The key problem is that copyright infringement by a private individual is regarded by the court as something so serious that it negates the right to privacy. It’s a sign of the twisted values that copyright has succeeded on imposing on many legal systems. It equates the mere copying of a digital file with serious crimes that merit a prison sentence, an evident absurdity.
This is a good example of how copyright’s continuing obsession with ownership and control of digital material is warping the entire legal system in the EU. What was supposed to be simply a fair way of rewarding creators has resulted in a monstrous system of routine government surveillance carried out on hundreds of millions of innocent people just in case they copy a digital file.
You are clearly a corporate shill so I’m not going to bother responding to any of your bad faith arguments. Your entire comment can be summed up by saying you don’t believe anything a person makes belongs to them. I hope your life in Russia or China is enjoyable.
This has to be a copypasta
Great… so we’re reaffirming that society’s various structures exist purely for the benefit of monied interests, as ever. Any benefit the regular person sees from arrangements is purely coincidental, your rights stops at the point at which a corporation needs them to.
Lets see Courts opinion on
AILLMs.Property rights being valued above human rights is kind of a mainstay of capitalism.
Property rights are part of human rights.
This situation is about preventive protection of someone’s rights warranting real violation of your rights.
It’s a clear violation of status quo, it’s absolute bullshit, and the officials responsible for this should all spend quality time in jail answering questions about mafia organizations they are affiliated with, and then be flogged on TV, with a lifetime prison sentence after.
This is so stupid since several thousand devices can use one IP address. NAT exists.
If I download music in a Starbucks, can they fine the Starbucks CEO then?
Anyway I hope I hope online artists, and authors are able to use this to sue AI companies for stealing their copyrighted works.
A good question… I suggest we all start torrenting new release movies and video games exclusively through Starbucks, because I want to know
MAC addresses serious have to be spoofed.
If copyright is sacrosanct then the creation of data by me is my own personal property and without a contract anyone holding my data is in violation.
Afraid to upvote this in case someone later attempts to prove I viewed this data with my eyes
Every single person in the EU needs to sue on these grounds.
Also fuck this corporatist statist bullshit. Why the fuck do people keep voting in authoritarians?
Cause for making an authoritarian change it’s sufficient to vote once, to revert it is voting in the situation created by it. It’s a logical OR in their favor.
And it makes perfect sense that a big centralized state and putting rule of law above pride cause this.
It’s like the “computer that you can’t throw out of the window” quote. A government you can’t change via riots is a bad government. A republic is about rule of people, not of stamped toiled paper with rules on it. The good French rioting tradition is also from this.
Rule of law should never be put above common sense and pride.
In a couple of decades the 2A crowd in the USA will become better understood by Americans and Europeans, I think.
I can relate to the sentiment, but that just makes it worse. How do you enforce ownership of data?
There’s only 1 thing for it: More internet surveillance.
Top me court says this is not enforceable bar real totalitarian state. EDIT: Also fuck them children of crowd.
They’re working on it.
What am I missing, here? If you do something illegal, they can try to find out who you are? So if the girl I am currently cyberstalking were to go to the police, they could work with my ISP to figure out who I am?
I’m going to move to a VPN pronto!
Just tell the judge she may have violated your copyright and you can stalk her all you want.
offtopic: Why would you cyberstalk a girl who doesn’t already know who you are?
What am I missing, here?
Well, for starters, you seem to be missing anything resembling a coherent argument… 🤪
It doesn’t seem like the ruling says copyright concerns justify overriding a right to anonymity under GDPR, but that the right to anonymity doesn’t exist in the first place.
I think that’s probably a better place to be, because it means they can legislate a right to anonymity.
The EU and the digital world: sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit. In Spanish we say ‘una de cal y otra de arena’.
Copyright imbues the creation with a level of uniqueness that is greatly exaggerated
Given a set of facts & tools people will come to similar or identical conclusions
So What?
Should that entitle you to be a gatekeeper forever?Humans have an urge for legacy. Legacy is probably the most destructive of human traits, it manifest as hoarding a bunch of resources, having as many children as possible, being noticed, being “famous”. The last two are having your legacy NOW
Legacy is self preservation exaggerated to extremes
I really don’t see how this doesn’t conflict with GDPR.
GDPR has plenty provisions where other laws or considerations may be more relevant than it, negating it in such cases.
I still do think the GDPR is extremely important, but it is no silver bullet,sadly.
But just in general, how can you have the right to be forgotten without the right to anonymity? They’re inherently bound together
Not really. Why would you need to be forgotten if no one knows who you are to begin with?
