Not really the same thing. "Lifetime warranties" have for decades now referred to the lifetime of the product as stated in the warranty, not the lifetime of the consumer.

Any consumer still interpreting "Lifetime" in this context to mean "the rest of my life", is just being stupid. Read the terms of the agreement before assuming you know what it protects...

"Perpetual licensing" on the other hand, is pretty clearly defined as "pay once, use forever", so to sunset that agreement and start charging subscription fees is fraudulent.

Dennis is explaining that having sex with a woman is easier on a boat because of "the implications". Mac asks him if he means the implication of rape, and Dennis unconvincing argues against that characterization.

Further context: Dennis is a sociopath, and generally a bad person.

I suspect that this was something of a test case, with the regulator flexing their censorship muscle, and I'm glad it didn't work out.

This was a POV stabbing video that people spread around to glorify violence. It's in the same category as beheading videos.

America may have decided that child porn is the only media exception to free speech, but other more sane countries draw the line a little bit more broadly to include all forms of extremely violent crime filmed to be glorified, including things like murder, attempted murder, torture, and the rape of adults.

If you want to operate a business in places like Australia or New Zealand, you cannot be distributing violent gore videos within their borders.

I hope they revisit this as X users are pretty routinely celebrating things like the Christchurch shooting and other violent extremist incidents. Sometimes censorship makes sense, and when people are antagonistically spreading videos of people being maimed and killed, the "free speech" argument absolutely doesn't fucking cut it.

Sometimes, yeah. In the age of streaming, this is happening all the time, sometimes for good.

Netflix altered all of the old episodes of Umbrella Academy so they wouldn't deadname Elliot Page.

HBO would patch Game of Thrones episodes to remove mistakes after fans saw them. The infamous bottled water is gone if you stream it today.

These are shows, but it's trivial to do with any streaming media.

The phenomenon of video games being released in an unfinished state and then elying on updates over time is a unique aspect of gaming culture. Something other forms of art and media like film, music, or literature would never really rely upon.

As for everything else you've said, you're just marveling over the basics of software-as-art in an internet-connected world.

Yeah, it works, but it's really quite clunky...

Tl;Dr: Sharing Nude scenes out-of-context are considered a form of involuntary pornography in Denmark (portraying artistic nudity as pornography) and this man was arrested for compiling and sharing nude scenes of Danish actors from Danish films and sharing them while inside Denmark...

This has nothing to do with film studio profits or piracy, this is a man who ran afowl of his home country's laws about pornography.

And to be fair, a woman appearing nude in a film doesn't mean that sexualizing the shit out of her publicly isn't scummy fucked up behavior. I think I understand the law here.

Amazingly, this is an actual photograph. It was published by Pearson. Also, there's a back:

Who is that woman on the right? Are we supposed to recognize her or something?

 

That "uncensored" HuggingFace Space probably isn't even hooked up to a real GPU. It's just some guy named Bob eager to narrate your sexual fantasies.

 
 
 

He looks like his parents.
