😠 Finding you've created on a pirate download site

🤬 ... Which charges users to access content *you* self-funded and haven't made back costs on yet

😒 ... Where the downloads are hosted by a third party in a country that doesn't care about compliance

😵‍💫 ... Only when you look into it the downloads are allegedly and the site is just using your preview pics and copy for some reason??? But you can't verify this because malware

@alexbayleaf In my experience, most of the picture pirates on Mastodon have links to some sort of payment system (paypal, kofi), though that is sometimes obscured via linktree. I'm really surprised at how many of the people I follow get sucked into boosting these people. If I see a great post that uses somebody else's photograph it doesn't even get a like. Wish people just used links to original images ... it's easy.

There are 17,695 known instances. Fairly sure one of those admins won't have got their , , and registrations sorted out. Nobody would sue an instance admin? Sure, have you met "The Mouse"..? The Mouse sure would. wired.com/story/mastodon-legal

If you'd like to take part in your own micro-social network experiment (like we're trying at moss.haus), the EFF has a good primer on some of the legal responsibilities that could arise when hosting your own instance.

I, for one, had no idea about the DMCA agent requirement to qualify for copyright safe harbor protections. (Don't worry, it's only six bucks.)

Also trying to work out what we need to do about and requirements.

We are hosted in Germany, so I believe that does not apply to us.

Since we are still very small and not anticipating that this will become an issue any time soon, I'm not stressing about it too much.

Mostly I just want to make sure we are thinking about these things now and won't be caught unawares if any fuckery happens in those areas.

police going crazy: Warning for "pirating" - here it's an 20.04 ISO. Someone seems to impersonate (the Ubuntu makers) here. This is of course a scam, but it's way to easy to do this!

Ok der takedown von bei ist scheise, aber ich verstehe das gleichzeitige gebashe gegen nicht.

Es mach doch gar keinen Unterschied ob die takedown Nachricht an Microsoft oder an die "alten" Besitzer von GitHub gegangen wäre, beide hätten nach US Recht das repository vom Netz nehmen müssen.

Quite interesting to see how @microsoft@twitter.com spits out false takedown notes and how purely informational pages like @reddit@twitter.com r/crackwatch suffering from those and even leading into false suspention of accounts there.
