copyright snowflake

someone who will strike down anything and everything they deem is infringing on their copyright, even if the violation is very minor or can be rebuked. if the attempt fails, most commonly they will then sue the violator. they also might have ulterior motives.
someone : *uses a photo that's in the public domain in whatever*
someone else (copyright snowflake) : YOU CANT USE THAT
someone : uh, I bought this photo off a stock image website
copyright snowflake : I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about that formatting/editing style you're using, thats mine!
someone : its only like 2 seconds ffs, I can just change it or cut it out.
copyright snowflake : sorry! I have to send a strike!

Copyright

Apparently, I could write it on a piece of paper and it would be copyrighted.
Hym "This is the equivalent of a piece of paper. Or writing it on a two-way mirror. If I write something on a two way mirror the guy on the other side of the glass just gets to steal it? And why would I not murder kids over that? Sounds like a copyright to me. Setting up the site as though it were a two-mirror explicitly so you can launder and profiteer? How is that not exactly what is happening here?"

Copyright

"Where (YouTube) merely assists an author in the creative process, its use does not change the copyrightability of the output,"

"Where a human inputs their own copyrightable work and that work is perceptible in the output, they will be the author of at least that portion of the output,"

From an "Ars Technica" article about the copyrightability of art as it relates to AI but I think it applies nicely here.
Hym "And what part of 'Using the existing architecture of narrative-interpreting AI in conjunction with a massive data set and a sophisticated compression algorithm (specifically to cut down on the energy cost)' is imperceptible? That's me. That is the 'they will be the author of AT LEAST that portion of the output. THAT is all that is happening here. The YouTube panhandlers wanted to get me for copyright infringement BUT THEY COULDN'T ESTABLISH INTENT. So they decided to engage in this retaliatory and deliberate and for profit copyright infringement campaign. For the YouTube freaks, the retaliatory nature of the act IS the expression of intent. It's cut and dry. It's no intent vs intent. Full forfeiture and restitution! They are also doing it for ideological reason which is a violation of my first amendment rights! Make the jew news pay for burying the story!"

Copyright Confusion

A state of being caused by the digitisation of society. Basically, nobody knows when they may use online images and videos. So they use it. And get sued. Cue chaos.
Copyright Confusion is no defence against the accusation of copyright violations.
