Ive tried Arch before and it wasn't for me. Having to find all the packages that work for my setup was a bit of a pain. I was 6 months in trying to print something, not realizing I didnt install CUPS and that was my breaking point lol. Its great for those who want it. Real on canonical tho.

In the context of the meme one has to remember republicans do not care about power dynamics, and to them regardless she was consenting.

the OP from 2015 I'm assuming. Who knows maybe Amazon will let him return them?

Or may Jeff Bezos will personally laugh in his face and have a wedding at his house. Hard to say.

In US public schooling it is never presented this way. The only reason we were ever told to cite is because of plagiarism, not to support our argument. It was drilled into us that not citing our work could end with us getting sued.

Capitalism baby! You dont own information, I do!

YouTube is not responsible for their users actions. If the uploader decides to appeal the takedown, the uploader goes to court not YouTube.

In the analogy, what you've described would be the equivalent of the person finding out their brother was running a meth lab and kicking them out without consulting law enforcement.

If law enforcement found the methlab, the person and their brother would be held liable. If Disney found The Lion King on YouTube, the uploaded is held liable. Making YouTube (or any website) legally liable for their uploaders content would put a lot of websites in jeopardy. Safe harbor provisions are the entire reason YouTube still exists today, as Viacom tried to take them down back in 2009, but youtube was able to prove they had no action to know or stop the uploaders from uploading Viacom's content. Shortly after that case is when they introduced the ContentID system and Google gobbled them up.

Slippery slope with this one. At least in the US. It's known as the safe harbor law, and without it indie sites like Lemmy instances, Peertube, other ActivityPub software and a whole slew of other sites just wouldnt be able to exist due to the sheer amount of corporate bullying that could happen.

I am NOT saying that Spotify should not see public backlash, nor am I saying that Spotify should be allowing this to happen. The analogy that you have provided though would imply that all websites should be responsible for their users actions. That would allow people to completely bankrupt any website by uploading a bunch of Disney movies.

There should be some sort of regulation or safeguard in place. I do agree with that.
