Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Torrent the Dark Knight to watch at home along and the media companies will sue you for infinity billion dollars. Openly torrent every movie known to man to train an AI and the media companies don't do shit.

You wouldn't steal a car.

You wouldn't right click and save an NFT.

Piracy. It's a crime.

That doesn't work unless you also "steal" all the media companies' money so now they don't have any to pay the lawyers.

Well in this case they are trying to do something... This whole "personal use" thing is Meta's response to a copyright claim against them.

It's not a personal Jellyfin server, it's training material for a possible future AGI. It's going to know a lot about terrible horror movies.
