I would legitimately watch robot boxing.

It has nothing at all to do with religion, not even a little. Without religion, they find a different excuse to do exactly the same thing with no change.

Yeah, I wouldn’t watch it. I also don’t watch boxing or football. They probably should have shut them down if they are policing their streams at all.

Okay. Fine. Who do you want to have control of what you can see, hear and read?

People never think of that. They always clamor for censorship, always thinking censorship will go their way and censor the things they don’t like. Since the police already went to where this guy was and determined that he was there of his own volition, I don’t think the streaming services should have any other responsibility. The streaming services should always err on the side of not censoring anything.

Well. Devil’s advocate, they are holding the streaming service responsible because they didn’t block the stream, which presumably would presumably disrupt the streamer’s actions. I don’t personally think Kick should be responsible at all.

Europe includes lots of countries, so there is no one “law” just various ones sprinkled throughout. In Britain people are arrested “for sending messages that cause “annoyance”, “inconvenience” or “anxiety” to others via the internet, telephone or mail.” using section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and Section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988. That has a pretty chilling effect on speech. Convictions are more rare than arrests, but the constant threat of arrest is almost as bad as a conviction…

Draconian laws make me happy to be an American… We are getting bad, but have a ways to go before we catch up with Britain and Europe.

It means what it means, “freely” pulls its own weight. I didn’t say “readily” accessible. Torrents could be viewed as “readily” accessible but it couldn’t be viewed as “freely” accessible because at the very least you bear the guilt of theft. Library books are “freely” accessible, and if somehow the training involved checking out books and returning them digitally, it should be fine. If it is free to read into neurons it is free to read into neural systems. If payment for reading is expected then it isn’t free.

If you try to sell “the new adventures of Doctor Strange, Jonathan Strange and Magic Man.” existing copyright laws are sufficient and will stop it. Really, training should be regulated by the same laws as reading. If they can get the material through legitimate means it should be fine, but pulling data that is not freely accessible should be theft, as it is already.
