Bard spotting on Bluesky 07 September 2024

David Buchanan (@retr0.id):

well, now we know what copyright infringement takedowns look like on bluesky, heh

(curious if this is proactive, or at request of rights holders)

seguinte pessoal, notícia triste e totalmente inesperada, o gab do clubdodrive teve a conta aqui no bluesky com 38k suspensa e banida sem nenhum tipo de aviso prévio, infelizmente acho que é só questão de tempo pra minha e pra dos outros drives cair tbm :(

aqui tá o e-mail que ele recebeu:

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦 (@mackuba.eu):

What did they do?

morb (@meson.ninja):

"his telegram where he will be informing you about the next steps (link)

as for me, at first I will be returning to tw (twitter link), I will delete all the posts with films from here to avoid losing the account, my catalog with all the links is in the link in the bio."

morb (@meson.ninja):

guess they posted links to content offsite?

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦 (@mackuba.eu):

I wonder if just linking to copyrighted content elsewhere is technically illegal?…

Castilho (@castilho.bsky.social):

how you violate copyright on a site that only lets you upload static images 😂

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

US law doesn't stop at "it's just a link, it can't be illegal"; the courts here consider what purpose someone has for linking to content.

If an account is clearly structured to aid & abet copyright infringement, providers will suspend service, to avoid being considered an accomplice
