Yes. Your content and tech. Thanks to laws like these. Not to someone else’s.
Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal

Oh hi Disney. Here to shut down another daycare for having a picture of Mickey Mouse?
I have full rights to do whatever the fuck I want with content and tech. If I want to make Daffy Duck solve a mystery with Cheech in Victorian England with Genghis Khan as the chief of Scotland yard and Fred Rodgers as the bad guy I am free to do so. If I buy a machine I can take apart all of it, reverse engineer it, modify it, and comment on it on YouTube.

Yes my content and my tech. It is physically in my possession it is mine. If you take a picture of it congrats that picture is your picture. What part is confusing you exactly?
Did I see a sportsball event? I can talk about it to whom I want when I want.
Did I buy a physical book? I can take as many photos of it as I want.
Did I buy a cell phone? I can take apart it, modify it, reverse engineer it, benchmark it, and review it.
Now answer my question if you plan to go after another Daycare, Disney. No more evasions

Sure.
Did I buy a physical book? I can take as many photos of it as I want.
Nope. You can’t, for example, take a picture of all the pages and then redistribute those.

Only if you tell me whether or not you stopped beating your wife.

I initially thought you were ignorant of how copyright law works, but now I see you’re just wilfully delusional.
afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Sure.
Oh really? For someone bragging about their knowledge of copyright law I am surprised yo do know about the MLB copyright warning.
pages and then redistribute those
I can too.
Only if you tell me whether or not you stopped beating your wife.
What you are shilling for free for them on the weekend? Jesus.
initially thought you were ignorant of the core principle of intellectual property, but now I see you’re just wilfully delusional.
And I originally thought Disney was paying you but you are apparently giving it to corporate for free.

There are people who think that something being official law is automatically legal. It’s a bit inconvenient that Nazi Germany is the first example that comes to mind to explain why they are wrong.

It’s a moral ought from an is. Informal logical fallacy.
Something is illegal therefore it is immoral.
No, those are two different facts. Perhaps in a better world there would be a lot of overlap between those two but in the world we live in it is not a given or even likely.

No, it’s another distinction. Three different things. Something legal can be moral or not. Something made law can be legal or not. For example, if it’s forced in some way so that formally you couldn’t prevent it becoming law, but it’s still illegal, it’s still illegal.
Which is, other than copyright except for protecting the fact of authorship, why all censorship and surveillance is illegal, and, say, why Armenia legally includes Van, Erzurum, Nakhijevan etc, and the fact that Wilson’s mediation and French mandate have been buried by force just means that Cilicia and Melitene are as well.
Restoring law and order takes effort, though.
