schmidtster,

The underlay would be under the carpet where it wouldn’t be seen.

schmidtster,

The underlay is part of that carpet, and would still be underneath the carpet where it wouldn’t be seen.

schmidtster,

He made far more than that selling the hack. Weird to be mad about him being fined.

schmidtster,

The group made far more than that, and of course he would downplay the amount himself to make his portion look less.

They sold millions of copies of a hardware for over $50. The group made mint and there was 3 of them.

schmidtster,

They can’t garnish disability benefits, they can only garnish wages.

schmidtster,

It shows people are getting mad just because someone endorsing piracy got their comeuppance instead of what actually matters.

schmidtster,

It’s how court cases shake down, especially with plea deals. And what court documents for one thing? Nothing in your links show court documents, just a blurp that also agrees with what I stated.

If you think he made that little with the hack, I don’t know what to say. You also seem to think they can garnish disability benefits, you’re mad over nothing and the wrong things.

But of course you’ll be upvoted since yay piracy! Nothing to do with the actual issue.

schmidtster,

What does the person being disabled have to do with anything?

schmidtster,

Person is in Canada and has disability insurance as well as government benefits. Unless the articles are wrong in saying disability insurance.

Still don’t see how it’s relevant to the story about being fined. Would be the same story for anyone disability or not.

schmidtster,

Because this group actively endorsed and profited from piracy. They made it a job instead of a hobby. Don’t profit from it, that’s like the one thing you don’t do, and they did it.

Not really a private citizen anymore at that point if you’re making a business.

schmidtster,

They profited heavily from and endorsed not just protective piracy, they aren’t innocent, far from it. What they did was actively harmful to the community as a whole as well.

Don’t make a career out of a hobby, that’s why they got burned so hard.

schmidtster,

The group made millions.

schmidtster,

Wait so you let them use the money how they wanted and now you’re mad at them for spending it how they wanted and how you told them…?

That’s a fucked up lesson and a half, you clearly didn’t learn your lesson and are now teaching the kid they will be punished for following instructions.

Well fucking done.

schmidtster,

Yeah you mentioned the kid spent their gift card how they wanted with permission from their parents, and you do the same thing, and is now being punished for it. Thats shitty parenting, you’re not banning them because they spent a little money.

This was just the excuse you needed, be a better parent and don’t make up shit.

schmidtster,

You started you post off just making fun of the game, we know your biased intent here.

You said a kid blew a gift card, and you let your kid spent money on microtransactions already. This is called a parallel, you don’t seem to comprehend you let your kid already do this as well…. What difference does the game make? You already let it happen, fornite, Roblox, Minecraft no difference. Yet you took offense to one single game.

The issue here is your parenting, it has nothing to do with the game, you said it yourself lmfao.

schmidtster,

That’s a placebo affect. Most generics are stuff that don’t meet the standards of the name brand, but is still fine to sell. Kind of a form of downcycling.

schmidtster,

Sometimes, just sometimes a company also patents it so no one else can use the terrible idea, not even them. Sony has done it a few times in the past. They patented yelling at ads to do something iirc.

schmidtster,

Signs of the times, there was usually only 1 tv so they had to make the media touch everyone. Now a days they can actually make media just for kids, since the parents can watch something else.

schmidtster,

Or people are putting in too low quality of paper into the machine. The paper has to be strong enough to active the mechanism, they already say two hands since one usually rips before being able to pull it down.

schmidtster,

And then the weaker springs don’t have the force required to cut paper that is adequate to dry your hands.

schmidtster,

What do you think the springs are activating?

schmidtster,

So vegans are complaining that they are overrun by non-vegans and carnivores are complaining they are overrun by non-carnivores.

And I thought Reddit was childish.

schmidtster,

Oh I just find it funny that y’all are going into each others communities and trolling.

Also, bringing it to light and trying to create a safe space will only make things worse. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy.

Only vegans can truly understand a topic sometimes.

What an arrogant take.

schmidtster,

You edited your comment after I responded.

schmidtster,

All I’m gonna say about that, is yes safe spaces are typically were our notions (wrong or right) are reciprocated.

You aren’t looking for people to understand a topic, you just want similar minded people to “circle-jerk”, not accepting outside opinion, but pushing theirs on others, is a major issue with people these days.

Not trolling at all, just pointing out what’s come across the Hot feed the last couple days, and trying to create engagement.

schmidtster,

Then why bring up it being overrun by “non-vegans” that’s not achieving what you wanted it to with that comment leading the topic.

schmidtster,

Actually, since I never directed a response to your question, I never disrespected that. I know it’s pedantic, but it’s important here. I was creating engagement for Lemmy by pointing out the funniness between two communities.

Asking for a safe space is asking for the trolls to come out, they’ll come out anyways, but all you’ve done is now put a beacon that you can’t handle a little feather ruffling.

