Rules

Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

DBZer0 has begun banning people simply for believing in the concept of copyright (archive.ph)

Advocating piracy is one thing, but now banning people for believing in copyright? That's like banning people for following the law. That is banning people for following the law. What gives? And to think a while ago I declared I wouldn't have any reason to not take their bans (or the motives behind them) seriously.

Are we trying to get world governments to ban Lemmy (or, worse, the fediverse)? Love the administrative decisions or hate them, such decisions will drag down the whole fediverse. Typically sites are defederated to protect the sites defederating them from liability. Will this be an example, or does this, out of convenience, not apply? Are we forgetting a large portion of the fediverse's demographics consist of artists trying to make a damn living?

well of course you dont care, your music apparently has no monetary value (which is fine, but why would you care about copyright when your music makes no money?)

Do you even realize you just disqualified yourself from productive discussion

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

You assume that was my goal

Copyright didn't help him since he never made any money off his own work, what discussion is there to have? Why would someone without anything they need to protect, care. Ofc he doesn't like copyright

Because it makes sampling extremely legally treacherous.

your music apparently has no monetary value

Almost correct. Strictly speaking, people have paid for my music. Also...last time I checked, Bandcamp had a policy where I was only allowed to offer a limited amount of free downloads and then I would have to pay them to offer my work for free. So I think it is behind the minimum paywall right now, which means it has nonzero monetary value. Which makes me a hypocrite. Shock-horror. But more than a hypocrite... I've just been too busy to check on my Bandcamp account since I went back to school. If anyone knows of a free and federated alternative to Bandcamp, please let me know.

Music, like all art and information, should be free for anyone to use and consume. Simultaneously, musicians should be compensated for their work, and I provided other ways that musicians are currently compensated for their work (merch and live shows) in the current system. Frankly , these are much more robust ways to make money.

But more accurately, everyone should have access to the resources they need to survive by virtue of being human, regardless of their success in their chosen field. Full stop.

No monetary value? Check this trick out:

If their music was commercially available, I'd pay double of what the most popular music is sold for on commercial platforms.

Edit: Haha what an ass 3dmvr@lemm.ee aka. known as r.EndTimes is, didn't like my comment so they downvoted my two unrelated comments about AI in a different post. Yeah, I can understand why lemm.ee is shutting down with the users being the main reason lol.
