Time Nickname Message
05:27 πŸ”— ersi amerrykan: What can I say, find ease in the stupidity
05:44 πŸ”— godane SketchCow: you going to get bbs programs in the 2401 to 2500 set of aol files
06:57 πŸ”— godane i have found digital.hagley.org site
06:57 πŸ”— godane i'm grabbing Nation's Business there
09:44 πŸ”— midas well poop. my upload went borked
14:19 πŸ”— schbirid anyone using syncthing? seems awesome and the "master repository" feature might be a great way to distribute "things"
19:40 πŸ”— sep332 ooh, bash has a remotely-exploitable vulnerability! ouch https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1207723 Patches are out
19:41 πŸ”— sep332 does that affect the version of bash in the warrior image?
19:46 πŸ”— balrog https://www.facebook.com/notes/william-szuch/uketube-has-been-deleted/10152950936644505 Ҁ” ouch
19:48 πŸ”— arkiver https://twitter.com/uketube/status/514447599014019072
19:48 πŸ”— arkiver well fuck
19:51 πŸ”— balrog multiple copyright allegations in 24 hours and the channel taken down permanently? I didn't think youtube did that
19:53 πŸ”— balrog (like, I thought they always warned first)\
19:56 πŸ”— sep332 It takes 3 "strikes" to get a channel deleted. to get a strike, the copyright owner has to send an actual legal request
19:57 πŸ”— sep332 so it's not a ContentID match or anything
19:57 πŸ”— sep332 https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2814000
19:57 πŸ”— sep332 says you can submit a counter-notification but i guess that doesn't help if your channel is already deleted?
19:58 πŸ”— balrog well, three strikes in too short of a time period should not terminate the account
19:58 πŸ”— balrog maybe three strikes a minimum of a week or at least a few days apart should
19:58 πŸ”— balrog if you read the facebook post it seems like this was over two videos
20:13 πŸ”— antomatic Two facebook pages which they say they downloaded from other sites... which could be the problem.
20:13 πŸ”— antomatic Two VIDEOS which on their facebook page they say... I should have said
20:14 πŸ”— antomatic But two videos = two strikes, not three
20:14 πŸ”— antomatic and that's at a maximum
20:16 πŸ”— aaaaaaaaa Could have had strikes in the past we don't know about.
20:17 πŸ”— antomatic true. strikes expire after 6 months if no more are received, but in that time, more strikes are bad news
20:18 πŸ”— antomatic The 'copyright school' video they used to make you watch was a special episode of Happy Tree Friends. They've updated it recently, now it's Glove & Boots. :)
20:19 πŸ”— antomatic although that's likely little comfort.
20:23 πŸ”— schbirid you never know what activists do to stir up media hype
20:23 πŸ”— schbirid maybe they just deleted it themselves
20:43 πŸ”— yipdw BASH
20:43 πŸ”— yipdw argh fucking
20:43 πŸ”— SmileyG kill?
20:43 πŸ”— yipdw I have to update 40 EC2 instances
20:43 πŸ”— vantec Could be worse. Could have to update 41 instances.
20:44 πŸ”— yipdw can we use this and heartbleed etc to put up a marketing website about why you should NOT trust any internet-of-shit-enabled device
20:44 πŸ”— yipdw wesuck.org
20:46 πŸ”— Kazzy zzz, i have 4 devices to update and I can't be bothered to ctrl+c a password
20:46 πŸ”— Kazzy have fun, guys
20:46 πŸ”— yipdw I don't have a password, it's an SSH key
20:47 πŸ”— yipdw doesn't make 40 updates less of a pain in the ass
20:51 πŸ”— xmc anyone want to be a video librarian in nyc? http://careers.lac-group.com/ts2__JobDetails?jobId=a0EA000000NuANFMA3&tSource=
20:52 πŸ”— xmc for a tv network it looks like
20:52 πŸ”— xmc maybe godane? :P
21:27 πŸ”— joepie91 balrog: arkiver:
21:28 πŸ”— joepie91 .tw https://twitter.com/joepie91/status/514888632826867714
21:28 πŸ”— botpie91 What @YouTube has done, is akin to a government burning down an entire library for carrying a copy of Mein Kampf. https://www.facebook.com/notes/william-szuch/uketube-has-been-deleted/10152950936644505 (@joepie91)
21:28 πŸ”— joepie91 the entire notion of taking down a channel for a number of 'strikes' is insane
21:29 πŸ”— BlueMaxim it really is
21:29 πŸ”— antomatic but to be fair... there are *lots* of people who royally abuse youtube and shove up stuff that is not theirs.