Your Smart TV Knows What You’re Watching (themarkup.org)

These TVs can capture and identify 7,200 images per hour, or approximately two every second. The data is then used for content recommendations and ad targeting, which is a huge business; advertisers spent an estimated $18.6 billion on smart TV ads in 2022, according to market research firm eMarketer.

schmidtster,

Until it doesn’t work at all since the wifi chip is integral to boot up.

schmidtster,

And it’s funny how it doesn’t apply both ways. Go make a parody of one of Rockstars IP and see how fast you get cease and desist.

schmidtster,

Unless it’s posted somewhere dmca doesn’t apply is my understanding, but if RS finds out about your fan project, that’s what cease and desists are for. Stop working on it, and if you don’t you’re screwed. You couldn’t even “leak” it at that point.

Cease and desist is the far worse one to receive was my understanding.

schmidtster,

No a cease and desist doesn’t require a lawsuit, where does that apply? You have your lawyer draft a letter and if they ignore it, than you have to go to court and deal with it, but these aren’t used frivolously like DMCAs so they are usually followed.

You can’t DMCA something that isn’t copyright infringement, if you’re hosting it yourself, a DMCA doesn’t even really apply to you either. It’s for third party hosters. And you still need proof regardless, you can’t just dmca stuff and not follow through with proof and enforcement.

Your point is inherently flawed it seems.

schmidtster,

How many fan/parody games have made it to light instead of being C&D’d?

Parody is protected, but not when you have vastly more expensive lawyers who will bully you into compliance.

schmidtster,

You can get a judge to order and injunction for a cease and desist which make it’s legally binding, but it’s not the only method available.

I can send you a cease and desist to stop commenting on my comments, if you don’t I would either than take you to court, or drop it.

A dmca means nothing to the person who did the copyright infringement, great I can’t put the video on YouTube, on to the next one… how inconvenient and obstructive to their work.

You realize you’re on the fediverse where anyone can Self host instances… yeah?

schmidtster,

Almost 13,000 instances as of right now. I also own multiple websites, anyone who runs a business has their own website. I don’t think you realize how easy it is to have your own place to host content.

You don’t think RS lawyers aren’t constantly searching the net for stuff that breaks their IPs rules? It has nothing to do with size. They’ll find it.

I love how you’re still on about it DMCAs, drop it, that’s lost.

schmidtster, (edited )

Lemmy and other fediverses shows up on Google and other search engines, and can use booleans to search websites from Googleand other search engines. They know how to make it easy even if you don’t.

Can even automate it with a script and have it pop out a list of new websites every morning.

You don’t need to believe, it happens already mate. And cease and desists are far worse than DMCAs since there is no legal ramifications for ignoring a DMCA. Also parody is protected from copyright claim, so they couldn’t DMCA a parody anyways, it would only be able to be dealt with through a cease and desist. Which we already figured out doesn’t require a lawsuit, but you seem to want to ignore this key detail.

Blocked.

schmidtster,

Can you provide a single one?

schmidtster,

None of those are parodies of games……

And no saints row and rustler aren’t parodies, those are games in the same genre. You don’t think just because a game is a same genre it makes it a parody does it…?

Decent video on how it’s one sided against fans

schmidtster,

Why does it have to be a parody only of games? Parody in general is protected, as the games show.

Uhh… because that’s what we were talking about here….?

Where does it say it’s a parody of GTA…?

And that proves nothing but another person has your opinion, the only way to prove it would be a source from the developer, but that won’t exist since if they say it, they would be cease and desisted.

schmidtster,

No it was never announced as a parody of gta or they would have been cease and desisted.

Just because a game is in the same genre doesn’t suddenly make it a parody.

You responded to my comment about specific game parodies, I’m sorry you can’t converse properly.

schmidtster,

If they pay hazard pay and people willingly contribute, what’s the issue?

schmidtster,

People donate blood, plasma, sperm and breast milk from all walks of life already. Some get paid too.

If you want it to be about a particular group in can be, but even well off people donate/get money for their bodily fluids.

schmidtster,

And people sell them too already. They aren’t exploited.

Yeah there will be people that try to abuse it, that applies to literally everything in life and should never be the reason to not do something.

schmidtster,

Unless they are forced to it can’t be exploitation.

Now if they work health benefits into instead of just paying better wages, that would be more on the exploitation side. But thats the bad eggs ruining it for the other 98% that don’t abuse it.

schmidtster,

Exploit has multiple meanings, exploiting a resource and exploiting someone in an underhand or unfair way do have the same phrase to explain them. But exploiting a resource is obviously much different than treating workers unfairly.

Verbs and nouns typically have different meanings for the same word, maybe time for an English refresher.

schmidtster,

And if they are paid fairly it’s not exploitation anymore. That’s their decision to make, not yours.

schmidtster,

Not your decision it make. Hazard pay exists for a reason, many people view that as exploitation as well. Doesn’t make it so, sorry.

Words have different meanings, and you missed the mark thinking it was like mining.

schmidtster,

There are other words in the definitions that mean the same.

What do you think unfair and underhanded means….?

schmidtster,

Blocking the spam troll bye.
