Streisandeffect

Louis Rossmann is a self-taught unauthorized Apple product repair guy that makes videos on how to repair Apple products & will be shutdown tomorrow by Apple together with Homeland Security.

"Having over-aggressive, amped up ICE agents pretending this is a drug raid and that they need to "shut down" these shops is a massive overreaction which only serves to help prop up Apple's bottom line by taking aftermarket competitive parts out of the market, so that Apple can keep the margins on its parts extra high.”

Well maybe he should stop violating Apple's IP.

He's a criminal and gets to go get buttraped in prison.

I'm glad.

Fuck Apple

Let's shutdown auto repair mechanics that have figured out whatever the hell is going on inside of modern cars, they're taking away automaker's business right?

This guy is a huge faggot desu. He's a douchebag. Doesn't deserve to have his business taken away from him though.

He sort of Streisand himself as well. If he didn't constantly berate Apple maybe they wouldn't have given a fuck about some random guy who repairs their shit. He literally declared war on Apple in one of his videos.

>Well maybe he should stop violating Apple's IP.

He uses original parts from donor motherboards. (other broken apple devices) and uses a soldering iron etc to swap individual chips on the circuit boards.

Apple simple completely replaces complete circuit boards (to make money).

Louis Rossmann is legit, but he has lived a hard life, he basically has the skills of an electrical engineer but none of the papers/credentials.

He deserves the support of Sup Forums; apple is wrong, he is right.

>He uses original parts from donor motherboards. (other broken apple devices) and uses a soldering iron etc to swap individual chips on the circuit boards.

So basically, he's stealing their copyrighted designs and replicating them without permission.

He's a thief and scum.

Did you read that

He owns property, then uses that property to repair other items.

He isn't reproducing anything

oy vey goyim shut it down

How many times have you failed reading comprehension tests?

Oh look, another kike who doesn't believe in intellectual property.

>GIMMIE YOUR MONEY
>NO GUYS, I'M ONLY PIRATING THIS BANK!

>disliking intellectual property nonsense is now a kike thing

This is an active war, it's time to pick sides.

If you are supporting louis, please seed a part of one of these torrent files:

nah the actual kikes and their puppets have started calling anyone who disagrees with them kikes to confuse everyone

ITT people shillin for "geniuses"

Kys

>ironically acting like a retarded faggot on the internet

For what purpose, Reddit?

>did i just enter bizzaro Sup Forums?
It's summer, just some kids thinking they are edgy.

Ok so by that logic any junkyard in the world is committing mayor intellectual property fraud, since they sell parts which are intellectual property of other companies.
Buy a tire of a junkyard to replace your broken one.
Well guess you just infringed the intellectual property of the car company you just changed parts with.

Also apple basically buys his shitty parts from companies in Asia which pretty much don't give a shit about copy right infringement .

Do you know how I can tell you are a Jew?

Shut the fuck up you literally don't understand anything you're saying

Only pretending to be retarded right?

What?
Why does this warrent federal shills attention?

never heard of this guy

fucking interesting as fuck

t. Engineer

>"wahhhh, why won't apple make it easier for me to fix their products. wahhhhhh"

guy cries like a little bitch just because apple makes his business more difficult to run.

>don't do the crime if you don't wanna do the time

Oh c'mon, what crime?

The guy asks people NOT to donate money, he only asks people to show him their successes (showing to him how they repaired their own/friends devices; showing how they set up their own repair shop businesses etc )

He is the type of guy that does what he does best not to make money, but simply to serve people and put a smile on others people faces.

There are so many scumbag car mechanics, so many spreadsheet thumping corporate sociopaths, so many pedantic law thumping government bureaucrats.

If a guy like Louis doesn't get Sup Forums community support i'm not sure i want to be part of this community any longer.

>Being this much of a lawyer
>FOR FUCKING FREE

>guy cries like a little bitch just because apple makes his business more difficult to run.

Apple's corporate sociopaths are going to crush his little business with help from the their own branch of government that they use to enforce their will.

Reminds me of when an iPhone prototype got lost in a bar:

"Four San Francisco Police officers escorted Apple investigators to a home in the city's Bernal Heights neighborhood, the statement said. The two Apple employees searched the home while the officers waited outside, police said. They did not find the item there and declined to file a police report, according to the statement.Apple's team searched the home, car and computer files, while police waited outside, the reports say. "

electrical engineer too

I learned about all this in college, but he's really easy to listen to and I would honestly recommend this guy to those who want to learn about electrical components and shit

well maybe he shouldn't have repeatedly attacked them in the public sphere

Why is Homeland Security involved?

