    You could have gone to the Pirate Bay, or literally any major community of BitTorrent pirates or filesharers.
    These are too close to home and thus overlaps badly with the area where symbian phones are available. 2nd requirement for choosing techdirt for trolling was that it's outside of the scope where symbian has influence. Otherwise I'll be just repeating my own pattern with a repeat.
    Techdirt, at best, writes commentaries on copyright. Which is entirely legal.
    But, at worst, techdirt encourages pirates to continue their bad practices since they found acceptance to the illegal practices from the internet.

    You’re an adult, who you have claimed multiple times is unsuitable for your software, because you think all adults are too close-minded and idiotic to use it.
    You don't understand that the authors of the material has some priviledges that are not available to the rest of the world. Copyright law calls them "exclusive operations reserved for the copyright owner", and this gives authors significant amount of power over the rest of the population. So the rules that govern your ass are not suitable to control me (as an author of meshpage).

    even if the artists win their lawsuits, all it does is reduce the training pool for the AI.
    Yes, but if this is not a big deal, why did the AI companies need to go to the piracy area? If they could just use the expensive practice of obtaining the licenses to the material that they use to train their AI, and that's somehow working approach, why are these companies now at the receiving end of artist's lawsuit fury? They should just stop illegal practices and all is ok.

    Yes, that’s why you don’t deserve to be more successful. $58 over ten years is what the market has decided you’re worth.
    So becoming criminal is your solution of how to get further from the $58 trap? I always knew that piracy and dealing drugs is profitable business, but is those evil practices now necessary to get living for your family?

    Let’s enjoy this event, and worry about AI influence where it actually has some meaning other than to attack the people trying to raise awareness about issues you are on the wrong side of.
    Happily I'm not on the wrong side of the argument. Instead I have explicitly rejected developing AI technology because of its impossible-to-solve copyright issues. Some years ago, there was a decision point where it was possible to start developing AI technology. I decided to reject the tech because of its unresolved copyright issues. Had I went that direction, I could be one of the targets for the recent lawsuits that are comparing AI tech startups to illegal napster (as opposed to spotify which obtained the license deals for the content)... Smaller entities like myself simply have impossible task of obtaining the necessary funds to purchase copyright licenses of millions of images. Thus the AI tech is better left for larger entities to handle. Now it seems that only criminals were interested. But of course your public domain compo is involved, because both sides of the copyright equation need to be considered at the same time. When tech developers do not care about other people's copyrights, then copyright duration needs to be increased. So when AI folks are running wildly with getty's images copyrights, then it could be that mickey mouse never sees its expiration date. My tech development has been timed correctly. When mickey mouse disappears from copyright, I need to have better animation technology available to replace it. You have seen meshpage's technology, it has been designed to replace mickey mouse from the marketplace once the market explodes due to mickey copyright expiration. Your competition on public domain works remind me that there's a deadline available that should not be missed. After 10 years of development, missing the mickey mouse deadline could be death blow to the tech I've been developing.

    There's actually 2nd lawsuit: https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/17/23558516/ai-art-copyright-stable-diffusion-getty-images-lawsuit Looks like the AI image generators are not very nice to artist's copyrights...

    Now it's https://stablediffusionlitigation.com/pdf/00201/1-1-stable-diffusion-complaint.pdf artists that are angry. No need to bring in RIAA/MPAA to the party.

    he cut off access to other users when those other users started telling him how reality worked…
    misuse of the provided services is a serious matter, which always requires a proper response. Open Source was always too idealistic, when their idea is that source code is used for something useful instead of just bashing the work that people are doing. When their best bug report deals with indentation, there's not much reason to keep source code available.

    No, what you’ve put up is bullshit, so that’s not a surprise.
    You're again doing it wrong. You shouldn't blame me for stuff that is clearly github's responsibility. More accuracy in your statements is clearly needed.

    I highly doubt that Finland is the empty hellscape you want to paint it as, but again – you chose to isolate yourself at 15km away from your nearest neighbors.
    You should visit lapland sometime. Think of the peace and quiet of not having to worry about your neighbour without 15km of travel. The mosquitos are bad, but otherwise it's like living in a forest. (except trees actually don't grow there since it's too cold).

    “you’re wrong. Its just difficult to figure out where/how exactly they are violating the law.”
    Sour grapes at any cost.
    I don't think you understand how the process works when people are trying to properly follow copyright's rules. It's actually difficult activity since tech developers are not copyright or law experts, and still they need to implement their tech using onerous copyright rules. And those rules can blow to your face at any given time. But if the people who genuinely try to implement the rules properly have problems getting good result, how an earth is it going to work for people who didn't even try to do it properly? You're generally in that group which will have the biggest problems getting copyrights implemented.

    If this was all you needed to make a lot of money, you wouldn’t be here complaining that you haven’t.
    I can explain the reason's why I'm here 1) I got some copyright bonus points from creating 150 million phones 2) I wanted to help the world 3) I looked the internet, trying to find biggest copyright problems 4) and tadaa.. TechDirt seemed to have the most copyright problems in the world that I could find 5) so I decided to help them to do the correct thing recarding copyrights 6) so I tried to troll some valid copyright bits to your direction, so that you'd feel the wrath of RIAA/MPAA 7) and this trolling gave you information how copyrights need to be handled. It's your own issue if you reject the information given to you 8) I've done my world-helping business. Now I feel like bill gates giving money to charity

    users are unlikely to start modding defunct phones
    Noone said it needs to be modding old phones. That's your own invention. I'm talking about using the same font size in web development for example.

    Thanks for confirming once again that you can’t stand having to share the planet with another human.
    I already rejected all humans when I was 15 years old. Gadgets are much more pleasant to work with. I haven't yet heard a gadget argue irrelevant bullshit like you keep doing all the time.

    And yet, they’re getting paid for it while you’re here doing nothing but whine.
    If they're accepting money for the work, but still are unable to get the work done, isn't that fraud?

    This is about the sheer disregard you have for human life in your pursuit of endless copyright.
    I didn't write the law. But I also do not ignore the rules that it enforces.
    It might surprise you, but people tend not to be sympathetic to assholes.
    So, now following the law as it's been given to us by the legal eagles makes us assholes... All the ordinary people need to be criminals?

    It’s for high-school level children.
    Who you still haven’t tested Meshpage on.
    I have tested meshpage on ludumdare now 11 times: https://tpgames.org/games_list.png You can consider that as a proof that high-school level children has tested the engine. So you have two alternatives, either you declare that ludumdare is unsuitable for high-school level children, or you need to admit that meshpage/gameapi has been tested with such kids.

    considering that your “common practices” include suing the innocent and harvesting their organs.
    You missed the part where I leave the dirty work to be done by the president.

    You have no friends, Tero. You hate other humans.
    Either I have friends or you need to admit that I implemented the cool graphics for the game. It simply cannot happen without someone actually drawing the sprites.

    150 million users of a phone OS that hasn’t been in use for a decade are suddenly going to start modding and developing for a dead, unsupported system.
    When the system's impact is that large, its impossible that the activity that people do with the devices, do not leave some impact to the world. Every popular system has that property, not just our devices. We can only hope that the impact actually helps people and not cause damage, but it is guaranteed that impact still exists. Even if people just remember what style of font was used in the device and use web technologies to create a website that looks similar, it's already an impact. And that's just one guy doing it, what happens when 150 million people do similar kind of things.
