Comment already done that... (Score 0) 65

I already coded my own engine. Sadly a fire eat my homework last weekend. Some spinoffs are still available at itch.io: https://terop.itch.io/gameapi-... so if you're going to compare my work to borderlands 4, please be my guest. Competition is raising it's ugly head again, and we have some performance optimization pressures for all engine developers.

Task for everyone: use our tech to create a trailer or game prototype and implement your dreams. We'll be evaluating the end result once it hits the market.

Comment sloppy practices (Score -1) 97

Of course music in youtube gets copyright strikes, otherwise the record companies cannot compete in the market against real hobbyists. Youtube is a haven for pirates, given that there's upload button where youtube is not able to check videos for copyright infringement before publishing it to the grannies. Since upload button is what pirates use, anyone pressing the said button can be assumed to be a filthy copyright pirate. If any genuine authors are in youtube, they should have known that pressing upload button might make record companies give you a pirate status, given that only pirates and filthy criminals are uploading pirate material to our favourite video site.

Comment manufacturer should be sued... (Score 0) 40

Lol at these manufacturers? They're complaining the youtuber used pirated rom files to hack the gadgets before showing them to the youtube community? That sounds like a significant failure from the manufacturer? Shouldn't the manufacturer be sued for _allowing_ pirated material to be used? If they cannot control the pirated rom usage, that's exclusively on the manufacturer... But guess the manufacturer wanted to benefit from the pirate community, and failed to build even rudimentary protection against pirates...

There just isn't enough real world problems that need my main skill of category theory. And even if there were, none of the people who decide stuff can figure out that almost everything in software engineering is essentially a category theory problem. So because math/science/programming folks are not able to do the decisions themselves, but some management layer without proper science education is doing all the decisions, all these nice solutions are not being used in designing and implementing real products.

But once rejected, what did the software developers develop instead of artificial intelligence? Our solution was to do "games", more accurately, "game engine development" and developing gltf rendering functionality and a toolbox for customizing the gamedev output easily with a tool called "GameApi Builder".

ISPs Tell Supreme Court They Don't Want To Disconnect Users Accused of Piracy (arstechnica.com) 72

Posted by msmash from the tussle-continues dept.
Joe_Dragon shares a report: Four more large Internet service providers told the US Supreme Court this week that ISPs shouldn't be forced to aggressively police copyright infringement on broadband networks. While the ISPs worry about financial liability from lawsuits filed by major record labels and other copyright holders, they also argue that mass terminations of Internet users accused of piracy "would harm innocent people by depriving households, schools, hospitals, and businesses of Internet access."

The legal question presented by the case "is exceptionally important to the future of the Internet," they wrote in a brief filed with the Supreme Court on Monday. The amici curiae brief was filed by Altice USA (operator of the Optimum brand), Frontier Communications, Lumen (aka CenturyLink), and Verizon. The brief supports cable firm Cox Communications' attempt to overturn its loss in a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by Sony. Cox petitioned the Supreme Court to take up the case last month.

Sony and other music copyright holders sued Cox in 2018, claiming it didn't adequately fight piracy on its network and failed to terminate repeat infringers. A US District Court jury in the Eastern District of Virginia ruled in December 2019 that Cox must pay $1 billion in damages to the major record labels. Cox won a partial victory when the US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit vacated the $1 billion verdict, finding that Cox wasn't guilty of vicarious infringement because it did not profit directly from infringement committed by users of its cable broadband network. But the appeals court affirmed the jury's finding of willful contributory infringement and ordered a new damages trial.
