Aww hell no. That's what I get on this address: Diese Webseite ist aus urheberrechtlichen Gründen nicht verfügbar. Zu den Hintergründen informieren Sie sich bitte hier. Basically blocked for copyright reasons. And the 'hier' leads here: https://cuii.info/ueber-uns/ I have less rights to access the information than LLMs have. And they set up this dumb thing in 2021. Is this country evolving backwards?

Use another DNS and you should be fine - it's not blocked on the IP level.

Others have already posted, but the biggest domestic British ISPs block a variety of things, like SciHub, Libgen, Pirate Bay, or Anna's Archive. Coverage varies a lot though, so I assume ISPs have some discretion and enforcement is patchy.

This isn't the case for me with Anna's Archive or Sci-Hub. I use the biggest ISP, and both are fully accessible.

Implementation of this stuff must be very patchy then as both are off on my top 5 provider until I use a VPN. Which makes me wonder why any of the ISPs bother blocking at all, if they can just pick and choose?

It is. They gathered it. They stored it. They served it. That's how data should work and eventually will.

Who created the data?

I don't know. Should I care? Can you provably tell it from the data? Why authorship should have any bearing on what happens with it later?

You argued that gathering of data signals ownership of it. But I don’t know that reasonable people would agree that that’s about framing.

If you’re going to argue data ownership at all, it seems to me the creator of the data is the owner, unless transfer ownership to another person or to the public domain.

On the other hand, I can understand a stand that data can never be “owned”, but I don’t think you are saying that.

Thanks. I also enabled DNS-over-HTTPS for good measure.

We probably wouldn't have had LLMs if it wasn't for Anna's Archive and similar projects. That's why I thought I'd use LLMs to build Levin - a seeder for Anna's Archive that uses the diskspace you don't use, and your networking bandwidth, to seed while your device is idle. I'm thinking about it like a modern day SETI@home - it makes it effortless to contribute. Still a WIP, but it should be working well on Linux, Andr…

Nice project. I think it would be worth mentioning the legal implications, it’s illegally sharing content right? Best to run behind a VPN or on a VPS in a country that won’t come after you.

I haven't heard about someone ever getting a letter for seeding books, but maybe I'm lucky. In any case, I'll add a notice to the README, thank you for the suggestion.

How is the anti-P2P enforcement these days? I think there are companies gathering bittorrent swarm data and selling it to lawyers interested in this sort of bullying. In Finland at least you can expect a mail from one of them if your IP address turns up in this data. However I think it is mostly focused on video and music piracy.

I've heard Finland sends out letters, same with Japan. Are there actual consequences, or can they just be ignored? Norway I haven't heard of anyone getting anything in the past decade. The ISPs supposedly get letters from lawyers but just toss them, since the intersection of the burden of proof and our privacy laws make it such that nothing can really be done. I think there was some ISP that gave out names and IP add…

Living in Sweden and in the Netherlands, I have never heard about any such case. Not sure I'm just lucky or if it's really non-existent.

Yes, I think it's the same in here, you have been able to ignore the letters without any consequence. Also from what I hear, the letters have been very inaccurate. I doubt the IP based proof would hold in the court of law.
