Reddit Asks Court to Protect Users Right to Anonymous Speech in Piracy Case
>The court eventually agreed with this defense
>Reddit was unhappy with the subpoena, characterizing it as overbroad and more akin to a fishing expedition than regular evidence gathering. Reddit only handed over the details of one user whose comment mentioned RCN, denying other ‘less relevant’ ones, while citing the users’ First Amendment right to anonymous speech. https://torrentfreak.com/reddit-asks-court-to-protect-users-right-to-anonymous-speech-in-piracy-case-230707/ #Reddit #privacy #piracy #DMCA

There's a lot to unpack here. #Copyright law is broken. The #DMCA is constantly abused by IP trolls. And of course, stop using #Google This is what supporting large, centralized tech companies inevitably leads to.
#NewPipe is an incredibly important project and I'm sure Google was more than happy to comply with a DMCA request to remove search results for a project that actively works against their business model.

Crackdown from #Youtube on third party #FOSS continues. Now NewPipe is under the attack via DMCA, so the page is banned in #Google search https://newpipe.net/blog/pinned/announcement/newpipe-net-dmca-google-search/
But here's the funniest thing: the #DMCA takedown hit only the landing page, any subpages (Blog, FAQ, donate etc.) are still searchable via Google. It is really funny and ridiculous attempt by them to continue pressuring third party YT apps #Privacy #OpenSource #fdroidapps #FLOSS #Android

#newpipe has been removed from #google search recently. The homepage https://newpipe.net is not listed in Google search results anymore. This is due to a #DMCA. For now, only our landing page is affected.

@manjusrii In fact, #CollectingAgencies' wanting to do #rentseeking instead of #DMCA'ing content is the reason why two domestic #YouTube alternatives in #Germany basically died despite having once higher market share in 2007:
#MyVideo and #ClipFish...

@SlicerDicer I'm just not keen at buying from #Dräger for being #AntiRepair and literally #DMCA repair manuals for their devices off the internet!

I’m predicting the worst thing to happen to the Fediverse is yet to come. Boosts and feedback appreciated.
We need a discussion here on how we’re going to enforce content removal here, before it becomes a problem.

@ariegoldshlager maybe because #Copyright as a system is brolen AND because due to #OCILLA & #DMCA they don't have to but only comply with #takedown-notices...
Not gonna defend #Twitter, but the #Copyrightmafia only cares about #rentseeking via #CollectingAgencies...

@j0 @torproject it's not about streaming #YouTube over #Tor - that doesn't work for obvious reasons [aka. bandwith] but rather to keep the sourcecode accessible and prevent #DMCA bullshit like what happened to #YoutubeDL...

#Twitch in that regard is even worse than #YouTube towards people like #JimSterling when it comes to false #DMCA claims...

Because in that case YouTube solely complies with #OCILLA and deciding to not give a shit until the defendant lawyers up and sues them...
Twitch banning any kind of reasonable advertising is just shit, because it's not done to comply with any laws or regulations whatsoever...

I'm woundering when #Nintendo will #DMCA the #8BitGuy for showing a #SuperMarioBros port to the #commanderx16

@lewdthewides @jimsterling False #DMCA's should be penalized like attempted #SWATtings in #Germany:
With repeat offenders facing jailtime.
@lewdthewides that's the problem:
#DMCA'ing shit frivolously isn't being penalized at all!
AND THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE!
If people can get jailed for copyright violations, then so should those wrongly claiming stuff - otherwise it's just facist imbalance...
but @jimsterling already talked about that in lenghts:

#Google honored a #DMCA request from an Israeli company and removed a web browser for #AndroidTV from the Play Store. The request was filed because the app has the potential to access a pirate site.
This is obviously ridiculous yet Google still has declined one of the developer's appeals, and failed to respond to the second. How can they be this incompetent when it comes to frivolous DMCA notices and false copyright strikes? People are abusing their systems like crazy.

@TheLetterTen #DMCA or other #CeaseAndDecist mechanisms based off #Copyright would be worth taking a look at.
#NotLegalAdvice: Please consult a lawyer!

I found an account on #Twitter which is subscribed to #TwitterBlue and with the ability to post hour-long videos at a time, this person has chosen to share movies in a few tweets. I have a scrolled back to March and have seen fewer than 5 videos taken down due #DMCA claims. Makes me think understaffing may be an issue over there…
@vantablack #Copyrightmafia will want a word about that.
It's not 2010 anymore where #YouTube was willing to give #GEMA and other rentseeking "collecting angencies" the finger and tell them to properly file #DMCA claims amd go after the users cuz #OCILLA doesn't make the hoster liable.
But then again #FBI also went after #Megaupload despite them actually taking down stuff...
