Then they said "Oh nvm we can push a button to turn off Pillar #2 if we feel like it" Why would you act surprised that this would upset the people they were trying to reassure by creating Pillar #2 in the first place

not an issue of surprise. bootlickers & copyright trolls will do their thing regardless. an expected action does not absolve them of being called out for BS. IA acted for the good of the people, for a limited time. keeping the other limits in place, which they didn't have to.

The idea that the Three Pillars of CDL are an act of voluntary generosity toward authors and publishers and they "didn't have to" abide by it is exactly why they're getting sued

Like the publishers aren't stupid, they can see how people talk about this shit, they know what direction it's going in if they don't push back

you mean where authors and other content creators have ACTUAL control over their creations, not just subject to the whims of megacorporations that tell them what they can and can't do with their work?

Uhhhh how does CDL give authors "control over their creations" Chuck Wendig is an author, not a megacorporation, and people's response to him saying "I didn't consent for my work to end up here" was "cry moar"

authors could request to have their book removed, which made the whining just that. a button press and problem solved. and i was referring to copyright overall, which is really what they are trying to maintain control of.

IA never contacted writers directly asking them for their consent They treated the takedowns as a *courtesy* they were doing for specific writers who found out about it and got upset Not as something the writers had a *right* to demand

Replying to @arthur_affect @Raptornx01 and
Because if IA actually needed their consent then they needed to ask them before they did it, and just going ahead and doing it and waiting to see if they found out or complained was a massive violation of consent That's how consent works

(And the fact that the tech industry in general works this way - "Move fast, break stuff", "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" - is why people hate this culture Uber straightforwardly violating taxicab regulations and then retroactively changing the laws)

Anyway when you say you want authors to have "control" you're just blatantly lying Like you didn't just say on this same thread that when an individual author ever sends a C&D to anyone they deserve to have the full force of the Streisand Effect hit them for being a prick

i didn't say deserve, i said thats what WOULD happen, and usually does. true piracy is almost always passive. and its levels running concurrent with level of popularity. it's usually a gauge of popularity, and can often help increase it. but ofcourse, if you go asking for trouble
