You can still agree that it’s a useful tool in this circumstance, right? I mean we work with what we have; more often then what we want.


Except its entirely used by two organizations who absolutely hate fan content and fair use, and made the system so vague that anyone and everyone can openly attack people's content. For the small, very small amount of times RIAA/MPAA have provided any benefit, there's an immense amount of abuse that outweighs it.

The only valid reason people have for hating that stuff is RIAA/MPAA using them as tools in a terror campaign against piracy by suing old ladies and teenagers. I don't think anyone but pirates have an issue with them being used legitimately, and even most of them would think its funny as poo poo to use those laws against scumbags

gently caress me, I guess I’m the rear end in a top hat for seeing you post that there is only a singular valid reason to dislike how it’s used and then providing multiple other reasons you never listed.

Honestly and I just added this in a previous post, these days it’s the platforms on own content Id systems and having back door access to the tool. It’s amazing just how granular they’ve made it. You can set up a trigger that anymore then this % of non original content and you can claim the whole thing.

The sights you’ll see. :lol:

Now I will say when I did traditional content assets production, the world was so much different even 8 years ago, but you’d be surprised all the companies you can get a persons data on without even having a subpoena, at least back then.

Ah yes YouTuber drama 101. That said with YouTube these days it’s not actually the DMCA, but content Id and back door access to YouTube’s takedown tools. Honestly those are far more susceptible to abuse, and trust me that happens on a geometric size larger then DMCA takedowns.

I have a family member lawyer who works in artistic IP law, mostly music. That poo poo is older than YouTube. YT just makes it more obvious to the lay person and allows people to more readily abuse algorithms without having to formally file claims.

I'm well aware of how it works, and we shouldn't be praising any system created by the loving mob that is the RIAA/MPAA and their exploitive asses. Hell, those two companies are probably the most exploitive force on earth outside the government

Man I'm more focused on that keyboard guy :lol:

That said it doesn't help that the reason the religious exemptions are looked at nearly enough is that L. Ron Hubbard's personal scam and sex cult made a huge stinking about it (as did right wing ones) which pretty much caused the IRS to go, "gently caress dealing with this poo poo!" Well I think that was the general gist of things.

I mean, I wish they could make the connection between what's happening to them and BLM/defund the police movement but they absolutely won't. It's two entirely separate issues to them. I could tell you to draw a connection between the orbital mechanics of Jupiter and the latest changes to Taco Bell's menu and it would make the same amount of sense to you as this connection does to them.

BLM are radical leftist violent fake news criminals to them that deserve to be targeted because of what they are born as, while they are patriotic truth tellers being unfairly targeted for choosing to take certain actions they have entirely within their control not to take. They'll never admit how backwards they have these two things because cultural white supremacy demands they don't.

Biden hasn’t picked a his attorney general yet, right?

I am naive, but it seems like these stories of cops being violent with MAGA protestors started once it became clear they could be facing a non-Trump AG who would send the FBI to come take a hard look at their selective “enforcement.”

edit: I mean obviously not the rank & file like that toothless Boston gently caress that got caught on bodycam being excited about running over people the other day.

I definitely see the irony in mocking Corbyn as a "darling" or cult of personality while the current reward for acting as the best unpaid remote phone bank worker is that you might get to be on a telephone call with Keir Starmer.

UK politics are weird as all hell, and I'm no expert, but I cannot begin to imagine that conservatives are going to give any real credit for Starmer's vocal support of the sight-unseen conservative Brexit plan.

Honestly it's just a copy of stuff I've seen in the US. It's the $5,000 a plate dinner, but for the people who would normally be the servers at those events (jeez that's far harsher then I meant for it lol) and whose donations generally have little impact...although I can't comment on UK election laws or spending habits, so perhaps micro donors do have a use.

Also by victory I mean towards regaining Parliament.

If Corbyn, who was a best uninterested in the EU and a worst in favor of Brexit, but for left reasons, had actually run a quality remain campaign...we might not even be dealing with this issues now.
