Stop trying to justify censorship by using a line from a later-overturned Supreme Court ruling that itself justified government censorship of dissenting speech.
I have a question for you, Brainy Smurf: How do you reconcile your pro-copyright, anti-corporation, and anti-censorship stances when corporations use copyright as a form of censorship?
You're already scared what all children can do with the technology?
You might have a point here if any actual children were using it. But as you’ve admitted over and over and over and over and over again—for reasons I can’t possibly fathom, other than maybe a sense of self-hatred so strong that you receive sexual gratification from humiliating yourself in front of others—no one is using Meshpage. As for the rest of your bullshit, holy shit, you’re delusional as fuck and you seriously need to seek professional medical help for your obvious mental illness.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I generally like Liz Warren and what she stands for, but this is a boneheaded decision that reeks of the kind of authoritarianism I tend to associate with Republicans. She needs to take a few steps back from this situation and study the First Amendment again so she doesn’t make this mistake again.
Damn, that ruling looks like some good reading, judging from the quotes in this article.
I kinda figured this would be the end result, but I didn’t think a court would be this thorough in dismantling it. Let’s hope we don’t get a what-the-fuck decision from a higher court that ignores this ruling to give DeSantis and the cops a pat on the back.
legal system is kinda strange that when you win a legal case, you actually need to go to the infringer's house and beg for your money, and then once that fails, you send hound dogs and mafia to collect the money
Unlike the fantasy world in which you reside (you really should seek serious professional medical help about your delusions), in this reality, someone breaking the law to collect a legal settlement is still breaking the law and will (or at least should) be prosecuted for doing so. I know you’d love to kill the rest of humanity with your bare hands so you never have to deal with other people ever again, but that’s no excuse for believing you can use violence to legally make someone who owes you even the smallest amount of money pay up.
GameApi builder is very nicely working with this stuff, as long as you don't need to put the end result to the internet.
So…if someone built a game using this software, but they literally couldn’t show it to anyone else because you basically told them to go fuck themselves for the protection and glorification of the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful Copyright (hallowed be that high holy deity and its sacred-above-all law), you would seriously consider that a win for everyone involved?
Okay, and…so what? That still doesn’t make your software worth using—especially over programs considered to be industry standards. Come back when you’ve got a program that can outshine RPG Maker on the fucking PlayStation 1 and we’ll talk, you mentally deranged asshole.
Then I have no reason to consider your claim to be anything more than the deranged delusions of someone in severe need of professional mental health treatment.
Good luck with reading the file with anything other software than gameapi builder.
Reverse engineering is still a thing, bro. And even assuming that doesn’t happen, one of the reasons people save an output file in a format native to a given application is so they can open that file in that application on another computer. (That’s perfectly legal, too, in case you were about to flail around and say otherwise.) How th’fuck do you expect to prevent two different people using your application on two different computers from saving an output file that contains copyright infringing material and transferring it to the other’s computer without being God?
When builder doesnt have any users, all created files available on internet that was created using our proprietary file format are free of copyright problems.
You say this, but you yourself violated copyright using a program used by literally nobody else but you. How are you so bad at this.
[my] technology save files doesn't even store the actual content items. It just stores URL to the material, and the actual content needs to be in your own web server.
Then your shit is pointless. Someone may need to use a computer that is disconnected from the Internet; how can you expect them to access (or transfer) data from your program to that computer without using the Internet? This is the entire problem with your dumbassed “teleporting” bullshit: Not everyone uses programs and transfers data in the same way as you do (or you want them to do), but instead of accounting for how actual people in actual reality actually do things and adjusting how your program works in accordance with that knowledge, you basically tell everyone “fuck you, do it my way or you’re an idiot who can’t understand my better-than-everyone-else-and-you-know-it brilliance” and demand they do it your way.
the save files are not really able to do copyright infringement
…says the guy who claims one of his programs can automagically prevent all copyright infringement but still managed to accidentally infringe upon a copyright while using that program.
the file format for save files is ascii
then your format is open as all hell and could be reverse engineered by enough people doing enough work over enough time
you think it can’t happen, but people did that shit for Grand Theft Auto games, and those are far more complex than your shitty-ass Meshpage program, so quit thinking you’re invincible
No, I am not. And if you can’t explain your concepts to someone at their level, why the actual fuck should they have to do the work necessary to come to yours when they can simply ignore you?
You’re not that good at communicating ideas unless you can communicate the same idea in five different levels of difficulty. (Here’s an example.) When you’re willing to explain on a level that I can understand, I’ll listen. If you’re unwilling or unable to do so, that’s your problem.
And yet, by allowing people to save their output to a file format, you’re risking the possibility of them sharing a potentially copyright-infringing file with others. You keep saying your software can (or will be able to) magically detect and prevent all instances of copyright infringement. But if someone manages to sneak something past your oh-so-flawless system (like you were able to do without even knowing you did!), how do you plan to stop them from sharing that something without preventing them from saving their output in a way that can be shared?

Two things.

Three things.
Copyright can and has been used to stifle legitimate speech; Techdirt has plenty of stories about that.
I never asked “how often”, I asked “what specific opinions”.

The same could be said of Meshpage, only to a far greater extent.
oh my god no wonder Meshpage sucks, you're designing it for hella outdated technology
oh my god, seriously, why would you ever fucking admit that
