Re: How does Skype even work now?
Indeed -- or, as we budding lawyers are taught in law school, "Ignorantia legis neminem excusat." (Both the medical and the legal professions adore Latin.)

Re: How does Skype even work now?
What you underscored is the old admonition that ignorance of the law is no defense. On a side note, I have had reasonably good experience w/Skype on Phone--although I am of the view that Skype was never designed per se to be "phone-ready.
Wishing all a Happy Easter!!!
Re: Skype
@dlr: I think Skype has generally enjoyed more adoption on desktops and laptops (and even tablets) than on phones.

@mpouraryan: Indeed. And it also takes realizing that you don't get around copyright law by admitting your violating copyright law. ("This isn't mine. I stole it from someone else, but it's okay because I'm saying so right here.")

Re: Skype
So, my brother didn't have much to add to enlighten the conversation! He said that as long as phones are locked and password protected, it doesn't seem to be a concern.
That said, they are also careful not to use patient's names in texts.

Re: Skype
Honestly, I can't think of many things less appealing than the idea of my head appearing on someone's big screen smart TV as they video-chatted on skype with me!

Re: Skype
Yes, very true.
I was just never really a huge fan of Skype. I don't know if it's my generation or what? Honestly, I was more hooked on my phone than a computer. However, when the Skype app came out I remember that being a big thing!

Re: How does Skype even work now?
There is no question Apple is to be admired--As for YouTube, I am seeing increasing requests for takedowns. Creative Commons is how we operate at the Daily Outsider--and one of the things we try to be dilligent about is how we try and feature our Friday Musical Interlude by making sure that we feature officially sanctioned Youtube..it starts with us--doesn't it?
Re: How does Skype even work now?
@mpouraryan: Interesting observation. Indeed, the Apple store certainly took the wind out off the sails out of music piracy (pun acknowledged).
At least, until YouTube came along.
