What’s more disturbing than the filmmakers continually trying to get the ips, is that the courts keep entertaining the filmmakers. At what point does the legal system say enough?

We need forge federation. Nintendo would never be able to delete forks on thousands of different servers

VintageTech ,

I've been trying to wrap my head around a decentralized git so I can release a pokemon rom hack.

draughtcyclist ,

But git is decentralized by design... Just self host.

Yet nobody is going to discover your repo as nobody knows your server

Jakeroxs , (edited )

Most ROM devs use xdelta or other patches to get around it, so you don't include the ROM.

Cethin ,

As another comment says, git is just the version control software. You mean a decentralized hub for sharing git repos I assume. Git hub/lab/whatever are just websites that share a link fundamentally. They also all store the data for your repo, but there's no reason that would need to be stored in the same place as the hub to find repos.

qwerty , to Technology in Rightsholders Want U.S. “Know Your Customer” Proposal to Include Domain Name Services * TorrentFreak

ENS, unstoppable domains, tor, i2p, ipfs... I think this is actually good for the Internet, it will normalize and popularize private, censorship resistant tech. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

BearOfaTime ,

Just can't imagine how these people don't see their actions promote greater use of encryption

palordrolap ,

Prediction: Once everything is an app, there'll be no need for generic encryption and anyone found using it will be labelled a terrorist enabler and locked up.

Buddahriffic ,

Yeah, that whole angle has me wondering if changing my own habits to gain privacy that the average person doesn't get will just put a target on my back. If they want to spy on everyone to figure out who is a danger to the ruling class and status quo, they could eventually just start treating anyone that they can't spy on as suspects and either use other mechanisms to break through that privacy to make sure or just criminalize that stuff.

They were trying but I think the last round of laws failed because they'd have to admit that the current commonly used encryption schemes have backdoors and wouldn't need to be banned when the whole question of "what about business uses?" came up.

@simple@lemm.ee avatar

It was already confirmed to be actually Nintendo earlier

TORFdot0 ,

That’s exactly what the article is about. It basically points out that mm-nintendo.com domain is owned by MarkMonitor the brand reputation firm that also owns a bunch of mm-{brand name}.com domains. And basically points out that while it does look like it seems like a scam domain, it really isn’t

triptrapper , to Technology in Premier League Wants GoDaddy to Identify Live Streaming Pirates.

A few years back Dana White said he was going to crack down on illegal UFC streams. Then one night at a press conference he announced, "You guys remember the guy I was talking about who was doing the illegal streams? WE GOT HIM. He apologized and promised he'll never do it again." These losers are completely out of touch.

@chiisana@lemmy.chiisana.net avatar

I received DMCA from Nintendo in 2015 from dmca@millernash.com which was also confirmed to be legitimate as authorized agents.

Big companies like Nintendo doesn’t have to use their own in house corporate counsel for this kind of enforcement. They can and often do task it out to firms that’ll take on both discovery and take down based on given directive on an agreed rate that’d be cheaper than them doing it in house, so they don’t need to train up an entire department on the skill set required.

The sad part is, a few years ago I gladly paid for the Disney Hulu bundle along with HBO. Now it's all gone to shit and they never even improved the Disney Plus app. My subscription payments are long gone and I'm better off for it.

ApathyTree ,
@ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

If I can pay a single reasonable fee and have access to literally everything, I do.

If I could do that without having to go through the effort of finding everything myself, I would absolutely pay for that. I used to stream because it was better. I can’t afford that now though, and not everything is even available.

Metz , to Technology in Nintendo DMCA Notice Wipes Out 8,535 Yuzu Repos, Mig Switch Also Targeted.

Did not get a e-mail but my fork is gone. That can't be legal can it? I'm in the EU.

HKayn ,
@HKayn@dormi.zone avatar

Why wouldn't it be legal?

Metz ,

Yeah i tend to forget that github is in the US and their allmighty DMCA can be used to take down anything. i just have a hard time believing this shit would fly in the EU.

kernelle ,

It would, it has, next step after DMCA even in the EU is legal action, which nintendo already fought in court. I don't know about you but I'm not ready to defend someone else's code in court.

john89 ,

I don’t know about you but I’m not ready to defend someone else’s code in court.

Errr... will you ever have to? Lol.

kernelle ,

Comment OP is forking Yuzu code, we're talking about how this is fair or unfair. When you fork DMCA'd code you open yourself up to litigation and having to defend someone else's code in court.

I won't, OP might. Did you actually not read the context before replying? Lol.

HKayn ,
@HKayn@dormi.zone avatar

Again, why would it not fly in the EU?

JohnEdwa ,
@JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz avatar

Emulation isn't illegal, reversing encryption isn't illegal, software patents aren't valid in some countries.

That's why the US can't do anything about VLC "breaking" DVD encryption, as they are based in France and aren't doing anything wrong.

john89 ,

Europeans actually care about their consumers.

Americans just view them as fat paypigs who are too stupid to fight for their own interests.

General_Effort ,

The EU tends to be much harsher in these matters, though some members don't follow along.

Natanael ,

With DMCA get uploader is supposed to get notified and get a chance to file a counter claim

dinckelman ,

It doesn’t matter where you are. The company is based in the US, so they’re required to follow local law

*Especially with politicians.
Every payment (and donation) made from 1980 to present in regards to any political party or directly related to one.

Nollij ,

These are public records. It's the indirect payments, such as to a PAC or free good publicity, that aren't tracked.

Appoxo ,

The US is not the only country in the world?

Nollij ,

RCN is in the US. The lawsuit was filed in the US. The filmmakers behind the lawsuit appear to be based in the US. Reddit is based in the US.

Like it or not, this is a US story. There may be other, similar stories about other countries, but this one is US.

Also, if your country has less protection from political corruption than the US, you probably have bigger problems than piracy.

kratoz29 , to Technology in Google, Cloudflare & Cisco Will Poison DNS to Stop Piracy Block Circumvention * TorrentFreak

How is that even legal?

foremanguy92_ ,

It is legal just only because they can restrict the access to any of the services they want, in fact they don't oblige you to use their DNS...

sugar_in_your_tea ,

How would it be illegal? It's their service, they can set whatever rules they want on it. If you don't like it, pick another DNS provider.

john89 , to Technology in Nintendo DMCA Notice Wipes Out 8,535 Yuzu Repos, Mig Switch Also Targeted.

Glad the version of Yuzu I have downloaded is apparently a really good, performant, and stable one.

Bless these devs. They did god's work.

Every time I read news like this I‘m glad I moved to my own cloud.

golden_zealot ,
@golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

How did you do it, what are you using and how do you have it configured? Also interested in the costs.

haui_lemmy ,
@haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com avatar

Check out my setup if you want.

Costs depend on a lot of factors. If you are technically adept you might be able to get away with 20 bucks a month for the whole setup but most folks wouldn’t imo. I also have some old hardware I was able to use and upgraded it. Initial invest for a homeserver varies greatly depending on who you know.

If you want to know more please ask. You can also hit me up on matrix. Link in bio.

golden_zealot ,
@golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

Swell, thank you.

archer ,

I did a similar setup for my own cloud on several Raspberry Pis (one master and two backup devices). The backups are placed offsite and sync the entire content of the master device. The next step I want to try now is running a Proxmox cluster (on x86) that now only syncs contents but also provides identical copies in a high availability setup (like a "real" cloud would).

haui_lemmy ,
@haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com avatar

Thats actually not a bad idea. Long term selfhosted cloud solutions will have to compete on availability/redundancy. You might want to help the NC folks to implement that on their docker setup or something?