21:29 πŸ”— BlueMaxim the problem antomatic is that the current system is "guilty before proven innocent"
21:30 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: that does not justify deleting entire channels for strikes in any way, shape or form
21:30 πŸ”— joepie91 unless every single video has been determined to be infringing, and even then they should really not be doing more than they are absolutely legally required to
21:30 πŸ”— antomatic The channel won't be deleted, it'll still exist in the backend and YouTube can re-enable it once they've looked into it, though.
21:30 πŸ”— joepie91 and even for /that/ I hold them accountable
21:30 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: have you ever tried to contact youtube customer support
21:30 πŸ”— BlueMaxim I'm dealing with a strike right now from a guy who simply disagrees with the fact that I have bad opinions on his game
21:30 πŸ”— joepie91 the answer is: "what customer support?"
21:31 πŸ”— antomatic admittedly no, in my case I didn't have to
21:31 πŸ”— joepie91 I have
21:31 πŸ”— joepie91 there are /no/ contact details outside the standard forms.
21:31 πŸ”— joepie91 NONE.
21:31 πŸ”— antomatic In the case of a journalism-led channel which now has the eyes of the world on it - I'm sure they'll get sorted out just fine.
21:31 πŸ”— joepie91 they don't give you a form, you're fucked
21:31 πŸ”— joepie91 they give you the wrong form, you're fucked
21:31 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: so?
21:31 πŸ”— joepie91 because if it isn't a journalism-led channel with the eyes of the world on it, it's somehow suddenly okay?
21:32 πŸ”— joepie91 no, it's fucking not
21:32 πŸ”— joepie91 this kind of /policy/ shouldn't exist
21:32 πŸ”— joepie91 this isn't an /incident/, this is /policy/
21:32 πŸ”— antomatic not defending either side - but you can't run a website and just sit back and let people systematically abuse it
21:32 πŸ”— antomatic you have to do *something*. three-strikes is it.
21:32 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: "abuse" by whose standards?
21:32 πŸ”— joepie91 three strikes is in no way required by copyright law
21:32 πŸ”— antomatic It is _difficult_ to get the attention of three copyright holders (or one copyright holder three times) without doing something odd
21:32 πŸ”— joepie91 feel free to show me a law displaying otherwise
21:33 πŸ”— antomatic The Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
21:33 πŸ”— antomatic US websites must take down material that they are notified (under threat of perjury) to be infringing.
21:33 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: one video of mine has been flagged seven times by seven different media organizations(!) over the past years
21:33 πŸ”— joepie91 no, it's not difficult
21:33 πŸ”— antomatic takedown = copyright strike
21:33 πŸ”— BlueMaxim if they actually want to defend their own copyright
21:33 πŸ”— BlueMaxim they should be actively doing it
21:33 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: show me the /exact provision/ that requires a three strikes system
21:33 πŸ”— antomatic joepie91: flagged or TAKEN DOWN? big difference.
21:33 πŸ”— joepie91 a three strikes system is NOT the same as a takedown on report
21:33 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: both
21:34 πŸ”— joepie91 I eventually got tired of disputing the same fucking claim over and over again
21:34 πŸ”— antomatic There's language in the act which requires service providers to terminate the accounts of "repeat infringers"
21:34 πŸ”— antomatic ^
21:34 πŸ”— joepie91 okay, show me the exact provision
21:34 πŸ”— antomatic ^^
21:34 πŸ”— schbirid my hot neighbor brought me cookies!
21:34 πŸ”— antomatic I know it's not ideal, but if you can suggest something better, I'm sure everyone (YT and the copyright holders) would love to hear it.
21:35 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: show me the provision.
21:35 πŸ”— antomatic As I said, repeat infringers.
21:35 πŸ”— joepie91 ...
21:35 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: show me the /exact piece of the DMCA/ that mentions what you are talking about
21:35 πŸ”— joepie91 a direct link
21:35 πŸ”— joepie91 to the section that defines this
21:35 πŸ”— joepie91 an actual, proper reference
21:35 πŸ”— antomatic I'll go one better.
