you're once again assuming that your "bleeding edge" tech has a use case outside of your single-minded cult of copyright
meshpage offers nothing that other programs can't do better - except the one thing nobody but you cares about, which is your "I have to please my copyright gods or they'll kill me" anti-input measures
nobody will want to use an intentionally broken piece of software to do only a fraction of what they can already do with a fully functional application
nobody is using your tech because nobody needs your tech - they're all fine with the tech they've got, and yours offers nothing they neither need nor want
if they're already using Blender, why the fuck would they out-of-the-blue switch to a program with fewer features, more restrictions on what they can do, worse output, and even less potential for customer service than what they’re already using that were all borne out of one sad cunt’s cult-like devotion to copyright
please seek professional help for your mental illnesses
no one outside of your copyright cult wants to use software that prevents them from so much as even trying to, say, create fanart - which is technically illegal under the most maximalist reading of copyright law
your refusal to understand other people and how they work and play is your problem, not theirs
your shit isn't "bleeding edge" if it isn't offering something that people want or need from their tech - and meshpage offers nothing that even people who dick around part-time with Source Filmmaker can't already do (and do better) with their favored programs
that's why nobody's using meshpage
that's why nobody's pirating meshpage
and that's why you can't threaten people with lawsuits and make them pay you to go away
lmao you are so awful that you make me look relatively adjusted and sane in comparison
manually checking all the content against problems in the area
literally impossible; you can't check against every known copyrighted work in the world and prevent all copyright infringement without actual goddamn supernatural magic
hell, you can't even stop your own accidental infringement, which you could've (and should've) done by checking the copyrights on that FNAF model yourself
and if you can't do that, you sure as hell won't be able to account for Fair Use infringement
if Denuvo can be cracked, someone can crack your shit to pirate it
but no one wants to pirate your shit
and no one is, by your own admission
which means no one is infringing your copyright, which means you have no standing to sue anyone, which means you can’t make anyone give you money by threatening to sue them
When people abuse their rights to cause other people harm, that’s when they need to face actual legal consequences. So far, Ness seems to have faced none.
Has she broken a law that has withstood legal scrutiny? If she has, I agree—consequences all around, spare no expense, she fucked around and needs to find out. But if she hasn’t, she shouldn’t face those consequences. I agree that her behavior is awful; that alone can’t justify violating her civil rights.
Would it really “piss all over the First Amendment” if some bigoted slimeball who has engaged in this lengthy targeted fear-stoking campaign against the local Muslim community faced legal punishment?
Yes. Unless her speech and actions have crossed a line into illegality under a law that is constitutionally sound, she has the same rights under the First Amendment that you and I both share. I don’t have to like that fact to accept it.
The Muslim community’s First Amendment freedom to exercise their religion and their general freedom to go about their daily lives without fear seems to matter less to you than some racist turd’s ability to constantly surveil and record them and write a paranoid blog to spread mistrust of said community.
I hate that the Muslims in that community can’t feel safe because of Sally Ness. I hate how nothing can apparently be done about it within the confines of the law. Nothing about this situation makes me happy—especially her victory in court.
That said: I can’t justify a legal punishment against her if she didn’t break a law that withstands legal scrutiny. Maybe Bloomington officials can come up with a law/statute that withstands that scrutiny and lets the city punish Ness for her bullshit. I hope they do. But until then, she isn’t flagrantly breaking any laws, and they can’t punish her only for being a shitty human being.
if a private citizen decides to constantly blog and photograph and record the daily goings-on of a Muslim American community over the course of years? Guess that’s something that deserves to be protected to the death
You believe it’s fine for bigots to use their First Amendment rights to help deprive others of the ability to feel safe, to actually be safe, and accepted in this country.
No, I don’t. I think what Ness does is some sick sociopathic shit, and I wouldn’t feel the least bit bad for her if someone popped her in the mouth Richard Spencer–style for doing what she does. (I neither endorse nor condone such behavior, but I sure as shit won’t condemn it.) But legally, she has the right to say and do what she does. I’ll condemn her speech and hope those who oppose her find a way to stop her that doesn’t piss all over the First Amendment. But I won’t agree that she deserves to have her right to speak freely stripped from her only because I disagree with what she says and does with it.
Sally Ness is a bigoted individual who knows exactly what she’s doing and doesn’t seem like she’s gonna tire out any time soon.
The First Amendment doesn’t care. Her speech, abhorrent and distasteful though it may be, still deserves (and receives) the same legal protection as yours. Free speech laws must protect unpopular speech or else such laws are worthless.
You're not liking what it takes to get software properly done in time for your consumption?
No, I’m pointing out how you…
claiming that your modeling software can outperform industry standard powerhouses like Blender when it can’t even come close to doing that;
saying that no one uses your program but it would still be a giant-killing industry slayer if they did;
changing who the potential audience for your software is from conversation to conversation;
continually referring to yourself with the plural pronoun “our” as if you’re part of a team despite admitting multiple times that you develop your shit on your own;
treating your cult-like religious adherence to copyright law as the most important possible thing to do with your software in any and every possible context;
not realizing that you violated someone else’s copyright despite promising that your software would prevent even you from doing that;
expressing a sincere omnicidal hatred for the rest of humanity;
admitting that you would sabotage your own software to prevent anyone else from using it in a way that makes sense to how they already use software like Blender;
talking about “teleporting” and all this other bullshit that makes no sense and has no relation to modern technological lingo/jargon/whatever;
admitting that you don’t even know what the fuck a meme is/can be; and
spending years of your life on a single-minded pursuit of having your government pay you shitloads of money and make you a mansion using public monies because you wrote a few lines of code that does something a WinAMP visualizer was able to do twenty years ago
…makes you sound like a sociopath with the early signs of dementia or some other similar mental health issue.
Protecting First Amendment-protected rights means protecting them even in “worst case scenarios”—like, say, going to bat for Amazon. The ACLU stood up for actual goddamned Nazis in the Skokie case; someone thinking Amazon should be free from government censorship isn’t that much worse a position to take.

If she has broken a law, I say punish her. If the law she is accused of breaking doesn’t withstand legal scrutiny, the government shouldn’t get to say “who cares” and punish her anyway. Trampling on everyone else’s rights to get at her throat will only cause more problems than it solves.
