Sieg für YouTube: Warum Plattformen nicht für jeden Upload haften
Ein US-Urteil bestätigt, dass YouTube & Co. nicht proaktiv nach Urheberrechtsverletzungen suchen müssen. Das gilt auch, wenn sie fortschrittliche Filter nutzen.
Hit again: the Cyberpunk 2077 VR modder took a second DMCA strike, paused his Patreon and pulled access to all his mods after another publisher takedown — a huge blow to the VR modding community. #CyberpunkVR #DMCA

💥 The DMCA: far more than just a U.S. law! 🛡️🌍
Did you know that the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) has become a powerful global tool to fight content theft, digital abuse, and unlawful distribution? 📸🎶📄
In a borderless Internet, it remains one of the few fast and effective mechanisms to have stolen or abusive content removed—even when it is hosted abroad.

💥 La DMCA : bien plus qu’une loi américaine ! 🛡️
📸🎶📄 Dans un Internet sans frontières, cette loi reste l’un des rares outils efficaces et rapides pour faire retirer un contenu volé ou abusif — même quand il est hébergé à l’étranger.

#Cyberpunk2077 #VR Mod taken down by CD Project Red DMCA!
Or rather by huge #ego of the author
The guy made a #framework to convert normal game into VR. This framework is universal, but needs specific patches and configs for each supported game, that modify and interact with game files.
It's being held behind monthly #Patreon subscribtion.
CDPR #EULA doesn't allow mods to be paid, so they suggested he makes the CP77 configs free with optional #donations.
He refused, so they filed #DMCA
Tencent has filed a sweeping set of #DMCA complaints with #GitHub, leading to the removal of dozens of #opensource projects that enable users to export or analyze their own #WeChat chat histories.
“It's illegal to allow users to access their own data," wrote WeChat Clean’s developer, summarizing their interpretation of the complaint while announcing the shutdown of the project.

腾讯向GitHub发函，要求下架有关用户可以获取自己微信聊天记录的仓库。受此影响，WeChat Clean仓库的维护者无奈停止维护。

Curious how they will address provenance, licensing, & long-term preservation. Hope they ensure talks around blockchain/ tokenization emphasize governance, transparency, & avoid hype/ misuse.
Blackrock is striving to be leading digital asset manager by 2030, starting up tokenization services that turn traditional assets like ETFs/ property/ art into a token that can be traded, I'm worried about misuse due to investor involvement.
A recent video highlights a slew of plagiarized content on the site Medium. Is this a problem unique to Medium or something more universal?

@pluralistic This is a great idea!!!!! And something that people on the ground should most certainly consider to organize around, an opportunity to undo the DMCA is certainly worth pushing #copyright #DMCA #DMCA1201

Perishable Press: Google Broke My Heart. “Recently, I asked Google to remove a pirated copy of my book from their search index. As usual, I filled out the obligatory DMCA report and sent it in, hopeful that it was just a matter of time before the copyright infringement was dealt with by the trustworthy and very capable Google search team.
