I don't see how that is relevant.
You might want to reconsider the iamverysmart routine since you couldn't even spell copyright correctly one comment ago, yet I assume you expect me to believe you have some knowledge of the topic.
However, your point is my point. There was no risk of a lawsuit; they'd just get a takedown notice.
Though, now that I scroll up, what does this have to do with whether or not defederation is sometimes warranted? Did I get mixed up, or did you?
I had to look up what "mald" meant. Man you can portmanteau anything, huh? Haha
As I understand it, she wasn't "denied" it, technically, she was harassed and belittled and made to feel like a bad person for taking it.
Maybe the law in Canada can still be used? I hope so.
My wife had a guy start at her company the same day she did, but he got fired that same day because for reasons no one understands he decided it would be wise to make his Teams (or whatever they used. Slack? I can't remember) profile picture a meme that said "Epstein didn't kill himself" or something to that effect.
It was a six figure software engineering job, too. I cannot imagine losing a job like that for such a silly, self-inflicted reason.
No, not exactly. It's more like "a service isn't held responsible for what users do with it". If an analogy is helpful, imagine charging the phone company because two people arranged a bank robbery over the phone. That's what section 230 prevents. (It's more complicated than I'm making it but for our purposes the complications aren't pertinent.)
LW was in no danger at all, assuming that if they were contacted about copyright violations, they react in a sane way, by taking down the offending content.
The whole
Yes, and what do you mean when you say that?
This makes no sense, unless you know that you're wrong.
We have to agree on the definitions of words to have a meaningful discussion. You clearly are working with some definition of "authoritarianism" that also includes wearing uniforms and saying sir. Before we can continue on, I need to at least know what you mean when you say ""authoritarianism".
The only reason I can see why you'd refuse to give me this information that only you can give me is because you realize that your definition is not accurate.
So that is what I'm going to assume, for now.
I really don't know but I doubt they make them clean up or shower before a mug shot, judging by the ones I've seen haha.
And due to the nature of IP enforcement, once an object has been created that the copywrite holders could find objective, takedown enforcement becomes impossible when an object is more or less instantly shared across a hundred thousand instances.
This is not correct.
I've had the same issue. Sometimes I play on my steam deck and sometimes on my chromebook via GFN and the steam sync stuff never seems to work. I don't think GFN is giving enough time to let these seemingly huge files finish uploading before killing the VM.
Other games are fine with this dynamic so it feels like an issue specific to BG3.
Don't even get me started. Go ahead and ask any of the admins which copyright laws they're so terrified of. They'll tell you US laws.