21:35 πŸ”— antomatic https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/01/dmca-copyright-policies-staying-safe-harbors-while
21:37 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: I do not see any reference in there to the specific section of the DMCA defining how repeat infringers should be handled
21:37 πŸ”— antomatic https://lawreview.uchicago.edu/sites/lawreview.uchicago.edu/files/uploads/73.4/73_4_Sawicki.pdf
21:37 πŸ”— antomatic 512(i)(1)(A)
21:38 πŸ”— * aaaaaaaaa high-fives schbirid
21:38 πŸ”— joepie91 "(A) has adopted and reasonably implemented, and informs subscribers and account holders of the service providerҀ™s system or network of, a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and account holders of the service providerҀ™s system or network who are repeat infringers; and"
21:39 πŸ”— joepie91 emphasis: "appropriate circumstances"
21:39 πŸ”— joepie91 this does not claim that a service provider must unconditionally terminate accounts of repeat infringers
21:39 πŸ”— joepie91 which is the claim you are making
21:40 πŸ”— joepie91 (also, you should probably read the PDFs you're Googling before linking them - the introduction starts with a blurb about how the term 'repeat infringer' isn't even clearly defined or established)
21:40 πŸ”— antomatic Deliberately so - for balance.
21:40 πŸ”— antomatic Like I say, there's wrong on both sides. But the thrust of the law obliges YT to do *something* so this is what they do.
21:40 πŸ”— joepie91 end result: 0 evidence that repeat infringer termination must unconditionally occur
21:40 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: and it is not a reasonable measure
21:41 πŸ”— schbirid aaaaaaaaa: AAAAAAAAAAAAA :D
21:41 πŸ”— joepie91 nor does the DMCA require it
21:41 πŸ”— joepie91 per above
21:41 πŸ”— antomatic that's a matter of opinion.
21:41 πŸ”— antomatic Google Inc clearly feel that it's sufficient to shield them under the DMCA
21:41 πŸ”— joepie91 ... no, that's a matter of reading the actual legal definition that I'd been asking you for
21:41 πŸ”— antomatic and that _has_ been tested.
21:41 πŸ”— antomatic YouTube vs Viacom, etc
21:41 πŸ”— joepie91 yes, the cautious option always works
21:41 πŸ”— joepie91 doesn't make it a reasonable option
21:41 πŸ”— joepie91 or a correct option
21:41 πŸ”— joepie91 or an ethically justifiable option
21:41 πŸ”— joepie91 and I will /keep/ holding them accountable for that
21:42 πŸ”— antomatic How would you do it differently, joepie?
21:42 πŸ”— joepie91 "but they are a business, they can't afford to blah blah blah"
21:42 πŸ”— joepie91 I don't care, if being a business makes them do ethically unjustifiable things, then they shouldn't have become a business
21:42 πŸ”— antomatic so you admit you have no solution?
21:42 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: did I say that anywhere?
21:43 πŸ”— joepie91 no, I fucking didn't
21:43 πŸ”— joepie91 have some damn patience
21:43 πŸ”— antomatic ok. Remember, I don't entirely disagree, we're just talking here. :)
21:44 πŸ”— joepie91 if a repeat infringer mechanism were to be required (which, by the way is ridiculous, but that's what the DMCA requires), then a good start would be the most minimal implementation that technically complies with the DMCA or can be construed to accomplish the spirit of the section in the DMCA
21:44 πŸ”— joepie91 for example, mark a repeat infringer as pre
21:44 πŸ”— joepie91 pre-screened *
21:44 πŸ”— joepie91 and or make them subject to auto-flagging of future uploads
21:45 πŸ”— antomatic Congratulations, you now require more staff than you can afford to run your business.
21:45 πŸ”— xmc christ you guys
21:45 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: 1) no, not necessarily, and I'm not sure where you're getting that idea 2) refer to my point about 'business' above
21:46 πŸ”— joepie91 "business" is not some kind of ethical carte blanche
21:46 πŸ”— joepie91 if your business model requires unethical things
21:46 πŸ”— joepie91 then guess what
21:46 πŸ”— joepie91 you are STILL doing unethical things
21:46 πŸ”— joepie91 because that business model was entirely your choice
21:46 πŸ”— antomatic Fine, so we'll run our video hosting websites on fresh air and unicorns instead, because we live in a magical land where money and time aren't factors any more.
