> A youtube copyright notice / copyright strike is not the same as a DMCA takedown. Yes it is. YouTube doesn’t magically get to ignore the DMCA, so their process is built around that (along with layering Content ID on top to allow for a middle ground where videos can stay up but redirect some or all monetization to the copyright holder). If you click through the link I posted above, you’ll get to this page which show…

Hmmm. I see what you say. You convinced me! Thank you.

Isn't this very strong evidence in favor of a thesis that HN hates? That the most important networks (like YouTube) ought to be decentralized? Unfortunately, a strike in favor of the blockchain people — the best of which have been working to find ways to keep systems permanently decentralized (and not just temporarily decentralized, like Bluesky/Nostr/Mastodon/SMTP/etc.).

A genuine question: can you clarify what you mean by temporarily decentralized? Seeing SMTP lumped in the same category as Bluesky made me realize I don't know what you mean. The best argument in your favor is that Gmail captured 80% market share. Or that hosting your own mail server is a full-time job. However, this doesn't mean email isn't decentralized.

> Or that hosting your own mail server is a full-time job.

Many others have said so in the past, but I think it's worth saying again: this isn't true. With a good foundation in system administration, hosting an email server is not a full-time job; it's barely part-time.

I self-host an email server for myself; it has reasonable spam protection plus calendar and contacts synchronization. Gmail, Fastmail, GMX etc. accepts my outgoing emails. It took me around three days full-time to learn everything and set it up (from starting the virtual machine to fully working) and then an hour or two each month after that to keep it maintained. Please feel welcome to say hello with it :)

Every year it becomes clearer that Idiocracy was indeed a documentary.

There is something subtly wrong with the world as presented in that "documentary" in general it is that somebody has to keep the lights on, the machines running, that is, there is too much working infrastructure for the citizens ability level. I suspect the big corporations maintain a hidden educated population and are happy to run the world from the shadows. Now honestly it is just a goofy movie premise, and we shou…

It could be that many people just died in between and there's a lot of remaining operational equipment that past smart people built. Costco is massive.

The year is 2030. After the AI bot wars, FaceBook and Google have been crippled. They let AI automation control their content and it was deleted after OpenAI GPT10 discovered vulnerabilities in automated copyright strikes. Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining.

but don't forget that even after the fall of civilisation, there will still be hope in the form of the probe bearing a vial of Elon Musk's semen to Alpha Centari

Elon is so nuts I can’t decide of this is a joke or something he actually did.

Crazy times we live in.

Except that it has a happy ending, which is so rare in real world situations involving politics and power.

Filing a take down requires a sworn statement of good faith belief the claim is false, so this would appear to be perjury.

And hopefully is punished as such. Too many false claims and YouTube should just block them.

So you're saying that if I'm rich and I want to speed I hire a driver with no money and quietly cover the fine for him? I've always wondered about this loophole in that system.

How often are you getting speeding tickets that having a driver on payroll is cheaper than fines?

Me? Never. Someone really rich? Well, that's my question.

It is certainly helpful to hang up a shingle where all the people are — the mall, the town square, the marketplace — but your patrons should know that a bridge exists to your flagship, your headquarters, your farm, your factory of ideas.

If a farmer stops showing up to a farmers market, no one is going to go to their farm for their specific carrots when there are other carrot farmers at the market. Even if they have the best carrots, that doesn't mean their carrots are sufficiently better to justify the added hassle. If their livelihood comes from the customers at the farmer's market, they need to keep their stall at the market.

Sure. This aligns with my original point. A farmer owns their land (mostly). The farm is the farmer's canonical source for their product.

Farmers don't typically rely on a single farmer's market to sell their product, they participate in many markets, sell wholesale, sell from their farm, and might also have a direct-to-consumer option where they can ship beyond their locality.

Create once, publish everywhere — your land is the canonical source. Markets are for distribution.

Unlike (say) French, English has no central authority determining correct or incorrect usage. Anything literally goes.

Including, unfortunately, this usage of "literally."

What other use of literally is there?

YouTube doesn't have to adjudicate anything. They just have to demote the known bad actors to using the real DMCA process rather than their own system. They can still make a claim under penalty of perjury with a takedown but that won't count as a strike.

There's actually a lot of history (going back at least as far as 2007) that led to the current situation where the DMCA is not the process. In fairness to YouTube, they had significant legal pressure back in the day, including suits and credible threats thereof to go beyond the DMCA... which is exactly what they did. We can speculate to if the current situation is the natural conclusion of those agreements with major…

Yes, YouTube was sold to Google essentially at gunpoint. But since then the balance of power shifted from Hollywood to Google. So they they would benefit from relaxing this policy.
