A wave of DMCA strikes hits YouTubers

►

Memor-X

01:35

@Avery didn't know anything was DMCAed there

Avery

@Memor-X developers dmca'd the album. She countered and won, apparently.

So devs might be lying here and there.

Though considering I got threatened by her when I mailed her for her side, I'm not sure.

Memor-X

@Avery it's all depending on the contract she signed. in the Dev jobs i have done any code i made for work belongs to the company so it depends in company own ship of the music she made for them is specified

which i assume has to be because why would a developer leave a huge hole like that, allowing an artist to DMCA the finish product

Avery

The contract company revealed is like thay

But considering they did change the game's music and got counter dmcad, I will take that contract with a pinch of salt.

Memor-X

@Avery then Alex winning her counter on Bandcamp is probably that the company didn't see it was worth starting a lawsuit

Avery

what about the game's music completely being changed, though?

if they owned the music, they wouldn't waste money for new music.

Memor-X

01:45

@Avery but is it still music she made? or by someone else?

Avery

@Memor-X new music is by someone else.

Frank

Meh. Mauer is nuts. The fact that she is weaponizing the DMCA is all I need to know.

Memor-X

@Avery well new videos shouldn't be legitimately DMCAed because she has no claim to the assets in it but it probably depends on how the contract is worded.

IAMACL but if it says "music used in the game belongs to the employer" then she might be able to argue that since it's not being used she can claim it back. but if it says "music created during employee's employment by employer" that it still belongs to the company if she made it during work times and/or when she represented the company.

as for costs, maybe it's cheaper to get new music made than going to court with a counter-counter-DMCA Claim

Avery

@Frank I can pretty much see her mindset right now.

Frank

@Avery So? I don't really care, even if I do understand it. She's wrong.

You being wronged by a company doesn't give you the right to threaten unrelated people's livelihoods.

Memor-X

@Frank yeh, really that's the main crux of the whole thing. especially since her actions may have probably destroyed 1 youtube channel that got over 3 strike and another which has their 3rd strike pending. i also heard that she started this during E3 or to an E3 Video and got one Twitch Streamer into trouble with their sponsors, i think that's a greater loose than a youtube video's add

Frank

She's pulling a nuclear option against people who don't deserve it, in an attempt to garner backlash against the company. That's wrong.

Memor-X

and in her responses she shows how little she thinks of the people she's attacking with this (though these are the same kind of comments any shitty dev makes to Jim or TB from my understanding)

Avery

I can see where she's coming from. Doesn't mean she's right.

She's not.

user15026

Whether or not she is right about the ownership of the work, how she is going about dealing with it is akin to a temper tantrum.

Avery

Memor-X

@Ash yeh, just a greater scale to what we've seen in the past

Frank

And thus, understanding her side or not, she gets zero empathy.

user15026

01:59

Punishing these other people is just pathetic and sad and doesn't make me want to support her regardless of whether or not I can see her theoretical side in it. Seeing your side doesn't mean that you get to treat people like shit to make a point. In fact it kinda undermines any empathy or understanding I'd bother to give.

Memor-X

does the claimant just have to say they are taking the person to court or do they need to show evidence that they are

Unionhawk

@Memor-X from what I know, the initial counternotice process informs the claimant that the accused believes a notice is erroneous for some reason, and the claimant can agree with that assessment (or something it's complicated)

Memor-X

@Unionhawk what about when they disagree, when the claimant believes a notice is not erroneous. from my understanding to counter the counter-claim it saying "you're wrong, i'll take you to court to prove it"

Unionhawk

It's complicated

One of the main actual use cases for it is "hey this doesn't actually contain this allegedly infringing material" afaik

minecraft-pocket-edition

Memor-X

i'm concered that if she is rejecting the counter-claims but not taking anyone to court (ie. what is said on SE's ToS) it would mean that the devs who file the false DMCA and wait the time out for the Counter-Claim because they don't have the cash for court case might find out that they can say they will but not do it

Frank

@Memor-X I believe she can reject the counterclaim, but Youtube still has to put the video back up.

At that point, Youtube is safe, and she's gotta take the creator to court.

Memor-X

@Frank ahhh. that might explain why Youtube lets it be automated/user run rather than having their legal team deal with it

Frank

@Memor-X Well, the whole three strikes and you're out is kinda problematic.

As it basically means you can pull a Mauer and destroy someone's channel.

smbc-comics.com/comic/power

Unionhawk

@Frank 3 strikes is complicated too

Frank

@Unionhawk I agree. Whether they're legitimate or not is irrelevant. Three strikes = channel dead.

Unionhawk

Not necessarily

It can happen at 1

It's a really inconsistent and weird system

Memor-X

@Unionhawk that's not because the first strike killed the spirit of the content creator is it and just self deleted everything?

Unionhawk

Copyright notices are also not the same thing as strikes, and I don't know if Taptap was issued a strike even for having a failed counternotice?

@Memor-X there have been multiple instances of single offenses bringing the channel (not just the video) down

Memor-X

02:20

@Unionhawk that's why i said probably destroyed 1 channel because i wasn't certain if every claim counted as a strike

@Unionhawk you can only send notices about video right? not an entire channel?

Unionhawk

The strike system is unclear

I've been served multiple notices and the worst thing I've had happen was a whole video mute

Valid notices, so

Frank

I think we're talking about two different things here.

Copyright claims give the claimants control of the content, to do with as they please.

