OP, you reading this wrong on many levels, review the comments and provide proper post on

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

so the community can provide proper feed back if mod is in fact power tripping.

Dbzer0 is explicitly anti-copyright. It's in the sidebar and when you sign up.

It was a mod that did it, not an admin.

It was a community, not the entire site.

Jesus Christ, reading is a thing.

A - That was a mod, not an admin. We didn't do shit.

B - What the hell are you even trying to do, anymore? like genuinely, i have no idea what you're trying to aim for.

edit: Also fuck copyright.

TLDR: OP has no idea the difference between comms and instances, or what the fediverse actually is, and thinks dumbasses trolling AI art comms are doing nothing wrong.

~~DBZer0~~ Two communities in dBZer0 have begun banning people simply for ~~believing in~~ posting apologia for the concept of copyright.

Which, without further context, is still a bit of an overreach IMO, but nowhere near as extreme as your title suggests.

That's like banning people for following the law. That is banning people for following the law.

Lol fuck the law. I wipe my ass with the law. Banning people for following the law is turbo-based when the law is turbo garbage. Again, I don't think that simply apologizing for copyright warrants a ban without further context, but "I was banned for following the law" is a terrible argument and I had to speak out about it.

Are we forgetting a large portion of the fediverse's demographics consist of artists trying to make a damn living?

I was a music producer before going into engineering and I've always been against copyright lol. Copyright is a terrible minefield for doing work in my craft.
