Well that’s gonna be interesting since the TV runs on my account but 99.9% of the time it’s my kids watching…

Welcome to the wonderful world of reverse proxies!

I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it’s comparatively hilarious that we still won’t budge on US “food”.

Holy shit! That guy hacked the system!

I’m guessing that one is toward the EU?

That’s genius, actually.

But can you shoot it down?

Would be interesting to see how they distinguish “personal consumption” and “transformative” consumption.

The AI did quite literally what any human educating themselves would have done : reading entire libraries to improve themselves. Then make money from it. So if little Timmy pirates 3DS Max or Photoshop to get a job, it’s fine yeah? Or a student trying to read their course without paying hundreds of dollars?

But wait, when Timmy reads a single virtual book, it’s thievery? It’s the loss of a sale? So how many sales were lost through all those virtual books stolen from paying customers by the AI?

They gotta decide one way or another at some point and stop taking the piss.

Also I wonder if the AI can actually remember the entire content of each book they read though. Or any. And if they do, then can that actually be proof, for each individual book thus regurgitated, that the copyright has been unfairly used since a full reproduction (or close enough as to fool a reader?) would be now available.

That’s gonna be some interesting jurisprudence.

That’s amazing!
What level is this? Like, is this a local show, national level, international? Just out of curiosity.

Didn’t want it in Opera, don’t want it in Firefox. I mean they can keep trying and I’ll just keep on ignoring this shit :/

It’s a service problem, though. Not a money problem. This is a perfect example of that very fact.

Sure, but I think Venerable Jorge would have 100% approved of copyright laws and violently enforcing them, somehow.

I used to be on Demonoid and some other JAV trackers but they shut down and I’m too lazy to bother with waiting to join another. Never really was into music enough to track (hah!) a private tracker and honestly I think it’s not in the spirit of torrents. But I appreciate the recommendations nonetheless :)

Meanwhile my torrent of Thee Michelle Gun Elephant is stuck at 31.9% because that’s all that’s available.

Story of my life with torrents, really. I just want the old and obscure, the stuff you can’t find anymore. But it always seems to be all about the latest popular shit, sadly.

It’s pretty tiny, but as long as you’re happy that’s the main thing. My colleague at work is a sysadmin by thread so built a server with all the bells and whistles, then put it online and opened it to some friends and family. I forget the size but we’re talking somewhere near 100 Tb easy. I find it a bit excessive, if you ask me :P

I’m glad it’s only the football streaming sites, but I don’t much like that companies get this kind of legal power.

I wish I could do that for Band Maid. I really want them to get my money. Not some fucking glorified delivery company.

I remember playing Wildlands and loving it so much I actually bought the game full price. Sometimes you gotta vote with your wallet.

Same reason as usual : the music I like isn’t conveniently available elsewhere I’ve looked to purchase, or available at unreasonable prices that won’t benefit the artist, and I refuse to stream shit. So the high seas it is!
