--- Quote from: Red Squirrel on February 07, 2020, 02:36:46 am ---Wow that blows but I'm sadly not surprised. IP law sucks and only caters to the rich. As stupid as it is, it probably is infringement as lot of that tech is probably considered "secret". It kind of goes with the right to repair stuff. In some cases it's illegal for you to open or modify a product. Ex: John Deere stuff. So this probably falls under that. When you own this equipment you're just buying a license to use it, you don't actually own the product. I absolutely hate this crap myself and don't agree with it. Could maybe win if you fought it and had enough money to throw at a lawyer, but not sure if it's worth it. That's the big issue with IP law, it only really caters to the rich. Even if they are legally in the wrong it costs the defendant too much money to win. --- End quote --- There is a lot of misunderstanding in this post. There are two ways to protect 'trade knowledge'. One of them is patent - your idea is legally protected from others using it for profit but you must release full details which are filed at the patent office for anyone interested to read. The other is trade secret, which is protected only by civil agreements (ie. both parties agree to not tell anyone about the thing); it doesn't protect against reverse engineering or other parties that have not agreed to the secrecy sharing information on it that they obtain by legal means (such as tearing down a legally purchased item). Right to repair is about legislation stopping companies from creating technical (cryptographic locks) or policy (refusing to sell replacement parts, especially when cryptographic locks exist) roadblocks, it's not about making things legal that previously weren't. It is never 'illegal' to open a product you own or modify it, but it may be made difficult with strong encryption, etc. - this is no different than using security screws as far as legality is concerned - it doesn't change what it is legal for you to do, it just makes it more challenging. The one caveat here is the DMCA in the US may apply to some cryptographic protections if they can successfully argue that it is a 'copy protection mechanism', which is a huge stretch for a tractor DRMing parts. Lexmark lost a case they brought on similar grounds. But in general, if you own a thing legally, you can do whatever you want with it other than copy and distribute it (if it is a work protected by copyright). |

Not exactly the same thing, but Louis Rossman is dealing with this B.S. all the time. It's a miracle his channel continues to exist given the number of corporations (and now lobbyists) he ticks off. One thing Louis does is he doesn't shut up and hide in the corner about it, but gets even more vocal and produces several more videos about it. I think people realise that if they are going to mess with Louis, he will just keep making more and more video rants about it. :-DD Perhaps this can be a lesson to those which have to deal with this kind of abuse of the YouTube system. |

I do not like how YT is managing videos but everybody (me included) are watching 99% just YT stuff. --- Quote from: edy on February 07, 2020, 03:51:47 am ---Not exactly the same thing, but Louis Rossman is dealing with this B.S. all the time.

It could also be reuploaded by anynone to YT, but somebody would need to have downloaded it first :-// Good case for downloading anything you want to last instead of trusting hosting companies to keep it available to you indefinitely ;) |

When you download from Youtube it's not the same quality you uploaded it in. |
