Sure, but if you install DR, then you have DR to do other things. Like chase that YouTuber dream, or field annoying calls from your great aunt who knows you can edit videos to digitize her parents super 8 family videos that are have rotten.

See, the thing is, the corporations believe they already own our money, so not giving it to them when they demand is the real injury, not us downloading a game or a movie. All the product does is tell them which internal bounty hunter to credit with the safe capture and return of what was already theirs.
If that’s the case, I’d say the new mod did get the memo about Lemmy, and about the fediverse at large, and actually understood the legal risks involved in hosting this community.
Federation works by receiving and locally storing content from remote instances, which means any instance based in the USA is going to assume some significant legal risks by not banning this community.
It’s not that they’re refusing to let people look through a window into another, remote host. It’s that they’re refusing to host and serve that content from their own website.
It was deemed legal and fair use after the film and music industries sued VCR manufacturers and users.
So yeah, it absolutely was considered piracy by the media production and distribution companies. The courts disagreeing with them doesn’t change that.
You can see the discussions that inspired the Comic Book Guy.
Let the free market run its course and let pirate sites compete with streaming services to improve their services.
Hate to break it to you, but regulatory capture is the free market running its course.
they got the A and B buttons backward
I can’t tell if you’re joking or what
But a federation is fragmentation. If the only thing that doesn’t help reddit is another centralized system, then that’s really just a claim that private ownership of the internet is good, actually, so long as we like the owners.
Ooo, is it made by the people I work for? Because this story sounds incredibly familiar to me.
Federated means you shoulder the cost of hosting the bits users care about, while they harvest all the value in what you post!
Not nearly enough people use hashtags, unfortunately. I wish more would get on board.
My experience using the *bins has been that they provide a superior community UX, but the microblogging end of things feels very rough and under-invested in. It’s a value-add that doesn’t integrate well, or add real value.
There’s a ton of potential there for cross-posting, but it’s totally unrealized.
The Misskey forks are definitely the best UX as an end user I’ve tested out. And I found them easier to set up than Lemmy. But I also found that they caused frequent CPU spikes on my VPS.
I’m not sure if Mastodon does that or not, as I didn’t try running it, but I didn’t have the same experience with Akkoma or Friendica.
That said, I found Icefish’s implementation of the Mastodon API a godsend for mobile use.
I’m always surprised when people propose monopolies as if a) they’re good, and b) that’s not what everyone in the game right now is trying to provide.
Everyone wants to be the one collecting the subscription fee. No one wants to be the one trusting the guy collecting the subscription fee to give them a fair cut.
I’m not sure why there are always monopoly apologists popping up in these. You know Netflix isn’t any less greedy than the studios, right? A private monopoly isn’t a good thing.
Developers deserve to be paid for their work!
Also, wages in games is low, but if you wanted to be paid more for your work, you should find another job!
Have it as a distributed network of smaller instances, rather then having everyone pile on to 2 or 3 big ones. It’s easier for admins to notice the bots if their site populations remain relatively small, and it’s easier to defederate from sites that are enabling the bots if they’re not also home to 80% of users.
Hah. Ubisoft execs think they should be paid whenever someone produces a Let’s Play with one of their games. They’re the horniest of the publishers with respect to game streaming.
They are beyond adament that they own your experiences. If they never see a piece of physical media again, they’ll still be upset that their old games are still playable without their say so.
I’ve avoided Sony products as best I can since then. I’m probably not aware of the full suite of Sony-owned brands and companies, but rootkit made it so I haven’t had a piece of Sony branded merchandise in almost 20 years.
I kind of suspect this was an attempt on the IA’s end to get parts of copyright struck down by court ruling. Laws can be clear and still found to not be in the public’s interest, or in violation of some other legal doctrine, and sometimes you’ll see groups come at them sideways.
Ownership laws are really tough ones to chip away at, and IP law in particular has been getting worse and more unassailable over time.
