When yall gonna arrest Sam Altman?
Only arrest him?
this should never be a criminal offense. any criminal statutes enforcing corporate copyright is a moral perversion. a civil lawsuit matter at most.
how is this any different from debtors’ prison??
individual creators should, of course, have huge power to protect their creations under the law, but anyone other than the individual should be harshly prevented from using copyright protection. in practical terms, enforcement is expensive and high-effortn for an individual, but that’s what law firms are for. creators can also form cooperatives or collectives to aggregate their interests and legal efforts. there’s no need nor justifications for extractive corporate entities to exist.
Japan also arrests a lot of pirates. using state terrorism to enforce capitalist corporate exploitation of creators and consumers…. Japan govt clearly uses a terroristic policy of draconian enforcement against minor offenders in order to frighten those considering pirating. a state that rules by fear is an unredeemable tyranny.
I’m guessing the crime is how they got the movie.
This happened in Singapore I guess, but assuming they have similar laws to the US then this would be unlawful access of a computer system.
I’m out of the loop here, I thought Paramount emailed a link to the file, now he’s a hacker?
Even then, it’s probably predicated on the idea that a reasonable person would realize that it was sent in error and that even though they’ve received the email they’re not authorized to access the systems that the link points to.
It’s still ridiculous the penalties, globally, for ‘hacking’ wya out of proportion.
Sounds like BS to me, kinda like they’re trying to hide their incompetence and an excuse to nail the guy
Why would anyone trust corporate media on this?
Singapores legal system doesn’t mess around either. Dang
Well they hacked their way into Paramount’s servers, I’m guessing they’ll be charged with whatever digital trespassing laws Singapore has rather than whatever DMCA-like law they (Most certainly also) have. Crazy to do this sort of thing in Singapore IMO, internet surveillance there is probably totalizing and their punishments are horrific.
In my attempt to drive a wedge into the ideal of unconditional government faith:
I have deduced that there are five laws of society: 1. State - national or regional regulations, uses prisons, sometimes to protect themselves rather than the community 2. Religious - based on the perception of guidelines of how to live, as per holy scriptures 3. Moral - the societal, generally accepted rules to not be a dick, such as harming others in malice, stealing. Not to be confused with subjective, personal morals 4. Ethical - a broader, more easily agreeable set of regulations, almost exclusively to protect life, the way of it, and the generally accepted ideas of rights for fauna and flora 5. Corporate - enforcement of copyright and intellectual property, a capitalist creation, often used to socially and financially destroy individuals rather than battle other businesses, in some regions utilising state law
The state legal system is sometimes the absolute enemy of the people and morals, especially when combined with corporate law, and shouldn’t be treated like it’s unconditionally justice.
Bu-but how can you talk bad about Japan? Isn’t Japan a paradise where nothing bad happen and everybody is happy? /s
…no?
Gotta love the irony of these people releasing a movie about resisting an insane empire…
Then bringing an insane empire down on anybody who tries to share the movie.
True 🤣
Saying “the alleged” seems like a good way to indicate he’s guilty while still using “alleged”. Probably should say “an alleged”.