21:46 πŸ”— joepie91 and I frankly get sick of people trying to use "but it's a business" or some variation thereof as a get-out-of-jail-free card
21:47 πŸ”— xmc businesses are like super-people
21:47 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: relevant: http://www.textfiles.com/thoughts/advertising.html
21:47 πŸ”— antomatic I'd be more impressed still if you could run anything like YouTube _without_ having some element of business backing it up
21:47 πŸ”— xmc they get all the rights of people but none of the punishments that people get
21:47 πŸ”— joepie91 specifically
21:47 πŸ”— joepie91 this section
21:47 πŸ”— joepie91 In some cases, I have recieved insulting, critical paragraphs from people who I've turned down, telling me to "get with it" and join the "real world".
21:47 πŸ”— joepie91 Indignation, to me, betrays a complete lack of understanding of the reason that websites were created in the first place: to provide content.
21:48 πŸ”— joepie91 which applies wholesale to the frankly ridiculous statement that you just made
21:48 πŸ”— joepie91 [23:47] <antomatic> I'd be more impressed still if you could run anything like YouTube _without_ having some element of business backing it up
21:48 πŸ”— joepie91 I certainly intend to try.
21:48 πŸ”— joepie91 I've been told a number of times that I can not run my shit without a business behind it
21:48 πŸ”— joepie91 every single time, said people have been wrong
21:48 πŸ”— joepie91 I think I may have some experience in the field
21:49 πŸ”— antomatic I will reiterate, I do not completely disagree with you, joepie - but I don't see how you can do this any better. If you can, you absolutely should and must, and I'll be there cheering you along every step of the way, without doubt.
21:49 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: the scenario that I just gave is perfectly possible
21:49 πŸ”— joepie91 will it align with business interests? possibly not
21:49 πŸ”— joepie91 does that free them from moral responsibility for the choices they made? fuck no
21:49 πŸ”— joepie91 and I will continue to hold them accountable for it
21:50 πŸ”— joepie91 loudly
21:50 πŸ”— yipdw I like it when people defend multinational corporations
21:50 πŸ”— yipdw it's really funny
21:50 πŸ”— antomatic Right now, DMCA says "YOU are liable for what you users do, EVEN IF you tell them not to, EVEN IF you don't know, UNLESS you have some policy about repeat offenders."
21:50 πŸ”— antomatic ^
21:50 πŸ”— yipdw it's like being an apologist for yakuza
21:50 πŸ”— joepie91 yes, and "some policy" is the key here
21:50 πŸ”— antomatic yes
21:50 πŸ”— joepie91 it's a MUCH wider concept than "you must terminate any repeat offender and baleet all their shit"
21:50 πŸ”— antomatic YT chooses three strikes.
21:50 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: yes, and I hold them accountable for that choice
21:50 πŸ”— joepie91 see above
21:51 πŸ”— joepie91 does that mean I am going to sit in a corner and complain, and not do anything? no
21:51 πŸ”— aaaaaaaaa xmc: as my grandpa says, "I'll trust a business the day it can go to jail or be beaten with a stick"
21:51 πŸ”— joepie91 but I am /still/ going to hold them accountable for it
21:51 πŸ”— antomatic Most times, three-strikers have been on borrowed time and deletion is appropriate. When it's not, they can undo it. Nothing gets deleted.
21:51 πŸ”— xmc aaaaaaaaa: pretty much
21:51 πŸ”— joepie91 whether I intend to try an alternative or not
21:51 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: that's wishful thinking at best
21:51 πŸ”— antomatic If not three strikes then how many? Six, ten, twelve, twenty-five?
21:51 πŸ”— antomatic that choice _will_ be tested in court
21:51 πŸ”— xmc joepie91: if you're going to run a video site, I'm interested.
21:52 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: it wasn't clear by now that I disagree with the delete-on-strikes concept in itself, and not with the AMOUNT of strikes?
