When yall gonna arrest Sam Altman?
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.
According to the publication, police discovered that the leaker gained unauthorized remote access to the server on which the animated film was stored, leading him to allegedly download and upload clips of the film online.
This happened in Singapore I guess, but assuming they have similar laws to the US than this would be unlawful access of a computer system.
Singapores legal system doesn’t mess around either. Dang
I’m out of the loop here, I thought Paramount emailed a link to the file, now he’s a hacker?
However, a report from the Hollywood Reporter revealed that the leak didn’t come from within Paramount but from a hacker from PeggleCrew—the same troupe behind an infamous 2016 cyberattack on the hosting website FossHub.
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.
Bu-but how can you talk bad about Japan? Isn’t Japan a paradise where nothing bad happen and everybody is happy? /s
…no?