How is this terrorism?

Saw his last video today, and damn I'm sad. He's kinda a pretentious windbag, and I don't buy all his "I do it for others", I mean, I think he actually believes that crap while being quite delusional on the subject; still, he has done a very good service to the people, and surely he doesn't deserve to be shut down. But it's the USA, after all, land of the free to do whatever corporations wants you to do.

Also
>do we actually own what we buy?
Apple says "fuck no goy".

Yeah that was some redic shit, but when companies like apple are the only reason the valley is still alive the govt is more willing to bend over for them.

gee i wonder who could be behind these posts

greedy corporate assholes being assholes just as usual

Long time subscriber of Rossman here.

Poor guy. He had it coming though. He knew. He fought it for years alongside other YouTubers but it seems like he finally lost due to exposure. Reddit ruins the day once again.

Doesn't this guy use schematics that are from Apple that are obtained illegal, he even used one in his video to see which part could be resoldered, and Apple even did the part of the schematics wrong to make it more difficult for repair.

Whew, global fascism is ugly.

>Doesn't this guy use schematics that are from Apple that are obtained illegal.

I know in map making there are "Trap Streets" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_street

'A trap street is a fictitious entry in the form of a misrepresented street on a map, often outside the area the map nominally covers, for the purpose of "trapping" potential copyright violators of the map who, if caught, would be unable to explain the inclusion of the "trap street" on their map as innocent. '

So if he uses schematics that are reverse engineered from circuits boards being shipped, he should be fine.

I've heard some rumors that on the darkweb there are some leaks of official schematics, if he showed those in videos he probably is fucked.

Buttraped in prison for unathorized repairs? What do think prisons are actually like m8?

...

TPP pls go

Homeland security confirmed for corporate goon squad using their colour of office to do illegal shit

You got a greenlight to stop them before they strongarm this guys house and probably destroy shit/kill stuff "by accident"

This is what local militias are for

Lets see who steps up to the bullshit

"The mods in r/apple are freaking out about Rossman, locking threads and banning anyone who brings it up. Can you edit your top comment on the videos thread to let people know about this? Here is a link to the largest thread they locked, but there are countless others that they are deleting as soon as they are posted."

if a subreddit is about some company or product from a company specifically (like a game) you better believe the mods are beholden to the company that makes that product

Or, OR, you know, that's the definition of repair...

>violating Apple's IP.
0/10

I got a Streamlight flashlight. Are you saying if I swap out the LED for an aftermarket one or use a battery thats not a Streamlight brand Im going to have my dog shot by some government agency?

>American education

Thats fucked

>stealing their copyrighted designs
0/10 again

Wait, so if I bought a prebuilt gaming pc by Gateway or someshit and I swap parts out for aftermarket or do my own repairs im gong to jail?

>reddit in charge of being a totalitarian regime
>redditors still haven't understood they're willfully living the orwellian dream
>people still try to make a fuss over the constant policing of the threads and the general censorship that runs wild in that site instead of outright leaving that shithole
Geez

That's what apple is pushing for, yes.

Damn, I always found this guy really wise

Homeland Security??? The fuck??

Kill yourself as soon as you read this

I dont get the homeland security part? What do they have to do with this and how are they legally doing this at all?

crApple employee spotted.

Mac Jew detected.

They're equating repairing the hardware you bought, done not by apple and possibly not with apple parts on par with terrorism. They're literally saying(out of their ass) that having non apple parts is illegal. If you watch the video he does about the right to repair bill he goes over how apple lobbyist tell congressmen this kind of shit, and has had congress critter handlers parrot the crap to him, whether they're ignorant and believe it or just pushing the narrative, it's the line they're going with to pass laws to move to make it illegal to own anything, and you a criminal and criminal acts to do anything to what you bought on your own.

apple has needed to die for such a long time

>sort of Streisand
literally who??

>Damn, I always found this guy really wise
He was, thats why i made this thread.

No good deed goes unpunished.

>Fixing Apple products using Apple parts
>Violating the IP

Shit bait 2/10 made me reply.

Someone should get linus tech tips to talk about this and start making it snowball into a big deal on youtube.

>apple has needed to die for such a long time

Never seen that article before, thanks.

Guess it explains why HyperCard needed to die.

