", "BLM", whatever). They will easily turn off paying customers for the sake of agenda and virtue signaling, whether it comes from a news feed or a single abuse complaint.