21:52 πŸ”— joepie91 I'm honestly not sure how much more clearly I can word my position
21:52 πŸ”— joepie91 xmc: eventually
21:52 πŸ”— antomatic you still haven't said how you would do it better, just that you want and intend to
21:52 πŸ”— xmc cool
21:52 πŸ”— antomatic unless I missed it
21:52 πŸ”— antomatic hold on, let me scroll back
21:52 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: look for "1)" and "2)"
21:53 πŸ”— joepie91 and that's assuming DMCA is applicable to me to begin with
21:53 πŸ”— joepie91 contrary to popular belief, US laws do NOT apply worldwide
21:53 πŸ”— antomatic you say "the most minimal implementation that technically complies with the DMCA" but other than 'pre-screen their videos, auto-flag them' I see nothing else
21:54 πŸ”— antomatic Obviously if that pre-screrening means their videos go into a queue for which there is not enough staff to turn them around in a decent time...
21:54 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: enable auto-flagging
21:54 πŸ”— antomatic then that's not as equitable as it sounds
21:54 πŸ”— joepie91 that is; contentid-like systems are only applicable to known repeat offenders
21:54 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: what makes you think there is not enough staff?
21:54 πŸ”— antomatic hooray, you have flagged videos. And this does what, exactly.
21:54 πŸ”— joepie91 ....
21:55 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: are you just intentionally playing dumb or do you legitimately not understand how this relates to existing implementations of media fingerprinting technology and the subsequent takedown process
21:55 πŸ”— antomatic Bear in mind that contentid only for repeat offenders means that _everyone_ now becomes a repeat offender
21:55 πŸ”— xmc joepie91: hahaha, I can't tell you how many times I've had europeans email me and say I'm violating european law with my american website in america
21:56 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: .. no it doesn't?
21:56 πŸ”— antomatic And bear in mind too that contentID is actually good most of the time - it's the difference between "you can use our music in your video as long as we get paid" and "your video has our music and is now gone"
21:56 πŸ”— joepie91 ..
21:56 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: contentid is the identification technique
21:56 πŸ”— joepie91 whether media gets deleted or otherwise depends on the publisher settings
21:56 πŸ”— antomatic I know. I have lots of videos that have been (correctly) flagged by it
21:56 πŸ”— joepie91 also
21:56 πŸ”— joepie91 [23:56] <joepie91> antomatic: .. no it doesn't?
21:56 πŸ”— antomatic it's how my videos stay up and online, legitimately
21:57 πŸ”— joepie91 what does this have to do with what I'm talking about?
21:57 πŸ”— antomatic well you've decided that this useful technology is only for 'repeat infringers' on JoeTube.
21:58 πŸ”— antomatic So now no 'legit' use of copyrighted music is possible and the owners have to DMCA everyone who makes a use that would otherwise have been permissible
21:58 πŸ”— joepie91 wut?
21:58 πŸ”— joepie91 how does this follow from what I said?
21:59 πŸ”— joepie91 you seem to be making a /lot/ of assumptions there
21:59 πŸ”— yipdw shit it's like reading slashdot
21:59 πŸ”— joepie91 which is the fastest way to make me abort a discussion, by the way
21:59 πŸ”— joepie91 so don't do that
21:59 πŸ”— joepie91 if something is unclear, /ask/
21:59 πŸ”— antomatic It follows from where you said that your repeat infringers policy would put those people's video into a queue
22:00 πŸ”— joepie91 ....
22:00 πŸ”— joepie91 I suggested two possible methods
22:00 πŸ”— joepie91 one is pre-screening new uploads by repeat offenders
22:00 πŸ”— joepie91 the other one is making uploads by repeat offenders eligible for automatic flagging by a contentid-like system
22:01 πŸ”— joepie91 that says absolutely /nothing/ about what is to be done to said videos afterwards
22:01 πŸ”— antomatic that's nice but what is your policy - your DMCA-required policy, assuming you are are subject to US law of course - that provides for the *termination* of repeat infringers?
22:01 πŸ”— yipdw drone strike
22:02 πŸ”— antomatic DMCA says nothing about how you deal with people who get flagged now and again. DMCA wants you to _identify_ repeat infringers and _terminate_ them. How do you do that? Everything else is just masturbation.
22:02 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: termination applies to /infringers/
22:02 πŸ”— antomatic And you identify those people how?
