  • Authors Guild Asks Supreme Court to Hold Internet Providers Accountable for Copyright Theft

    Jump

  • To be clear, I'm not saying it's a good argument. OP just grossly mischaracterized it.

    The main issue with this is that it would either A. Be massively open to abuse in the same way that YouTube is now, but would come with greater penalties in that you can lose Internet access. Or B. Force your ISP to do a copyright analysis every time they receive a report.

    Every illegally downloaded book is a lost sale

    This is straight out of 2007. What an awful position to take.

    And that's fucking wild about someone fighting you over your own music. The DMCA is a fucking joke.

  • No, that would be if they tried to assign liability to Bell Labs. ISPs have traffic logs and are assigning IP addresses to pirates. I'd say it's closer to holding Hertz accountable when people who rented cars break the speed limit. Still a terrible idea though.

    But I'm concerned how they can request this with a straight face, since we've seen wholesale abuse of the DMCA since its inception. Ask anybody who has a YouTube channel with more than 5k subscribers about the false reports they've received from companies claiming to own someone else's music. People are going to have their access cut off based on fake reports.

  • OpenMediaVault does this as well if you use the built in Docker system. I have it set to back up containers every Sunday at 1 am, at which time it pulls any new images. You can set the number of backups to retain and roll back if there are any issues.

  • Blue Shield of California shared the private health data of millions with Google for years

  • It's really the latter, but the laws requiring notification are structured in a way that it's considered a breach because the end result is the same for the individuals affected.

  • That's weird. My wife uses an iPhone and it works flawlessly, and I don't think any specific configuration was required.

  • Feedme is good but Read You is gorgeous (and we all know that's what matters).

  • OpenAI Says It’s "Over" If It Can’t Steal All Your Copyrighted Work

    Jump

  • This is the correct answer. Never forget that US copyright law originally allowed for a 14 year (renewable for 14 more years) term. Now copyright holders are able to:

    • reach consumers more quickly and easily using the internet
    • market on more fronts (merch didn't exist in 1710)
    • form other business types to better hold/manage IP

    So much in the modern world exists to enable copyright holders, but terms are longer than ever. It's insane.

  • That's fair, but OpenAI isn't fighting to reform copyright law for everyone. OpenAI wants you to be subject to the same restrictions you currently face, and them to be exempt. This isn't really an "enemy of my enemy" situation.
