Hey, Jason, you want to go to Mexico with me?

It'll be fun.

The Dollar Vigilante doesn't think it's that bad.

The admiral of alcohol strikes again.

I do LOOOVE Mexican food and their ketamine.

I do not like their music. It all sounds the same. I'd like it if it sounded like this.

I love Salma Hayek (top 20 of all time!) but I'm afraid most of their women are short and barrel shaped, though often with sweet faces (while younger, like most).

I'd also like to visit Valebare, the cinematographer, or more precisely, his models and animals used for the 200y Mexican Independence propaganda. His YouTube videos are now all "unavailable", widely re-purposed for epic music videos and such - just gorgeous - and epic. And now generally scrubbed from the interwebs. (I archived his channel 2019-08. When I set up my own PeerTube I'll share it, though I may have to make it private to avoid copyright hassle. Perhaps /u/d3rr has more insights on this matter.)

Last time I was there was Juarez, 2007, before shit got craycray, driving from Austin to the Grand Canyon to SF with thousands invested in liquid K. That investment co-funded the film I was directing.

Hahah these guys are nuts and they have an accordion. With PeerTube, you can field the DMCA claims and decide to act or decide to do nothing and risk getting cancelled by your host/ISP. Freedom!

How much do you have to keep up on the YMCA stuff? Do they give you hours, days, weeks? Are they spaz about it or just an annoying mosquito? How much do you have to pull down (or put to private)?

It's really a hugely upsetting process, it's guilty until proven innocent and is un-American. Really though it isn't shit until someone targets you and tries to de-platform you with a DMCA attack, like what happened here with IP2.

I think you get like a week. It's all per url/per video, but they can claim many videos are in violation if they want.

It becomes very serious if they get ahold of your ISP and your ISP gives you an ultimatum or ban. I wasn't trying to get you paranoid about it, but it is something to consider when evaluating LBRY/non-self-hosted vs. self hosted.

Methinks the future of fighting back will be the ability to stay nimble- hopping countries and ip addresses for the same content, and using mirrors like the pirate bay.

(not to discourage home hosting, but maybe you need a proxy/conduit that is changing ips on top of your home ip)

Or "un-Canadian". I'd be more un-Canadian if I could, but we don't hear that, so I have no examples to look up to. Most Canadians are deluded into believing we're free from the UK, yet the Queen is still on our money and we're all considered subjects. Further, the Canuck ruling class swear vows to the Queen too. Anyway, fuck them, and back to YMCA...

I didn't realize the IP2 thing was about DMCA. I thought it was about threats and doxxing and stuff.

I haven't checked my email (other than for registering passwords or shopping) for about a year. I suck at it and dread it. My 600 messages here almost feel as odious. Worst is I mean to take the time to respond properly to the important ones and they too often get buried when I just respond to the easy ones. I suck.

I'm not paranoid about it, just curious. If they try shit I'll try to find a way around it. Re-present it* employing "fair use" or maybe host a private members club or something. We need to keep finding ways to push back.

I figure they'll get me if they want to. Doesn't mean I should make it easy for them. Torrenting prolly isn't good in that regard, especially without a VPN (trap?). I think we should start our own VPN(s) too.

* Here's a hack of an idea: A script takes 20 videos and 1 banned taboo video, embeds 10 second clips of the taboo video and embeds it into those 20 videos at specific moments. Share those new 20 videos. Viewers download the 20 videos, run the extraction script on them, and watch the entire taboo video. Random 20 videos would work for a while, but then it would be obvious. Eventually you might need to have 20 videos that generically discuss media analysis, so then they say vague things after the clip like "What did you think about that?" I wouldn't expect that to be a good defense for long so more specific content analysis would likely be needed for each clip. Of course there could be other encryption stuff too. It's the war they're pushing on us.

Years ago I followed Cory Doctorow for a while. Loved his lectures on copyright activism. He used to say it's at the top of most important fights he knew of. At the time I was, "But muh climate." Now I think he's right.

Ah, yes, nimble. Akin to my thoughts.

Jimmy Dore is oddly appealing for someone who wants to destroy everything that was ever good about America. Maybe it's his apparent sincerity? Maybe it's how he maintains his sense of humor? Whatever it is, you just have to like the guy.

You think American corruption, hypocrisy, and war are good?

Not to mention exploitative healthcare and endless suffering.

At the very least, you've got to admit Cenk Uger is not good.

At the very least, I would admit that Cenk Uger is not good. I would go orders of magnitude beyond that, but sure, that would be the very least.

As for Jimmy Dores beliefs, agenda, and associates, I'm familiar.
