The internet is a good place, and it is also a mess.
And then there is people use creative messages to bypass censorship, by “camouflaging” banned messages by using certain words or phrases that is allowed.
Just when you thought sites like NextGenUpdate and other sites requiring an account to even see content is bad enough, now it is happening on physical goods too.
They try to make books, even ones you bought physically, treated like you've licensed under contract law. This applies retroactively. Because the publishers are going digital, they also wanted their older books to also follow this trend. Essentially, they wanted to rewrite history that physical books you have are automatically “agreed” to the licensing agreement.
Tells me that they're “EA, book edition”. This is another example of going towards “subscription license” with many software (adobe creative cloud) over purchase.
When technology allows both piracy and new avenues for music, the copyright industry and any and all copyright maximalists will try to stop it.
“As we've discussed for many years, under the old label system, through which Henley grew up, you had record labels acting as gatekeepers. They, and they alone, chose who would be successful and who would not. The internet has obliterated that system. There's still a place for labels, but they don't control the gates anymore.”
“Of course, whenever that happens, the old guard complains. Not because it's actually harming music. But because it's a lessening of their exclusive power.”
Yeah, which is why the industry as a whole (not just music, movies (hello disney) and video games (hello EA, also fuck you for killing game studios)) try to buy out indies and small studios to regain this control. They see these works as a “replacement” of their industry and that consumers would rather ditch the gatekeepers and switch over to indies instead.
There is one counter-argument against the core reason to sue IA.
AAP sued the IA for the main reason is because those publishers and authors sees NEL as a lost sales when they're already in a tight financial situation due to corvid-19.
It was stated in their lawsuit letter that authors “needed to survive” on the paragraph talking about the “waitlist” restriction being removed.
To pirate, or customers not being able to buy books from the bookstore (because they were closed from the virus or locked at home) are both financial loss. How does the IA makes this financial loss worse? Imagine if the IA didn't run the NEL, the financial situation would be the same, if not, similar.
All other arguments to sue the IA was procrastinated till now. Those are true way back since CDL was created around 2011. I hope the judge doesn't suddenly change that to now be made illegal despite this act has been done in the past that the copyright holders were OK with it.
Very likely that not only contexts for fair use is needed, but also knowing where the content is from, sometimes that is “nested” which thinks the portions on the screen is also copyrighted. It can’t even tell if portions that are actually from public domain since it’s match-based.
Youtube is a wasteland where many youtubers risk their channels being wiped from false DMCA claims. Hell even artist themselves risk of a lawsuit for simply taking inspirations of an older song.
Plus, that sentence implies that you’re saying that things that can be fair use and other exemptions of the law should no longer be exempted from copyright protection. Which suggest you wanted copyright to have more power to restrict more harmless acts of using copyrighted materials.
“Not because I don't like parodies or satires of my work. But it's simply a violation of U.S. copyright law.”
Stop being a fucking loyalist. If you’re indifferent of unauthorized uses of work but the law prohibits it, then you’re enforcing against something for no reason just to be a copyright police.
Looks like the store is LOADED with trojan horses. Just like advertising on websites, policing to make sure they're compliant to TOS and laws is impossible.
