You're viewing a single thread.
I dunno about you, but if I click a link and it says they're going to share my info with 164 'vendors', then only shows an "accept" button, they can fuck right off and I'll never go to their website again
It's 2024, that shit's illegal in the modern world
See that copyright at the bottom? That’s why we don’t do this.
This is how you get the relevant copyright holder to hit your lemmy instance with a DMCA takedown notice (or whatever the relevant jurisdiction’s legal equivalent is). I’m not saying I like it. I’m just saying that the Powers That Be will enforce that rule if they catch you, and it’s far less trouble for the people who are letting you use the server capacity of their lemmy instance if you just.. don’t post copyrighted material that they’ll get dinged for.
Could you create an archive.is link that I could use instead?
That is the way to do it; let the archiver take the legal risk, that's something they're planning for
@gravitasdeficiency @Blaze If they're going to be a stickler about the "in any way" bit, guess it's against the rules to simply view it?
The browser makes a local copy in the cache. That's how things work.
You miss the point.
That post constitutes a mirrored copy of the article that was not authorized by the copyright holder. The copied text includes the bloody copyright. That’s practically begging for a legal nastygram if the admins leave that up.
@gravitasdeficiency Geez, after over 35 years on the Internet, you think I'd learn to append an "/s" tag to things by now.
I'll leave a some here for future use.
/s /s /s /s /s /s /s /s /s
Was it /s though? 🙃
Good bot . Seriously tho if everyone did this we wouldn't have to go to sites like sketchyaf.com.
Thanks Blaze!
If the site is like that, then they probably already shared your info with everyone.
So you prefer sites that share your data without letting you know?
Sounds like something I'm too European to worry about 😂
