@Spingebill@Shlomo@Titanbreakerkun If we all had a toggle enabled SFW AI censor for the entire internet it would probably be great for everyone's mental health.
@coolboymew Unfortunately this is a problem as old as history, 1001 Arabian Nights was vastly changed and added to when it was brought to a European audience. The only solution other than a weeb billionaire who cares suddenly buying all the English distribution rights would be for the Japanese companies to do their own dubbing, but that's not likely unless the problem started to hurt their profits, and for better or worse anime is more popular than ever right now.
@Moon@feld@alex@mrsaturday President can't forgive any loans, courts shut Biden down on that already. You'll see bragging about forgiven loans but its for the disabled, long term federal employees, etc which was already provided for in law but had more paperwork to file and verification of eligibility. We're going to find out a few billion in student loans were wrongly forgiveness eventually.
@lain@Weeble@Moon@coolboymew They don't really have the state's blessing, it's just not worth the money and bad PR to sue them since they do very useful legitimate archival work as well that would have people rally behind them publicly. See their recent lawsuit from when book publishers that got mad that they started letting infinite people download "lent" books at one time. There was no legal merit to lending physical books out "digitally" (illegally scanned) to one person at a time either, but book publishers let it go until it was making an obvious impact on bottom line.
@clayvaulin@Weeble@lain@Moon@coolboymew Your point on value only matters for civil copyright infringement. Their purpose is commercial (Tax status as nonprofit isn't carte blanche) and falls under criminal, value of product is immaterial as there are statutory penalties that can be applied without that sort of consideration.
Reproducing a product while securing away the original for someone remains illegal even if you restrict the ownership to one person. There was a court case 10ish years ago I can't locate where there was an internet service that would let you stream cable over the internet for a locality of your choice. Customers paid the company a fee as well as for exclusive access to a cable line so no sharing or duplication occured. Was found to be illegal and shut down.
Don't get me wrong, I like Archive.org and OpenLibrary. They're just blatantly illegal in their practices.
@hj@meso Birds kept pooping on a guy's car in Bristol, England. He probably doesn't have any other parking options so I get it; I've seen people people chop down their trees for the same reason occasionally.
