This sounds like any website suddenly becomes an app store as soon as it starts distributing software for a mobile device. So (ignoring my following point), if I suddenly post my new APK on my personal site suddenly it's an app store!?
I think so. The intention is probably to have the law cover any method of getting your hands on an app, not just what we typically know as “app stores”. Otherwise, it would leave a loophole.
This sounds like it includes laptops but not desktop computers.
I thought that at first too, but I think the part at the end about “handheld electronic devices” is what limits it to not include laptops.
I mean, many flights get cancelled every day for a wide variety of reasons. While it’s possible that someone with power ordered the flight cancelled because this guy was on it, it seems far more likely that it was for some mundane reason.
Did he actually stay on like Moriarty? IIRC, Moriarty became self-aware/sentient and the crew was ethically bound to keep him running. With Vic Fontaine, I think it was more a case of “saving the game” so he could continue friendships when he was activated again.
