Sort of except the fact that he wants to be a dictator. Tariffs require no approval from Congress and it’s the only peaceful offensive weapon he has at his disposal.

He knows better (at least let’s hope he does) than to send troops anywhere for 90 days.

Yeah but no one uses wordpad. They put it in notepad for the exact reason you’re saying: because people use it.

“The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it.”

Does Amazon have permission to change what’s in your book though?

Copyright prevents them from making derivative works and if they change your text without your permission, that’s a clear copyright violation.

I don’t know how licensing deals work with Amazon but I’m guessing if they are doing this en mass, there is probably some provision in their contract.

Thank you for this post and encouragement. I am open to volunteering my time and talents to help people find Lemmy.

However, after the work is done, it would be fantastic if you all could invest in advertising. I know that Google and Bing aren’t great but if I had to guess, search trend for “reddit alternatives” is probably rising and Lemmy is in a great spot to provide reddit refuges a life raft.

The CC requires copyright holders to contact companies that violate the license and give them 30 days to remediate.

I highly doubt:

• people who put the CC-BY-NC license in their comment will troll AI bots to see if their specific comments are being used
• those same people can prove to the company that their comment was used
• the company will actually take them at their word and remove their comments from their training data
• even if all of the above are true, can afford an attorney let alone sustain that attorney through the case
• even if all of the above are true, prevail in a court of law

I think people adding the license is fine. It’s your comment. Do whatever. I don’t think it’s as harmful as sovereign citizens using their own license plate for “traveling”.
