YouTube's Content ID system processed a record 2.5 billion copyright claims in 2025, up 14% from the year before.

Come on #Nintendo, I'm waiting for a #DMCA any moment now.

Decided to sample the Outside Volcano Lava theme from New Super Mario Brothers Wii. To be honest, this sounds a bit more experimental than how I usually am but I like it. Might be a bit much to some though.

Also, I think I named the song appropriately.

Google's Top DMCA Sender Plateaus at 70 Million Takedowns Per Week * TorrentFreak

Google has processed billions of DMCA takedown requests during the first months of the year. Reporting agency Link-Busters remains the top sender. While its dominance remains, the company appears to have hit a takedown ceiling of roughly 70 million URLs per week. Google won't confirm whether there's a limit on the notices it processes and says that trusted parties "can submit the quantity they need."

I feel like the only thing stopping someone from making an interceptor chip for Blu-ray drives that will store each MKB revocation list separately for each version is fear of the DMCA.

Голливуд вбухал миллионы в защиту DVD, а сломал её норвежский школьник, которому просто хотелось смотреть кино на Linux

Значит так. Есть такой расхожий сюжет: жадные корпорации придумали защиту, а злые хакеры её взломали. Красиво, драматично, и конечно-же неправда. С защитой DVD всё было ровно наоборот: её похоронили не хакеры, а собственное правительство США, причём заранее, на этапе чертежа. А голливудские студии это знали и всё равно несколько лет строили на этом бизнес. У меня, кстати, дома до сих пор валяется стопка дисков с нулевых. Играются через VLC без проблем. А в 1999-м эти же диски, купленные за честные деньги, на Linux у меня бы не запустились, потому что так решили дяди в пиджаках. Вставил диск — получи отлуп. А хочешь посмотреть своё? Покупай Windows или специальную железку. Очень, очень клиентоориентированно. Вот про эту прекрасную историю и поговорим.

Are the Morphie developers really this shameless? They just patched, forked, and merged some parts of ReVanced's changes, and then they had the audacity to issue a DMCA takedown. 1/2

Subject: My PeerTube instance [ https://peertube.dansu.org/ ]

I posted this a few minutes ago, but I'm not sure of where it showed up. It's probably somewhere in direct messages. I'll repost it here to be safe and also to share these thoughts publicly.

@ricci Both you and @mastodonmigration are correct as far as it goes presently.

The PeerTube instance is new and still taking shape. In the past, I've contested takedown attempts. However, I don't mind the idea of complying with #DMCA in this case and then possibly moving the server to a Luxembourg host that I use.

Luxembourg is EU jurisdiction except for one top-level domain that is more protected. Takedowns are still possible in both of those contexts, but DMCA doesn't apply. Procedures need to be followed and I'm not liable for large penalties if I lose.

The PeerTube instance will, too, be broadcast- and download- only for the time being. So, no members will be inconvenienced if it needs to be shut down for a move.

Additionally, the goal is to set an example. It'll work better if more people, #PeerTube admins and their site members, start to think about this use of PeerTube.

See the story of youtube-dl and yt-dlp. Initially, billionaires tried to Block the Hell out of that code. 1,000s of people responded by mirroring the codebases. I did so myself. In the end, the billionaires were forced to give up.

This is referred to as Streisand Principle. I don't know if it's possible with videos. However, there's a reason to try for it.

For videos, the current system is YouTube based. To get a video taken down, a billionaire only needs to sneeze. If there are dozens of PeerTube instances that repost videos in the public interest, takedowns will be more difficult. Billionaires will be aware that mass takedowns risk calling attention to contested material and may trigger Streisand Effect.

This discussion isn't limited to YT videos at immediate risk [as the #Colbert Monroe video was initially]. People should repost public interest videos that might disappear later.

News clips are fair game. Interviews with billionaires or government officials who make inconvenient admissions are high priority.

Note, too, that YT is in a war with download software. Eventually, it'll be impossible to get videos off of the site. So, public interest videos should be downloaded and reposted while it's possible.

The U.S. wasn't supposed to be an oligarchy. As much as possible needs to be taken back from billionaire and corporate control. Ideally, it'll become the norm that inconvenient videos can't be swept under the rug. Just as it is already for text.
