Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

you're on a piracy community but you're licensing your comments?

if you don't respect other's licences, why should they respect yours?

Not gonna lie... That little link is funny to me.

On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I'm caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it's written off a business expense.

Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?

None of those examples have any relation to the ignorance of these licensing links.

What "ignorance"? The licensing link is added manually. I've read it.

Also what's the point of being anti-ai when you're already anti-cpyright?

The issue isn't generative AI, its capitalism. The AI just makes capitalism's bad parts more efficient, or is at least supposed to.

I don't believe you want a genuine answer. You've already made a decision, so no matter what I say, you won't agree with it 🤷 There's no need to continue.

Almost as if context matters, huh? 🤷

Well that's an assumption...

They don’t make money out of copyright and are a person not corporation.

In my private ethical code this is valid.

What's wrong with trying to prevent companies scrape your data? How is that antithetical to piracy?
