@stux I'm fairly sure it's okay. It's been there on various channels for a long time. It's also prly more important to have the story told than to optimize monetization.

@stux Do a quick search on peertube. Looking through it, you CAN'T not get it recommended to you.
@stux I'm certainly going to check that out!!
@stux Thanks! I'd never seen that. This particular link has some audio censorship shenanigans due to the mention of "suicide" toward the end, but I was able to find another YT link that doesn't edit it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vz06QO3UkQ&rco=1

@stux never heard of that story but I’ll definitely check this out , thanks !

@stux
"He walked by the White House and said 'They don't let felons work there'.

Zuckerberg should in prison for what he steals.

@stux
Thank you for that! I didn't know him or his story before.

This version is better, because the sound of the other one gets cut off at the last 10 min or so.

@stux I've found other places with it (unless there's more than one and this is a different one than I've found). I'm not sure it would be "illegal". It's one of those situations that if you honour a request, you've technically not broken the law, and... If you want to "determine" if it is legal or not, it has to go to court.
@stux
Aaron war ein toller Mensch, und er hätte viel für die Menscheit tuen können. Ich sehe es als globale Sünde, das man ihn in den Selbstmord getrieben hatt. ❤️ 🙏
@stux I guess Zuckerberg being Elon Trump's sub has its benefits.
@cmlael67 @stux
Crime is only illegal if you don't have a power daddy.
@cmlael67 @stux That, and a $25 million “settlement” (read: bribe) to the fragile, sad, orange clown.
@stux Best is that Aaron Swartz merely downloaded, and in a way that should be entirely legal.
Meanwhile Meta/Facebook definitely illegally downloaded it all *and* then made a derivative product out of it.
@stux and the sad part is that they will get away with it, especially in the US.
@stux When 1 person does it, jail. When an exciting new disruptive corp does it, it’s okay.

@stux

Thanks for posting this. I'm not especially techie, so I'm learning things here. . . . Good, bad, and sad 😔

@stux I wonder if Aaron's judge, Carmen Ortiz, will have the guts to punish the Meta in the same way
@ujeenator @stux I suspect that she'll be conspicuous by her silence.

@ujeenator @stux Interestingly, for a judge she seems to have a very weak grasp of law.

What Swartz did was not theft. It was infringement. Copyright law uses a word that is different from theft because it is **A DIFFERENT THING**.

This woman was incompetent as a judge and should have been slapped down by a level up.

@stux
Just reinforcement of the saying "The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer". If you are WHITE and RICH you can get away with anything.

@stux

"Rules for thee, but not for me".

@stux why doesnt mark zuckerberg takes his own life?...
@stux RSS daddy, the best thing the web ever had
@stux don't you see, the signal is , we are running the show and will do as we please
@stux appropriate emoji lol

@stux Why is it relevant what they use it for?

Did they have a permission to download it? If not it was illegal.

If so, I hope they signed the contract with blood and it cost Zuck jr.

@heiglandreas Because taking someone else’s work and then making money of it or a derivative work is worse than merely taking it.
@Leonick Morally yes. Absolutely with you.
@stux There exists a group photo of Aaron Swarz and Zuckerberg at MIT. Same story, different intents, different outcomes. Sadly not the good intention had the better outcome.
Edit: It was Sam Altman. But the point still remains. https://mamutovo.cz/@Razemix/113978218858794021

@stux Long live #AaronSwartz and his fight against Internet bullies!

❤️‍🔥

@stux This left me very impacted at the time. Sad.
@stux burn the tech companies 🔥put them to jail! All of them!

@stux

It is only a crime when users do it…

@stux nodds in agreement

I miss Aaron Swartz.

  • Guy was based af!

@stux

This was a #Crime, to #hunt him into #Suicide.

@stux
That's fiscal conservatism for you - Corporations should have all the rights of human beings, but none of the responsibilities.
@stux That is the world we live in. The state is the henchman of big capital and will utterly destroy any ordinary citizen who is deemed a threat to the income of big capital. A very educational film on that matter.
@stux the difference is that Aaron wanted to make public research free, and Meta wanted to make a profit.
@stux
Con deepl lo traduje al español

@stux His website is still up at https://aaronsw.com.

Among other things, he co-authored RSS at 14, cocreated Open Library and Reddit, was influential in Creative Commons, and founded Demand Progress. All of this in his too-short twenty-six years on this planet.

Aaron Hillel Swartz, may his memory be for a blessing.

@stux

should have paid the fine and bribed a few other politicians, like High-Class people do.

@stux I’m not sure why you would say it’s illegal. Anna’s makes everything open for downloading and opposes copyright. The authors of those works could object but they would also very much object to Anna’s having “illegal “ copies and making them available outside of any protection.
@stux Is the rich versus us all the time
@stux we will never forget him. Thank you for the reminder. He's our martyr.
@stux And this could be said of every company training LLMs.

@stux Oh… THAT’S what Meta did (I had read random comments online, but wasn’t sure what they did and then got distracted by the avalanche of news coming at me.)

Ugh… that’s freaking HORRIBLE!
