Ah, I didn’t hear that Valve did the take downs in waves.

Yet everyone initially confidently reported on who was to blame.

Is this why it appeared Steam only took down Incest and other spicy things?

“If you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t fear the wifi penetration.”
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 5 days ago:
Well, everyone discussing this seems to have been confused about it. Is it fucking PayPal and stripe or fucking Mastercard and visa?
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 6 days ago:
Crypto should want more regulation and they should want the public educated on why this makes crypto safe.
Crypto is already largely seen as a scam, one that many privately mess with, but this won’t help that perception.

Please see my edit. You’re correct. No one is entitled to someone else’s work.

They’re looking for people under 13 I assume.
In other words, I think that’s the diving line. So I don’t think 12 year olds are budgeting.

- Comment on As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes 1 week ago:
These companies will use the lowest possible bitrate with the newest possible codecs to balance quality and bandwidth. They will also default to a medium quality when it comes to picking audio quality.
I’d say they are doing their best already just to save bandwidth costs.

I do this location sharing with someone.
The only time it crosses my mind to check it is when they are coming to visit or we are otherwise traveling or meeting up.
I thankful for whatever makes it easy for me to just be chill about it.

Not in this ruling. A hoard of books or videos you didn’t pay for is still piracy. And the volume of it is a key factor when making this decision. At the scale these AI companies have been working, it’s flagrant.
