#WASM / #WASI based #plugin architectures vs #AGPL?

I assume this is valid, but #IANAL and unsure if it is indeed the case:

- If the core system is AGPL-licensed and integrates a Wasm WASI runtime.
- Then 3rd-party WASI Components can have different licenses.
- Esp. when they are downloaded and installed at run-time.

OTOH perhaps not.. and it depends on who designed the #WIT #RPC interface, and what its #license is.

Aber #IANAL. 🤷

#IANAL but this looks like a #criminal offence under the various #DataProtection legislation

that data has been processed, possibly without the right of access to it for the purpose, and that it has been processed incorrectly - wrong data has been recorded, or kept, or a decision based on data has been incorrectly taken.

And it has clearly caused harm but that would be the #civil case, probably in #negligence.

Otherwise, would you put your trust on someone you haven't truly vetted yourself personally that they truly won't exercise their Moral Rights in case they came from a country were Moral Rights are heavily guarded by their Copyright Law? #IANAL and #TINLA

I still don't understand how NFT "ownership" works as far as #Copyright laws are concerned. First thing we need to understand is that most countries do not allow relinquishing/transferring an author's Moral Rights. So, if you buy NFT arts, the author still have complete Moral Rights. #IANAL #TINLA

That would seem to 'deserve' if proven a fine not more than £5000 (possibly per person). Surely that doesn't require being held in custody. #IANAL

I guess this isn't a fully done deal, though it *sounds* to me like it's not the amount that's being questioned, but the process, so it'll probably go through? #IANAL

If this is in the US I believe it is illegal to ask this on a job application. #IANAL

BONUS!

"Contribution to Collective Work. - When an author contributes to a collective work, his right to have his contribution attributed to him is deemed waived unless he expressly reserves it."

Like in open-source projects where the author is a contributor.

For example. If I contribute to an open-source project, eomy right to be attributed for that contribution is deemed waived in the absence of a License notice. It's just automatic. If I mention that my contribution is under a FLOSS/FOSS license, then the license's attribution requirement is followed.

This is different if the author is literally the creator and the one who chose the license for that project. So, if I choose a public domain equivalent license for my project, and later there were other contributors, since I am the creator, I cannot waive my Moral Right to be attributed since it's an inalienable right under Philippine law. In short, I am not a contributor even though it is a collective work, I am the creator of that collective work.

Again! 👉🏽 #IANAL #TINLA

In addition, I learned this a few days ago:

1. since Attribution is under Moral Rights, and
2. only the Author/Creator is granted Moral Rights, and
3. an Author/Creator is defined as a natural person, then

it is mandatory for works to be Attributed to the Author/Creator. If one gives attribution to a legal entity, it is considered misattribution and a violation of the Philippine Intellectual Property Law.

Unlike the US, the Philippines doesn't give an Attribution/Moral Rights to a legal entity. The legal entity can only receive Economic Rights, either through work-for-hire or transfer.

In other words:
- Attribution always belong to the Author/Creator and it is mandatory. (Moral Rights)
- Copyright ownership can be transferred or owned by a legal entity. (Economic Rights)

Strictly speaking:
❌ © YEAR Legal-entity.
✅ © YEAR Legal-entity · Created/made by Author(s).
✅ © YEAR Author(s) · Legal-entity.
✅ © YEAR Author(s).

It is also incorrect to write: © YEAR Group/Team. Because a group/team is not a natural person. It's better to write it as: © YEAR named authors and contributors. (Which then links to a page with names of authors and contributors.)

Wait?! These are wrong?
❌ © YEAR Legal-entity.
❌ © YEAR Group/Team.

Strictly speaking. Since Authors/Creators are not suing anyone for not giving them proper Attributions, the practice continues.

It is only in the US where a Legal-entity is granted the Moral Right to be Attributed as an Author/Creator despite them not a "natural person". 🤷🏽

(Which probably is the reason why those two formats are common, because everyone is trying to copy the USA without being aware it is only valid there.)

Again, don't confuse Moral Rights and Economic Rights.

Attribution is part of Moral Rights. Moral Rights are only granted to Authors/Creators. An Author/Creator is a "natural person", not an entity.

Economic Rights is transferrable (for example, Copyright and Licensing groups like FILSCAP) , and can also be acquired through work-for-hire (your employer). They are generally called the Rightsholder. They can be the Copyright owner but not the Author/Creator.

I learned today that because of the strong Moral Rights protection in the #Philippines , it is not possible for Authors/Creators (defined as "natural persons" by law) to dedicate/release their work to the #PublicDomain .

And even if we use 0BSD, MIT-0, CC0, and other similar public-domain-equivalent licenses, we can still sue anyone who:

1. Misused our name
2. Misrepresented us
3. Misused our work (downstream)

All under Moral Rights because we can never waived it under Philippine law. Even with a promise not to sue anyone is not a guarantee.

So, saying, "This work is under 0BSD/MIT-0/CC0 and I will never sue anyone for whatever reason", won't work under Philippine law. The Creator/Author will always have their Moral Rights as the creator/author of the work. It's completely up to you to trust that they will fulfill their promise. 🤪

@accudio "I published my Tweetback archive online with robots disallowed so it wouldn't be indexed by search engines" makes me wonder how they found it in the first place? One issue may have been that Open Graph with the article URL uses their licensed image URL, while your archive created an unlicensed image copy. #IANAL

@bkastl „Kryptowährungen wie Bitcoin oder Ethereum seien jedoch nicht als "Sachen" im Sinne des Gesetzes anzusehen, da sie keine körperliche, physische Existenz haben. Es handele sich vielmehr um digitale Werte, genauer gesagt um Einträge in einer dezentralen Blockchain. Ein Entwenden im physischen Sinne sei bei diesen so begrifflich ausgeschlossen, was den Tatbestand des Diebstahls von vornherein ausscheiden lasse.“

Dementsprechend ist das Plündern einen normalen Aktiendepots auch kein Diebstahl. Das besteht ja auch nicht (mehr) aus Papieraktien, sondern nur um Einträge in der Datenbank meiner Bank, oder?

NFTs sind (eh) nicht bin-fungable - aber nun auch nicht vor Gericht?

Wenn öffentlich angekündigt wurde und nachweislich praktiziert wird, dass Anzeigen systematisch nicht bearbeitet werden, sollte es aber möglich sein, dagegen den Rechtsweg zu beschreiten.

Das braucht natürlich enorme Energie, Zeit und Geld sowie bestenfalls eine #NGO, die mit zieht, Kampagnenarbeit...

Naja, ich bin kein Anwalt und nicht direkt betroffen, aber so etwas würde ich versuchen, aktiv zu bekämpfen...

If you hold a middle finger to the screen while accepting a ToS, EULA or a other from of contract that contract is not enforceable should you break it.
It is a lawfare equivalent of “Tag! You're it!”