22:02 πŸ”— joepie91 if an account chooses to show ads from a publisher or whatever, they are not infringing
22:02 πŸ”— schbirid you guys are wasting your time
22:03 πŸ”— joepie91 not to mention that the point isn't to follow the law by the word
22:03 πŸ”— joepie91 but in spirit
22:03 πŸ”— schbirid now watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1_h_LNCJ94
22:03 πŸ”— joepie91 tl;dr implement the above
22:03 πŸ”— joepie91 a repeat infringer policy
22:03 πŸ”— antomatic Yes, but we're not talking about that. The example here is a YT publisher who lost their channel due to three DMCA takedowns, not legitimate 'contentID' ads
22:03 πŸ”— joepie91 .............
22:03 πŸ”— joepie91 no, we're talking about a repeat infringer
22:03 πŸ”— joepie91 I just gave you suggestions for repeat infringers
22:03 πŸ”— antomatic A user of JoeTube has had three valid DMCA takedowns against them.
22:04 πŸ”— antomatic 1. Do you consider them to be a repeat infringer.
22:04 πŸ”— antomatic 2. If not, why not.
22:04 πŸ”— joepie91 and indicated that they are not termination, but still follow the spirit of the law
22:04 πŸ”— SmileyG schbirid: hah awesome
22:04 πŸ”— antomatic 3. What do you do?
22:04 πŸ”— joepie91 what is unclear about this
22:04 πŸ”— antomatic You suggested that repeat infringers have their videos flagged.
22:04 πŸ”— joepie91 1. replace three by 'a certain amount of', and the answer is yes
22:04 πŸ”— joepie91 2. n/a
22:04 πŸ”— antomatic Which is lovely but it doesn't address the DMCA requirement that you have a termination policy.
22:04 πŸ”— joepie91 3. see above
22:04 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: are you even reading what I say
22:04 πŸ”— antomatic So 'some number' of strikes, just not three?
22:04 πŸ”— antomatic I'm trying to, joepie.
22:05 πŸ”— antomatic And can I repeat that I'm not entirely against you here. I don't want to fall out about this, but it is an interesting discussion.
22:05 πŸ”— joepie91 perhaps caps are more useful; I AM NOT IMPLEMENTING A TERMINATION POLICY. I AM IMPLEMENTING A REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY THAT ACTS IN THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW. THAT'S THE POINT. FINDING THE MINIMUM ACTION NECESSARY THAT WOULD STILL BE VALIDATED IN COURT.
22:05 πŸ”— SmileyG configure: error: set ac_cv_file__dev_ptmx to yes/no in your CONFIG_SITE file when cross compiling
22:05 πŸ”— schbirid schtop schaying spirit!

22:05 πŸ”— antomatic Your repeat infringer policy must provide for the termination of repeat infringers, joepie. DMCA.

22:06 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: ... how do you still not understand what I am saying
22:06 πŸ”— joepie91 lowercase didn't work
22:06 πŸ”— joepie91 caps didn't work
22:06 πŸ”— joepie91 I literally responded to your point in multiple phrasings
22:06 πŸ”— joepie91 multiple cases
22:06 πŸ”— joepie91 how do I need to format it to get you to read and process it
22:06 πŸ”— antomatic Maybe I'm thick, Joepie, and if so I'm sorry.
22:06 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: the point ISN'T to comply with the fucking law word for word
22:07 πŸ”— joepie91 that is not the goal
22:07 πŸ”— joepie91 that is not the intention
22:07 πŸ”— antomatic I just don't see where your policy involves terminating someone, other than after 'a certain amount' of strikes
22:07 πŸ”— joepie91 I am aware that it does not comply with the letter of the law; that is the POINT
22:07 πŸ”— joepie91 THE. FUCKING. POINT.
22:07 πŸ”— joepie91 it DOESN'T TERMINATE PEOPLE.
22:07 πŸ”— joepie91 yipdw: 403
22:07 πŸ”— yipdw what
22:07 πŸ”— yipdw boo
22:07 πŸ”— yipdw maybe it requires some referer voodoo
22:07 πŸ”— joepie91 yadda yadda referers yadda yadda
22:08 πŸ”— antomatic So, that's great. But you can see how deciding not to comply with the letter of the law is perhaps a risk that Google and YouTube might prefer not to take.
22:08 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: yes, which is a point that I addressed almost at the beginning of this entire discussion
22:08 πŸ”— antomatic Look at the stick they get already, for what they *do* do.
