It might not violate GDPR, but there’s still copyright to it. Reddit haven’t provided consideration in exchange for the rights they claim to your comment - access to the website is offered free of charge, regardless of whether you post.
Granted, that’s a different avenue entirely, you’d have to take them to court for selling your work to train AI.
If they still have your comments on the site then you still have a claim.
If they don’t have the comments on the site, they probably do still retain the content secretly and technically you would have a claim, but it would be impossible to prove.
Yeah .tv is a little too mainstream, .to might be a better haven. Or any of the other small TLD’s.
Still no real answers about what’s happened.
At least 3 backups, 2 different media, 1 offsite location.
Air Canada argued that it can’t be held liable for information provided by one its “agents, servants or representatives — including a chatbot.”
What a load of bullshit. If you speak to someone working for a company, they are an agent of the company and the company is liable for what they say. That’s true of a person or a chat bot - arguably it is more true of a chat bot or web page, as they have ample opportunity to ensure its responses are correct beforehand.
Probably to do with the recent spam wave.

The irony of claiming the funeral industry are the victims of money grabbing.
You said a lot of shit, then in your 6th comment you finally explained that the feature was hidden away and can be restored. Then, I downloaded the app, found other issues that prevented me from verifying directly, but also found a support thread or something that explained how to restore it. I then reported back and admitted my mistake.
You said a lot of shit and threw a lot of insults before you eventually said something worthwhile. So I got something out of this, even if you have been and are a complete and total asshat. I’m better for having this conversation, meanwhile you’re still just as pathetic as you were 2 days ago - with nothing to give hope that you’ll ever improve.
For it to be a lie, I would have had to have known it was wrong to begin with. My immediate reversal when presented with the correct information (again, after 6 comments of bullshit) proves that I wasn’t lying.
Meanwhile, the fact that every single comment you’ve delivered has had pathetic insults (ad hominem much?) proves you are an asshat.
What did I lie about? I honestly held a misconception, and when you eventually got around to correcting that, I immediately owned up.
I didn’t resort to ad hominem, as much as you would like to use that buzzword to try and claw back a position when you’ve already lost the argument. I just got fed up with your incessant bad behaviour and had little choice but to call it out.
Apparently you’re not only an asshat, you’re also a sore loser. Not that this was ever about winning or losing for me, I just wanted to discuss the merits of ideas, but you apparently came here to shit all over other people. You should go hang out with seagulls, maybe they’ll teach you better aim - they’re certainly more respecatble than you.
Lmfao me calling out your bad behaviour is not an insult, nor is it in any way bad behaviour itself. Calling out bad behaviour is not an excuse for you to turn around and cry that you’re a victim.
You have behaved like an asshat for however many and every single comment you’ve delivered to me.
I’m not hurt, I’m entertained.
Before you jumped into this conversation, it was about Plex vs Jellyfin, about open source vs closed source, and about what it takes to get open source up to the same level.
You proved me wrong about one small point. It took you 6 comments to actually deliver that. I straight away verified that, owned up, and reframed my argument in line with the facts.
I understand it might be hard to keep track, you spew a lot of bullshit. I guess that’s why you and your various alts have been banned all across the major lemmy instances. Lol, it’s pretty funny that it seems like even hexbear were justified in banning you.
Still no comment about the trackers, I see.
You didn’t provide a correction until your 6th comment. You said a lot of bullshit before then. I made one mistake, after initially focusing on the merits of open source communities vs closed source businesses.
I haven’t spread fear, I made a mistake, which I’ve owned up to. 4 times now. Yet, you continue to be an asshat, with each and every comment. At this point I’m just curious to see how long you keep that up.
Pretty sure it was this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Corp._of_America_v._Universal_City_Studios,_Inc. Sony were actually the defendant, with their Betamax format. It does seem to focus primarily on time-shifting, ie recording live to watch later, however the reason for this was that the content was already available to the viewer and thus the copying should be permitted fair use. The Supreme Court also quoted Mr Rogers’ testimony in their ruling.
“Some public stations, as well as commercial stations, program the ‘Neighborhood’ at hours when some children cannot use it. I think that it’s a real service to families to be able to record such programs and show them at appropriate times. I have always felt that, with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the ‘Neighborhood’ off the air, and I’m speaking for the ‘Neighborhood’ because that’s what I produce, that they then become much more active in the programming of their family’s television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions.’ Maybe I’m going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”
Applying this reasoning to new technologies has since been debated back and forth through the decades with little clear resolution. Subsequent cases have sided with the rightsholders (eg against Grokster and Limewire), but the reasoning behind them was all over the place. They addressed the purpose of file sharing technology and concluded that those services existed primarily to facilitate copyright infringement, rather than addressing the matter of personal backups.
It never used to be a crime. Bastard lobbyists!
Technically Step 2 should be legal, as covered by the old VCR case law (I think it involved Sony). Making a backup of a VHS tape or audio casette was legal, thus it should be legal for other formats, also.
However the sneaky bastards then went and lobbied for a law that makes it illegal to circumvent DRM. So, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with writing the raw files to a drive, but if you have to crack the DRM to get the files to play then you’re definitely doing something unlawful.
Disclaimer: “should” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in my comment lol what I say is not in any way legal advice. Also, it could be that the VHS law was more about “time-shifting”, ie recording live TV so that you could watch it at a more convenient time.
Copyright also used to only be a civil offense, meaning law enforcement wouldn’t come after you, but a rightsholder might. However, they lobbied over that as well and ended up with a relatively low bar - if the value is over something like $1,000 then it’s automatically considered commercial and “criminal” copyright infringement.
You think I’m making up the trackers? I’ve verified this using 3 different tools.
De-googled =/= does not have any Google Play Services. Apparently you’ve still got some remnants leftover. I prefer never having it installed to begin with.
I used the service before, I don’t anymore. I’ve not made anything up, I was mistaken about something, then as soon as you brought up the ability to restore the purchase I went and checked - only to find bigger issues (trackers and an inability to sign in).
I’ve engaged in good faith. You’ve done nothing but act like an asshat, from the moment you jumped into this thread.
I have the apk, I had it before my previous reply. It won’t let me sign in because it requires Google Play Services. I’ve tried with multiple internet connections and using different DNS settings. My Plex account works fine on the website.
Even if I could sign in, I have my doubts whether it would let me restore the purchase, again because I do not have Google Play Services.
The app also includes at least 6 trackers, including 2 from Facebook:
Like I say, you’re probably right about the Plex app still having the functionality. My mistake. I still prefer not to use Plex services for a number of reasons.
In any case, you’ve behaved like a complete asshat the entire time I’ve been speaking with you, so this will be my last reply.
The relevant points:
There’s a bit of editorialising that’s a little too disguised in between facts, but that’s not unusual for Tech Crunch. They’re apparently trying to push against Google’s filing and the arguing that they are indeed a monopoly - not that they’re wrong, mind.
