finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoIf you want anybody and everyone to be able to use everything you post for any purpose, right on, good for you, but don’t try to force your morality on others who rely on their writing and artworks to make a living to survive.

I’m gonna continue to use ad blockers and yt-dlp, and if you think I’m a criminal for doing so, I’m gonna say you don’t understand either technology or criminal law.

Thats a crime yeah and if Alphabet co wants to sue you for $1.34 damages then they have that right, just we should have the right to sue them if their AI crawlers male our site unusable and plagiarize our work to the effect of thousands of dollars.

So yeah, I stand by my statement that anyone thinks this is a crime, or should be a crime, has a poor understanding of either the technology or the law. In this case, even mentioning Alphabet suing for damages means that you don’t know the difference between criminal law and civil law.
That’s not a crime, and again reveals gaps in your knowledge on this topic.

That is actually a crime, you will get prison for DDoS in USA, UK, and EU. Presumably you will disappear if you do it in China.
