Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Exactly what law states internet connections should be terminated for users accused of piracy?
And are we going to selectively enforce this against poor people, or are they going to start demanding the trunk lines feeding AI datacenters be cut as well? (I asked rhetorically).
AI shouldn’t be allowed to touch the internet because it’s basically stealing everything and never giving references which is plagiarism.
Come on, you don't think an industry that habitually uses automated takedown requests regardless of merit would falsely accuse anyone, do you?
Might be a good idea to torrent whatever you need before the corpos manage to get some law passed that makes it so that isps will have to terminate users for that.
Need a new internet protocol that doesnt use ISPs
You want a protocol that will build physical last-mile connections to peoples' houses?
I just woke up everyone in my house with a giggle fit thanks to you. Yes weed is involved.
That was amazing.
I second this. Anyone know the code reference?
I suppose this means that if someone tells USPS that a burned DVD of The Bee Movie has been mailed to me, USPS should stop delivering any mail to me?
That is one way to stop junk mail...
Sign me up!
DMCA the fuck out of every media company.
Accuse them of piracy.
Is it true? Who gives a fuck.
Terminate their accounts.
Also the judges. This way they can’t browse all their CP without fixing their fuck ups
No, you see courts only apply this precedent when it can hurt poor people.
Exactly my thoughts! Who's the ISP for the RIAA?
Comcast.
Well... they do hang out in the public torrents of movies, games, shows, etc.
That's how they get IP addresses and have their bots send DMCA notices.
5th circuit is pure cancer.
If they were a real circuit they could withstand 10,000 volts.
All circuits are bastards.
Cool. Did any AI company pay for all their copywritten material? Surely OpenAI shouldn't have access to the internet anymore.
That could be a fun kind of ddos attack for a botnet - compromise your competitors' machines and download collective TBs of infringing material, then report it as an anonymous whistleblower!
actually you dont even have to download shit, just appear on the fucking ip leech list, leech that shit yourself, and then fucking spam them to the ISP and music industry. See how long it takes them to respond lmao
God damn it, right in the middle of me downloading a car.
I think that's legal if it's a PT Cruiser
That was one of the station cars at one of the TV stations where I worked because the station manager rented one at some conference and decided it was awesome.
What a piece of shit car.
Station!
Sorry, your comment triggered a memory that i wanted to share for some reason.
And that's why internet HAS to be basic human right.
This is some bullshit.
I thought everyone is innocent until proven guilty?
ISPs aren’t a court of law, and neither are the assholes going after the pirates.
In fact, the reality is they can’t go after them in a court of law because they don’t have enough evidence for it. Which is exactly why they want to be allowed to go all extra-judicial.
Did you really?
The fifth circuit can die in a fire. It'd be a great preview of hell, too.
Good fuckin luck with that. You're just gonna have people adopting more obfuscated piracy methods.
At this point it's just the n00bs. Everyone who knows shit about shit isn't going to be caught in one of these dragnets
Get letter from crapcast about downloading copyrighted material. Next search: 'how to torrent without isp knowing'
That is the end of democracy
I only read the headline, but I don't wanna die because some bands make it impossible to buy their music on shitty, poorly designed websites.
turns Mullvad back on
5th circuit is dystopian political satire level horrendous.
