Lol not very imaginative then i suppose? I want to make a fun hobby project for myself and a niche audience. Thats how i can have this idea. And i am simply gauging if this approach could be used without getting fucked with fines and legal issues.

It would be downloadable because im not sure how i would serve it for playback without it also being possible to download. There would be no big “download the song here” button. The goal is not to share song files but to discuss songs i like and allow readers to play along (whole song, parts of song, whatever suits the blog post). Side effect of that is that it would be downloadable.

If you mean that “facilitation of piracy” is anything where someone would be able to obtain an illegal copy of the song then yea sure, but in that case youtube is already the biggest facilitator of piracy there is because it is trivial to download any song from there.

Yea im leaning towards embedding it externally instead - too many uncertainties. Ill see what i can find that could fill the same role i had envisioned :)

That was pretty cool!

Either they tell you very sternly to stop, and you do. If not, they may take action, either against you or your host.

This is mostly what i am hoping will happen - that the first step is always going to give me a chance to comply with a request to remove it.

I mean, if you want to facilitate piracy, that’s one thing, but don’t consult social media about it — consult a lawyer instead.

On the contrary, it is not to facilitate piracy (as in the goal is not to serve files for illegal download), it will include links to legal avenues of purchase and download. Its just that i am thinking about a particular style of embedding this within a blog post that would require me to host the file on my own server - and then that song would be downloadable for anyone who want to (even though i have no explicit “download button”).

Cheers - it is the “practical answer” that i hope will be the case, ie being able to comply with a request to take it down. I am fine with complying with this. In most cases it will be single songs from some artist i enjoy listening to with links to their pages on bandcamp or qobuz or the like where any reader could purchase the full album drm free.

My impression was that most countries have been forced to implement similar dmca laws (as per corey doctorow’s account at least)? I thought that most of these things were enforceable cross-border

However, what I would do is go ahead and then wait for the DMCA request. I think you could then decide what action to take going forward.

Id be fine taking stuff down if there was a request, but id then want to only take down whatever song/songs triggered the request. Just dont wanna be on the hook for a lot of fines before i had the chance to respond.

You could provide links to YouTube, SoundCloud, Qobuz and loads more like ReverbNation (mainly for new/upcoming artists), with links to online tools for downloading etc.

The idea is to make it pretty integrated and keep things inside the blog post with a simple player widget. And im not a big fan of spotify and youtube etc so would want to avoid linking to them if possible. I intend to include links for legal purchase and downloads of the song (+ full album and any other thing from the same artist/band, on qobuz or bandcamp and similar sites that sell drm-free music).

What would be the best way to run this on a rpi5?

Ah didnt think to check what the deck could do. Not sure what 6x more powerful means though but it looks like it will be sufficient for what i want to do

Ttd was a joke btw 😅

Nice! Id probably play on 1440p unless i get a new monitor before i could get my hands on one (my current monitor is acting up so that might happen)

Ok thanks! Is it related to proton or is it just for native games?

Can anyone eli5 what the steam runtime actually does? Ive seen scout and sniper on my system and i kinda accept that it has to be there but what does it do?

Will i be able to run the following games with pretty high gfx settings?

Cyberpunk
Jedi fallen order and sequel
Baldurs gate 3
Clair Obscure
Star citizen (i know its a scam but i wanna fly around in spaceships)
Transport tycoon deluxe

Love pcsx2!

Same here - every friday rotating around a group of friend’s houses playing this, super smash, soul calibur, the bond fpses (agent under fire and nightfire) etc. Perfect!

2007. Super mario galaxy, portal and mass effect 1. Rip that feeling i will never again exeperience

Not a big fan of this whole good vs evil mythic stuff and destinies etc. Ok storyline for another more fantasy oriented show but i feel this is a little weak for a scifi show. Preferred the quirky episodes in this season.

I generally make sure to spend my money one contemporary artists or authors (who are not already filthy rich, if they are already super well-off i dont contribute to increasing that wealth and instead buy something else) and try to maxmize the amount of money that falls to them. You could also find ways to donate directly to these artists and then pirate their stuff to your hearts content (from my ethical point of view anwyay, law will not agree with me). Ive also first pirated stuff and then bought it later and just replaced the files on my media server.

I dont really care about big corporations or some random rights holder long after someones death. So any big studio movie or old rock bands get pirated.

Sorry i was only making a joke, not hating on you :)

And is owned by an ad company afaik
