This seems particularly preposterous in products that need parts replaced because of wear and tear (ie: cars). Just let me replace them at my trusty little mechanic/repair shop in the neighborhood.
So they arrived at the conclusion that digital sales are good for them at least a decade late. And our "you wouldn't download a car" jokes are about to get pretty real with 3D printing and IP.
I'm guessing games would be one of the things they would try their best not to mess with. Still, it's good to see that good for almost nothing ESA doing something that helps. I do think this is some sort of slam dunk case and the FCC is going to lose badly but until we get there there's much damage to be done.
We have to acknowledge they are one of the oldest in the business where Righthavens and Prendas of the world have already fallen. Something is telling me to grab my popcorns because the climax is approaching once again. Fiery deaths on the horizon.
If the big copyright morons out there had their ways every time they'd be fighting to scale back a lot of those things. Sometimes I wonder if we shouldn't just let them produce their copyright swords and turn those swords mercilessly against them.
So over 40k people had their lives destroyed by law enforcement misconduct. I say law enforcement because these labs aren't the only flawed things sending innocents to jail.
But even with all this damage it's good this is happening. It's a very good counter argument against things like "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear. You actually have plenty to fear because you can be arrested and convicted at the whims of some corrupt law enforcement agents.
So it would be pure comedy if it wasn't depressingly tragic.
Zucky knows where he is threading, he played well. And if you think that Facebook can both handle SESTA (deep pockets and all) and use this momentum to lock itself into the dominant position by driving morons.. I mean, politicians and clueless people into demanding and enacting more bad laws that it could deal with like SESTA...
Re: No, CDA UnConstitutional exempting certain corps from liability.
Actually CDA 230 acknowledges the inherent differences between paper or even digital content that's produced directly by the ones publishing it (completely controllable and relatively low volume) and user generated content (gargantuan volumes and virtually uncontrollable before it's online). But of course you wouldn't recognize that difference. Do you believe in fairies and that unicorn power can magically filter bad content out as well?
"It's fully Constitutional"
No, it isn't. The ex facto provision makes it unconstitutional.
"it's making all corps in the area of Publishing equal AS BEFORE"
They were never equal. It's just that in the beginning the volume of user generated content was much lower and could be dealt with.
"But Techdirt favors the surveillance"
You are the one favoring surveillance and control because this will actually screw the users and concentrate the power on the few players that have the pockets to bear the burden of this shitty law.
"Doesn't even bother Techdirt to be in the 6% that appear in favor of prostitution, especially of slaves and children."
Ever heard of defamation? Or do you have evidence of what you are saying? Because I think you are in the 23%* that couldn't care less about children or sex traffic victims as long as your own ego is massaged enough.
*64,3% of all percentages are made on the fly by the way.
Of course one has to question why humanity has such a problem with penises and vaginas.
In any case I think we should stop putting content removal in the hands of specific people or algorithms. I'd like to see a decentralized effort where if people enough flagged a determined content it would issue a warning that it was severely flagged but still be visible and after a very high threshold it would be enabled for review by actual humans and possibly removed. Not a perfect system but at least better than what we have now. One can dream, no?
Copyright infringement is easy to identify they said. It's obvious to any moron in a hurry they said. Nine years of obvious and easy identification and counting.
While I'm sympathetic towards people that lost their loved ones in such events or that underwent the trauma of being involved in terroristic acts, these people that sue non-parties come out looking like greedy money-grabbing assholes.
I'm not sure the paying part is forbidden from participating. I can't recall any specific case but I have the impression there are producers that take part in their productions. I'd guess it's something that's going to be filmed and commercialized or exposed some way. But I could be wrong because I have no clue about regulations on the porn industry.
Sesta is clearly unconstitutional due to the ex facto provision but could it still go into the books without that specific provision? I mean, lawsuits questioning if it is constitutional would strike down the entire thing or just that provision?
Specially when you remember things like that stealthy zombie supercookie from Verizon. Too much hypocrisy in just one sentence. I will have to replace my meter for something with logarithmic scale.