Memor-X

@Avery was this before or after the shit heads started threatening her life

DMCA claims result in strikes, which can destroy a channel.

You honestly think Alex has enough to pay lawyer fees?

I don't.

If anything, I see Imagos releasing the rights as a good faith attempt to just let this die.

Memor-X

@Avery the 36.5k was what Alex received before this whole mess started

from what i understand Alex has rejected Imagos's attempts to remedy the situation so the 36.5k isn't a payout they made as one of their attempts

Avery

03:29

@Memor-X I know, but they could just use the music they got for 36.5k. Frank does have a point at saying stuff about legal fees, but I think that if they're right, this is a pretty straightforward lawsuit.

And shouldn't require a 9999999999$/hr lawyer.

@Unionhawk If it was a work for hire, it means, "Musician has zero rights. It belongs to the company."

Right but now the rights have been relinquished voluntarily so

The steam takedowns went away before that even, but the others remain

Because she is still fraudulently claiming copyright on the music.

One skill just gives you 7 skeletons at all times, but when you activate it it sics them on a specific enemy and gives them a damage boost.

Another gives you a blood golem, which you can sacrifice to produce a bunch of corpses (which you can use to power other skills).

I'm only level 19, so I haven't seen everything it can do, but it feels unique so far.

SaintWacko

Yeah, I played the beta and it seemed pretty unique

Q: How to extract files from shadow of mordor?

After an hour of playing this game, I wanted to see the files. I tried .arch5 explorer, dragon unpacker and nothing works. On .arch5 explorer I see the filenames I just cannot extract them. Please help.

Do not watch the final trailer for "War for the Planet of the Apes".

According to /r/Movies, that is.

Beedrill

@Yuuki Why not?

Too spoilery?

Yuuki

@Beedrill Apparently it spoils a major plot point.

Unionhawk

Hmm... winforms designer why are you doing this to me

y

I mean I know you hate happiness but why do you hate me

BlueBarren

@Yuuki how do they know when the movie isn't even out yet?

Yuuki

@BlueBarren Usually from context clues, you can tell whether something's a major plot point.

Unionhawk

SPOILER ALERT: there is a planet with apes on it

and there's a war

Beedrill

SPOILER ALERT: Sephiroth kills Dumbledore

BlueBarren

@Yuuki or maybe they're doing that to trick you

Unionhawk

SPOILER ALERT: Colonel Mustard killed Dumbledore in the parlor with the lead pipe

all right, rebuild succeeded

Come onnnnnnnn

SPOILER ALERT: @WIPQOZN IS THE WORST

Unionhawk

That's not a spoiler

You're abusing spoiler markup how dare you

Yuuki

SPOILER ALERT

Unionhawk

if there's a car on that link I swear to god

BlueBarren

idk I think @Wipqozn being the worst is rather integral part to the Bridge narrative.

Beedrill

Wasn't mod-abusing @Unionhawk's chat bio a meme for a while? Was that you?

Unionhawk

14:42

Probably

BlueBarren

was that who?

Spoiler Alert: Ash got married.

Q: Game mechanics for improving speed run times in Offspring Fling

Currently, I am playing through Offspring Fling. True to its nature as a precision platformer, it is hard. (And fun.) Beating the Gold time on each level is a challenge. However, beating the Dev time really requires detailed knowledge of certain game mechanics. From browsing a few reviews arou...

BlueBarren

@fredley joined that site just to upvote the answer

MadMAxJr

15:26

@fredley That... Is research.

Jutschge

If we had an answer like that on arqade it would probably still have less upvotes than an ITG answer

Unionhawk

I would +100 it

BlueBarren

I kinda want to put all 100 of rep as a bounty to that question because this person deserves it

Unionhawk

You can't because bounties are unlocked at like 150

BlueBarren

is the option supposed to be available to me even if I don't have it?

Unionhawk

15:33

Uh

BlueBarren

because it says I can start a bounty

I also thought bounties were at 75

Unionhawk

I lied it's 75

huh

BlueBarren

AHA

MadMAxJr

That level of answer makes me think of The Question from Justice League.

When he's off in a warehouse, cracking open a crate, "Aha! 32 flavors!" before he gets a call.

Unionhawk

I'm not doing it though mainly so I retain vote up and flag posts

might do 50 idk

BlueBarren

they definitely deserve an upvote so they got that from me

Context menus are hard.

Or at least harder than I expected them to be.

MBraedley

@Yuuki What language?

Yuuki

@MBraedley JS, trying to create a context menu in a canvas.

MBraedley

Oh, yeah, can't help you with that.

SaintWacko

Ha

Just scared my coworkers by suggesting I use regex to parse the XML response from the API

Yuuki

I can handle the oncontextmenu event to show/hide divs on right-click but I'm having trouble getting them to display above the canvas like an actual context menu.

Kevin van der Velden

15:56

@SaintWacko someone wrote "HTML parsing?" on our whiteboard so I added "regex?"

SaintWacko

@KevinvanderVelden Nice :D

BlueBarren

I think epipen has a great slogan

"Blue to the sky orange to the thigh"

it's clearly not about selling the product but actually educating people on how to use one in case of emergency

Although I would hope epipens aren't hard to use

Q: What impresses the fancy ladies? Do they really matter?

Whenever I get to Act 2 I can't paint to impress anyone except the business guys and that always lands me a job at a design company.
