So, you're evil enough that some people have decided to sue techdirt. That's big archievement, only idiots falls into that trap. We trust that there is enough barriers of entry for lawsuits that it requires significant burden from users before they overcome the blockers and sues the internet platform. While I haven't studied the exact reasoning for the lawsuit, the mere fact that the platform was sued by someone is enough to raise eyebrows. Something must be broken in techdirt for that to happen. It doesn't matter if the plaintiff is an idiot or evil copyright troll, it's enough that they are determined enough to fill the paperwork required for a real lawsuit.
There are several alternative places in the legal process where plaintiff can decide that suing the defendant isn't right way to go. But when these issues are big enough problems, the legal process is completed, and the internet platform gets sued. And that's when the world will know that something bad is happening in the system where those signals are coming from.
something that your boys at the RIAA have argued otherwise.
It's not RIAA that argues this point. It's newspaper publishers who keep arguing that blocking ads is infringement.
But if you can't even recognize who is the target of your fury, you cannot even fill the paperwork for the lawsuit correctly, as it requires correct target name that you wish to sue.
You said that all illegal products must be taken off the market to respect copyright law.
(or risk having RIAA/MPAA knock your door)
You said that all products are illegal, including your own.
Just need to keep the illegal part as small as possible. If customers and competitors cannot find it, it's a-ok.
Why is your stuff still available online?
All development activity has some risk attached. Either you don't get customer buy-in happening, or your product is too illegal and you need to take it off the shop shelf, but either way, it's very risky to do any product development.
Then think of product safety requirements. If some small children buy your product and they accidentally hurt themselves with the product, you'll be liable. There's risks like this in all product development.
If you think that you can dictate to end users what they want rather than listening to what they want, you're in trouble.
The process does not work like that. I'm only implementing what is technically possible. After my work is done, it still requires some choosing which features to offer to each customer. The base work implements "full areas", i.e. all significant features are implemented once.
basically it does not dictate anything. I can quickly reconfigure my software to any customer wishes, once I receive information what is customer requirements.
I have to wonder why someone so actively hostile to end users has decided to try making his name with a product that would fundamentally require working with them,
There is nothing that would require active particpation by end users. While end users might speed up decision processes, nothing in the development process requires that input. Development need to continue even in situations where end users are simply not available for money-testing the solution.
but threw a hissy fit and locked up his GitHub page when they tried doing things he disagreed with.
The other people actually wanted github repo private...
like "competent design" and "ability for users to understand the UI"
I call it more like "checking for indentation problems" and "trying to crack the copyright protection features"... from where I come from, those are not either competent design or ability for users to understand the ui.
but he still has a link to the dead project on his site
It's not dead project, just private repo.
his being how much he cares about his visitors.
The visitors never wanted github repo for any valid purpose. Their only idea was to find ways to bash the project on public and break the development process.
Misuse of the github repo is significant problem for free software. Misused features simply cannot be allowed to exist. Same way this opensea is now trying to filter out misuse from their platform.
You're the one who made extraordinary claims like being a robot.
If you're creating 100 millipn gadgets, robots are doing large chunk of the work. After doing that for a long time, it gets difficult to recognize where robot-mode starts and humans begin. Thus some humans need to be in robot-mode. This is why we call them robots.
That hasn't stopped you from creating a modeling software like Blender's.
There's some techniques that help with the task:
1) glance techniques
2) clean-room techniques
3) allowing no access to competitor products
4) living in a cave with no outside world
5) no internet access
Basically there are some sacrifices that you need to do to be able to legally build software that does not infringe copyright of your competitors. But that's life.
Does PUBG have a patent on their game’s rules? Nope. It wasn’t original enough to get one. Patents protect ideas, but copyrights don’t.
You still cannot clone someone elses feature list, simply because (to you) feature list items look like ideas. Basically feature list items are fixed to a medium whenever someone built a product out from the "ideas" embedded in it. This medium will give copyright protection for the ideas. You cannot get patent protection without paying significant amount of money, but copyrights are always available.
If you had that sort of "different way" you'd have realized that the 3d model you used in your tech demo was illegally sourced from Scott Cawthon's work. You'd have realized this if your detection methods actually worked even if you purchased it from someone else.
It's a copyright infringement detection, not a fraud detection.
Basically I can't do anything if someone tries to illegally scam me.
But blatant copyright infringement is visible by examining the copyright notice embedded in the work. Guess how many copyright notices scott cawthon's work had?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Cause you're like fuckin' high bro
Do you think Tero will copyright maximalist his life if he's told that copyright will add another 70 years for him on top of his life?
Once you learn to pass your copyrighted works to a real publisher, as a reward they will pass along copyright maximalist principles. It's a small book similar to mao's blue book, containing all the communist propaganda you'll ever need. Once you read it, you'll learn what you have been lacking in the early years of your life. But first you need to create some copyrighted works that are worthy of publisher's attention.
What you've done is the equivalent of creating a toilet that doesn't flush and instead dumps raw sewage over anyone who walks by, and then demands to be paid for the raw sewage you threw over everyone.
We call it sludge. It's our name for the coffee that some restaurants offer after they didn't have any customers visiting for the whole day, and instead of making new pan of coffee for customers, they offer the sludge that was on the pan from 9am... Usually the owners of the restaurant wouldn't drink that coffee themselves...
But meshpage has several techniques designed to avoid giving customers sludge or "sumppi" (in finnish)... First, we actually worked hard for the features that are available. Second, we ensured that all available features are working correctly. and third, we're offering our product for free for customers.
> blender who keeps constantly claiming that their software is used by large community
Yes, they do so because they're not copyright trolls like you.
You didn't understand it properly. The above statement is equivalent of claiming copyright ownership of whatever the community created for them. For blender, it's just alot more serious claim because they have large community and when they claim copyright of whatever the community created, they're actually claiming ownership of real products created using blender.
With meshpage, it's completely different story since the users never created anything worthwhile with the tools, so there's nothing available to claim copyright ownership of. It's difficult to extract value from nothing.
Re: Re: The proof that copyright maximalist practices are workin
I don't see a reasonable connection between taking down a rebroadcasting system and taxing links.
Both of them have aspect of "some author was denied compensation" and "the system is trying to restore that compensation opportunity".
Basically pirated iptv channels are taking away compensation from the original programming by broadcasting the content without permission. The link tax has people who wrote tons of news articles, but then news cloning services took that content and ran with it, denying compensation from the original journalists.
You know, just in case people needed more reasons to not use Meshpage; you explicitly admit that you intend to claim the copyright on everything made with it.
If blender can get away with doing that stuff, why would meshpage not being allowed the same priviledges? Are you trying to place meshpage to lower level than blender in the colonialistic leveling? Basically you have no reason why blender is able to do this operation, but meshpage is not allowed to do it too...
The fact that meshpage has not yet done it is a testament that meshpage is actually better than blender who keeps constantly claiming that their software is used by large community and its all because of blender is so great software.
