  • Losing privacy for convenience has been happening. We use GPS on our smart phones for better directions. We install listening devices to add things to shopping carts and to play music by voice. We install cloud security cameras at home. We accept free WiFi in stores which gives them our cell phone info and our location. We use digital cash instead of physical cash. We buy things online rather than going to the store. Every device, like a toaster, has a MAC address.

  • BSD might be faster but companies choose BSD because the BSD License is much more flexible than the Linux General Public License. Apple was even able to create their own license, the APSL. They would not be able to do that using Linux.

  • Machine learning steals copyrighted material from artists and authors. Those servers have IP addresses too.

    Why is a company allowed to track people from taking pirating their copyrighted content, but artists aren't allowed to do the same to companies making a profit off their work?

  • Yes, that is adding controls and using a database from the SponsorBlock server.

    What I mean is a plugin cannot see the video. Like you can't write

     
            if(screen == adScreen) {
             then skipToNextSegment();
        }
    
    
      

    The plugin isn't reading the video, it is getting info from a database. For AI or machine learning to work ad injection, which might change for every user, doing what SponsorBlock is doing is not enough.

  • This is so stupid since several thousand devices can use one IP address. NAT exists.

    If I download music in a Starbucks, can they fine the Starbucks CEO then?

    Anyway I hope I hope online artists, and authors are able to use this to sue AI companies for stealing their copyrighted works.
