You're on a FOSS platform, wtf do you expect.
Eh, they're better than most, but they're not all that great either. People Make Game made a very interesting video on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9aCwCKgkLo
Damn, that's scummy as fuck. I'll try to get the proper permalink.
Unsurprisingly, it's likely that this "death threats" situation was made up by the ceo: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/16j21jg/the_truth_behind_the_unity_death_threats/
It's a reddit link, ik... here's a copy of the post:
The truth behind the Unity "Death Threats"
Unity has temporarily closed its offices in San Francisco and Austin, Texas and canceled a town hall meeting after receiving death threats, according to Bloomberg.
Multiple news outlets are reporting on this story, yet Polygon seems to be the only one that actually bothered to investigate the claims.
Checking with both Police and FBI, they have only acknowledged 1 single threat, from a Unity employee, to their boss over social media. Despite this their CEO decided to use it as an excuse to close edit:~~all~~ 2 of their offices and cancel planned town hall meetings. Here is the article update from Polygon:
Update: San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity's San Francisco office "regarding a threats incident." A "reporting party" told police that "an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media." The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

Polygon also contacted Police in the other cities and also the FBI, this was the only reported death threat against Unity that anyone knew of.
This is increasingly looking like the CEO is throwing a pity party and he's trying to trick us all into coming.
That's a lot of turkey
The real solution is to abolish copyright
Unfortunately for capitalists, the "free market" isn't the defining (nor exclusive) feature of capitalism. Profit and private ownership is.
Regulation and reform isn't anti-capitalist though.
"Real" anti-capitalism lies in the realisation that this system cannot be reformed, the status quo must be dismantled if we ever want to move past it and truly work towards values of freedom and equality.
Meaning a mandated backdoor making encryption not really encrypted? Following the Australian LibNat Coalition's footsteps I see.
How is it "not this discussion"? The general topic is about peoples' housing/aparment preferences and Rukmer's concerns are perfectly valid.
Meaningless vague blanket statement