>someone should do my job as a viral marketer for me

Voiding a warranty isn't illegal.

Shill spotted.

Scared?

>brings up Bank
Fuckin' kike.

In 2003, Streisand sued aerial photographer Kenneth Adelman for displaying a photograph of her Malibu, California home, along with 12,000 other photos of the California coastline taken to illustrate coastal erosion. The picture had at that point been downloaded a total of six times, two of which were by Streisand's lawyers. The suit had the unintended consequence of drawing attention to the photograph, which suddenly became wildly popular and was rapidly copied to multiple mirror sites outside the immediate reach of US law. Her lawsuit was eventually dismissed under the anti-SLAPP provisions of California law.[173][174][175] Mike Masnick of Techdirt coined the term "Streisand effect" in January 2005 to describe the publicity generated by Streisand's efforts to suppress the publication of the photograph.

Welcome to neoliberalism. It's like free market capitalism and communism put together.

Seriously.

(you)

>Welcome to neoliberalism. It's like free market capitalism and communism put together.
The worst parts of capitalism blended with the worst parts of communism.

ah I see now.

>coined
what "banned in Boston" said 100 years ago
so, something of a forced meme by freepers and dateless Hudson Institute types on a lonely Friday night.

apple has always sucked

he uses schematics that the chinks have been using for years. since there is no "official" source for them, he uses whatever he can find. he actually avoids using the stolen ones though, there's some chinks that offer them on a subscription plan which are quite literally stolen from workshops/warehouses in apple production plants in china.

>Rossmann

nothing of value was lost

I don't feel sorry for him. He was looking for attention and found it.

who from the where now?

>buying apple

>"hello I am a retard that hates third party anything, including webms"

if you buy apple ya straight stupid boy-o.

>he uses schematics that the chinks have been using for years. since there is no "official" source for them, he uses whatever he can find. he actually avoids using the stolen ones though, there's some chinks that offer them on a subscription plan which are quite literally stolen from workshops/warehouses in apple production plants in china.

What places can one find these schematics?

I'm not looking to get into repairing Apple stuff, but would like to modify some apple stuff.

After all thats how i taught myself how to code; making small changes to existing stuff & breaking into stuff people said couldn't be broken into.

hows that leather taste?

if you watch a few of his videos he mentions the name of the "company" that offers them, i didn't note it down, nor do i think i can point you into a direction more than that. sorry pal

You want the word "interventionism" or "cronyism". Neoliberalism is a nonsense word made up by statists to blame something other than themselves for the mess they created.

>Does things that are against the law.
>Gets caught.
>We're supposed to feel bad.

Hmmm...

dumb filthy puertonigger

dumb leaf.

>if you watch a few of his videos he mentions the name of the "company" that offers them, i didn't note it down, nor do i think i can point you into a direction more than that. sorry pal

He doesn't seem to have distributed them himself like he said here:
youtube.com/watch?v=d7n2gsb99bA

There are sellers on ebay publicly offering the schematics:

ebay.com/itm/Laptop-Motherboards-Schematics-5000-PDFs-To-Pick-From-/301588017398

"BUY ALL OF MY (daily growing) SCHEMATIC, BIOS's, Training, and Laptop Repair Video INVENTORY FOR $129** (Mega Order!) AND IT WILL INCLUDE A SUPPORT TEAM at OUR ALL OUR WEBSITES"

Seems like there is a laptop repair cabal.

Once I changed out my PC's 4gb memory for 8gb and a swat team came and shot my dog. The lawyers for the PC manufacturer took my home.

We are a free and open democratic multicultural society of liberal values and I learned my lesson. I stopped being a criminal.

No. They'll be shooting you, then your dog if they have bullets left over.

He claimed you can find most of them with a few minutes of googling. Probably find the name of specific parts and google "partname schematics" and go from there.

Heh I picked the mushrooms off my pizza and put some extra cheese on it and the swat team came and killed my mother. Damn, I need to stop criminalizing' with my filthy ways.

Are you seriously this stupid burger?
Repairing the motherboard is like repairing your bike.

>Oh, i don't do that, i just throw it away when it breaks.

fuck apple. i dont care if he violated some jew laws. The fact that a corporation gets government cronies to bully the little guy is disgusting.

Hoh I mixed my whiskey out with some coca cola and the swat team barged in and shot me in my stomach. Why don't I learn. A life of illegal antisemitic criminalizin' thievery.
