So I sell these models listed on my store (flippeddimension.store) and the person in question who is trying to do the same thing as me is here. I have painstakingly put a lot of effort into creating those models, and it stung when I read his comments congratulating him on his 'original' idea. But I knew that this day would come, I just didn't know how to prepare for it. I guess that's how the market is going to be when "competitors" come in and try to take the spotlight, but what I can't figure out is how he must have seen my 3D prints going around the groups that we follow. I have advertised heavily on all social media for the past 3 months that I have been printing and selling. I advertise to my school subreddit, have been promoted on school-related Instagram pages, also a school newspaper about me, and I have had had over 100+ sales with good reviews. So I can't tell if these people didn't do their homework while searching the market, or what else.
The thing that angers me is that they're trying to file for a patent application. How would I combat that? Do I have to file anything to keep my rights? I wouldn't want my shop to go down because they filed a formal application.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)
> RICHMOND, VA - Gary Thaxton has owned an independent auto repair shop in downtown Richmond, Virginia, since 1975.
> The Electronic Frontier Foundation, an advocacy group that focuses on technology issues, along with supporters of the independent auto repair industry, are hoping to change that, or at least make it easier.
> As the 2018 comment period opens up, they're hoping to get another exemption which would allow independent repair shops, and third party companies, the right to make changes and repairs to the software on products they already own.
> This means car owners, or independent repair shops like Thaxton's, must work with dealerships or one of the manufacturer's approved third-party repair companies, who purchases a license from the automaker to perform "Authorized" repairs.
> According to the Auto Care Association, a group that advocates for indie repair shops, this limitation hurts the free market and allows auto manufacturers to violate a previously agreed upon agreement, the so-called "Right to repair."
> He's a programmer for C & K Auto Parts, in Richmond, and has developed a small business by paying for the license for software and tools and then traveling to independent repair shops, offering to fix or upgrade their technology.

The ultimate goal of our curbside service is to not still be shopping when customer comes to pick up their order. So we will often shop the night before and morning of. It creates a snowball effect where an order can be done anywhere from 2 hours early to 5 or 6 hours on a good day. Most of the time we're not allowed to move up orders in line, but if it's done early and you come to pick it up we can totally give it to you. Just be sure to call ahead and check in, just in case it's a very busy day!
I've been sitting around for about 2 hours waiting for pickups that have been done hours ago.
You must be aware by now that Sci-Hub has stopped uploading new articles since late December 2020. This is due to a temporary order by a constitutional court in India, the Delhi High Court. Sci-Hub (Alexandra Elbakyan and others) was sued by three publishing giants - Elsevier, Wiley, and American Chemical Society.
Quick answer for those anxious for a response
No, Sci-Hub cannot be shut down by the Delhi High Court. Alexandra is based in Kazakhstan, and the Delhi High Court is, well, in India, and has no jurisdiction. At best, the court can block the website in India (but such a block can easily circumvented by Indian users using VPNs, mirror sites, tor etc.).
The case
Elsevier et al. has sued to gain a "dynamic injunction" to shut down Sci-Hub and Libgen. This means that once (if) the court sides with the plaintiffs, they (the plaintiffs) don't have to file another suit to block additional content (more papers, books, mirrors etc.).
If Indian courts have no jurisdiction, why has Sci-Hub stopped making new articles available?
The Delhi High Court gave an interim order, asking Sci-Hub to stop uploading new articles till the next hearing (which has passed, but the order holds till it is revisited). While Sci-Hub/Alexandra need not heed the order, I believe they're doing so in order to cooperate with the court proceeding. Why? Keep reading.
Why's Alexandra fighting it?
This is a very reasonable question. There have been plenty of other lawsuits in other countries. Why bother with India, when clearly Indian courts have no jurisdiction over Alexandra or the website (registrar, host...)? Of course, only Alexandra can answer this question, but we can make some informed guesses (and if you are someone in the know in the Indian IP/internet law community, please pitch in here).
Indian copyright law is pretty liberal and user-friendly; it allows a wide berth for non-commercial educational uses of copyrighted content. And there has been a precedent in the last decade, where Oxford UP sued a photocopy centre in Delhi University that used to make photocopied course-packs; the Delhi High Court ruled that this use by students did not constitute a commercial use, that the students were never going to be customers of the plaintiffs (because the source texts were priced unimaginably outside an Indian student's affordability), that the of copyright law is to catalyze creative