22:08 πŸ”— joepie91 [23:42] <joepie91> "but they are a business, they can't afford to blah blah blah"
22:08 πŸ”— joepie91 [23:42] <joepie91> I don't care, if being a business makes them do ethically unjustifiable things, then they shouldn't have become a business
22:09 πŸ”— antomatic So the ethical approach is just not to comply with the letter of the law? Or just to be awkward and slippery? As I say, it's a fine risk to take, but it IS a risk, business or no.
22:09 πŸ”— antomatic Even as an individual such an approach risks losing your liberty.
22:09 πŸ”— joepie91 yes, it is a risk. yes, it is the ethical thing to do.
22:09 πŸ”— antomatic noted.
22:10 πŸ”— antomatic Now I see where you're coming from.
22:10 πŸ”— antomatic Thanks.
22:10 πŸ”— joepie91 right.
22:16 πŸ”— yipdw heheh something to really make antomatic's head explode
22:16 πŸ”— yipdw guess who else doesn't have a clearly accessible dmca termination policy
22:19 πŸ”— antomatic my head remains noiseless and intact. :)
22:19 πŸ”— yipdw tell me if you find that magical document on IA
22:20 πŸ”— antomatic DMCA doesn't say anything about the policy having to be accessible, just that there is one. :)
22:21 πŸ”— yipdw k
22:22 πŸ”— Jonimus plus IA has fair use abound.
22:22 πŸ”— joepie91 I'm trying to recall
22:22 πŸ”— aaaaaaaaa "Can I see your DMCA policy?" "Sure here it is." "Uh this page is blank." "No it's not; it's in invisible ink."
22:22 πŸ”— joepie91 I don't think the repeat offender clause was actually /used/ in cases against YT
22:29 πŸ”— antomatic "Viacom claimed YouTube did not reasonably implement its repeat infringer policy because of the way it counted strikes (e.g., it counted as only one strike a single take-down notice covering multiple videos, and it did not count as a strike content removed through use of the Audible Magic filtering tool). The court, however, disagreed ..."
22:30 πŸ”— joepie91 yeah, but I'm unclear on whether that's refering to the 'repeat infringer policy' requirement in the DMCA, or to *their* 'repeat infringer policy' specifically
22:30 πŸ”— antomatic "Congress intended to leave the requirements of the repeat infringer policy and the subsequent obligation of the service provider loosely defined. The court also noted that even DMCA-compliant notices did not in themselves provide evidence of blatant infringement. This decision suggests that companies have considerable latitude in adopting and implementing their repeat infringer policies."
22:30 πŸ”— joepie91 (which could have existed outside of the DMCA)
22:30 πŸ”— joepie91 aha
22:30 πŸ”— antomatic Mm, I think they mean their (i.e. YouTube's) policy
22:30 πŸ”— joepie91 the second paragraph seems to refer rather clearly to the DMCA-required policy
22:30 πŸ”— joepie91 but the first one is ambiguous
22:31 πŸ”— antomatic From http://www.perkinscoie.com/en/news-insights/youtube-obtains-summary-judgment-in-viacom-case.html
22:31 πŸ”— joepie91 but yeah, the second paragraph seeems to indicate that my suggestion of a "following the spirit, not the letter" implementation wouldn't even be as risky as I'd though
22:31 πŸ”— joepie91 thought *
22:31 πŸ”— joepie91 words are hard
22:32 πŸ”— antomatic Generally, the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA present a major hurdle for content owners like Viacom. Under the statute, a defendant "online service provider" is not liable for copyright infringement if, as a threshold matter, it implements a "repeat infringer" policy and "standard technical measures" to "identify or protect copyrighted works." YouTube easily meets both of these requirements.
22:32 πŸ”— antomatic Nevertheless, a service provider like YouTube may still be liable under the DMCA if it has "actual knowledge" that infringing material exists on the site or, under the "red flag knowledge" provision, is "aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent."
22:32 πŸ”— antomatic from http://jurist.org/forum/2012/05/olivier-sylvain-viacom-dmca.php
22:33 πŸ”— antomatic The argument there being that you can't say "we respond to all notices" and be completely shielded if you *know* that your site is a hotbed of piracy
22:37 πŸ”— antomatic right, bedtime.
22:38 πŸ”— antomatic (thanks joepie, genuinely interesting chat.)
22:54 πŸ”— joepie91 antomatic: night
