I’m just starting to realise how fucked up Denmark is.

Right?
What the fuck, Denmark?

Damn, this is seriously fucked up and dystopian.
You shoot a movie, why cannot I share my favourite scenes with other people?

Same reason you can’t turn someone’s social media photos into a porno mag for sexual gratification. It’s unethical and exploitative.

A film is wildly different from somebody’s social media posts

In Denmark, the “right of integrity means that even in cases where you are allowed to make use of a work, you are not allowed to change it or use it in a way or in a context that infringes the author’s literary or artistic reputation or uniqueness,” a resource for Danish researchers noted.
Infringes reputation is so sooo broad. It comes down to who does the judge like the most, no?

Seems like this was based on the people whose images were being exploited complaining to the court, so their view of what infringes their reputation.
jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah, it also seems weird cause things like remakes, parodies, trailers, etc. all would technically violate that law.

Do you even know if that’s true for Denmark? It is in the US, but I doubt it is, globally.

Except a remake would not use the original actor’s image, a trailer is part of marketing the actor agreed to, and parodies are covered by fair use.

Someone once explained it to me.
Some poeple think the law should describe illegal behaviour. And that the law should apply the same to everyone.
But what happens in practice is that most people just want to be able to punish people they don’t like. So they don’t mind overly broad, generic laws, as in their mind it will only be used against the other.
And in practice the selective enforcement works for a long, long time, too. Untill a shift of power occurs, and now the same laws are enacted just as selectively, but directed differently. Then they surprise pikachu.

Ohmagerd! Which actresses nude scenes was he sharing so I can make sure I don’t share them?

From the TorrentFreak article referenced by Ars Techina (torrentfreak.com/redditor-convicted-for-sharing-n…):
The prosecution successfully argued that by taking scenes out of their original artistic context and sexualizing them, the defendant violated the integrity of the actors and directors…
One scene featured actress Signe Egholm Olsen in ‘Nordkraft’

If you’re serious, Reddit had/has an extreme fixation for clipping scenes with Alexandra Daddario, Jennifer Lawrence, Megan Fox, Sydney Sweeney, and Ana De Armas.
They’d get posted to /r/celebs and watch it for the plot.

the subreddit ThatTrueDetectiveSceneWithAlexandraDaddario was peak reddit times.
Scrollone@feddit.it 4 months ago
Yeah but this was on a Danish subreddit, focusing on Danish actresses.
I bet there was a lot of delicious content, but the sub has been banned.

I’d assume they’re danish actors based on the article

What the fuck is this stupid law? An actress can consent to film a nude scene, but if you share the scene she filmed for you to watch, you’ve somehow violated her moral rights?
