Film studios demand IP addresses of people who discussed piracy on Reddit

  • I found an excruciatingly manual method of extracting comics which I purchased, but it works well

    To make it a lot simpler, a Discord user made a script (with the help of AI) which takes the scrambled .jpg image and the tag (e.g. 3,4,7,14,0,13,12,11,6,10,2,8,15,5,1,9) and then uses ImageMagick to unscramble that image. Then I may have to edit the image manually (the edges for example are not scrambled so I have to edit those in)

    I'd love to share the script with those who use Honto and would benefit from it, just gotta know if it's alright with this community

  • Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.
  • I'm doing my part in opting out of copyright because fuck capitalism

    I'd be publishing written works in the public domain but I like to be attributed, so copyleft will do for now, it's catchy

  • It's for our own good though!
  • Yup, pretty much my whole family uses Facebook. Well, mom doesn't but she uses Instagram which is the same as Facebook but for images

    Even my younger sister has Facebook, what has this world become

  • There are a couple of files, actually.

    This is the root directory.

    Then, I go to the epub directory.

    META-INF contains these files...

    ...and item has these files.

    image and xhtml folders have the same amount of files (137), but the former has them in the jpg format, while the latter has them in the xhtml format.

    Sorry for haphazardly explaining it like this, I'm on mobile.

  • Need help breaking honto.jp's DRM

    I purchased an ebook (two of them, actually) from some Japanese site called honto, but of course, stupid old me didn't realise that Digital Restrictions Management was going to make my life a living hell. Has anyone had any luck with cracking them, or did I just spend 730 Yen on a nothingburger?

    !Link

    Apparently, there are some local files on my phone from "doenloading" the ebook, but they won't load. In the browser I had a little more luck, but the images are scrambled when I attempt to "inspect element".

    What do I do? I really want to get this to work...

  • Oh, nothing, it's just me beginning to notice it. Nothing really happened

  • [Discussion] Nearly all anime is copyrighted. What gives?
  • Unexpected? Well, it seems that way from the way I commented. I just want to find one example where something isn't willingly protected under copyright law in Japan (it's easier to find such media in the West than the East)

  • [Discussion] Nearly all anime is copyrighted. What gives?
  • Perhaps I was. I recently started noticing it more and more, and I know it's stupid but the same thing happened with registered trademarks

  • [Discussion] Nearly all anime is copyrighted. What gives?

    Frankly, I'm kind of sick of it. Is it because non-copyrighted pieces of work are not sustainable for large publishing houses? Not to mention manga is too. It's not much of a problem when it comes to individuals, but companies which probably lobby for "eternal" copyright (I know Disney does but that's not Japanese).

    In fact, is there anything from Japan that I don't have to feel guilty about sharing with my friends and family (but mostly friends)? Or do I literally have to wait until my death for some anime to enter the public domain?

    Keyboard without a Windows key?

    Pretty straightforward question: I've been using Linux for nearly 3 years now, and the only thing reminding me I was once a Windows user is... well, the Windows key on my keyboard. What's a cheap keyboard (max. €30) I can buy that has something instead of the Win key (e.g. Super, Meta, even Tux or some other logo)?

    Publishing a copy-lefted book

    I'm planning to publish a book in the following months, but I'm not entirely sure if the procedure is the same for both copyrighted and copy-lefted books. If you hadn't guessed, I'm publishing one with the latter license (i.e. Creative Commons). I'm planning on using Lulu.com for this first book, but I was wondering if there are publishing houses which are friendly towards copyleft media, preferably based somewhere in Europe.

    Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated!

    What is the opposite of "All rights reserved"?

    I would argue that there are a few ways this phrase can be inverted:

    >No rights reserved

    Implies that the author waives all rights to his/her work (i.e. ultimately places it in the public domain)

    >All rights included

    I've seen this one in the context of royalty-free music being used in the commercial sense, where if you pay for the license, you can use that song anytime anywhere, with all rights to the song. This seems to be the opposite of "All rights reserved" which we should know by now what it means

    >Copyleft

    While not really a phrase, it is the opposite of copyright itself. Used primarily in software but maybe some other media can also be considered copyleft. As far as I'm aware, it has some ties with copyright itself (that you cannot remove attribution from the author, and, in case of software, must distribute it as is, without putting any restrictions yourself)

    There are probably more means other than what I've listed, and I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
