| Mar 14, 2019 at 18:52 | comment | added | Braiam | @CPerkins I think the generalization is "trying to explain something specialized to someone that isn't their specialization is damn hard to do". | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 15:50 | comment | added | C Perkins | Try to explain copyright law to general IT folks. That is damn hard to do. (I think that I'm allow to twist and repost KarelG's words under the "parody" exception.) | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 15:26 | comment | added | Luc | @Magisch relevant username, you answer your own question! Anyway, more seriously, @ KarelG, how does this answer the question? This isn't law.SE asking whether politicians are also "IT'ers" (hello fellow Dutch speaker :) ), but a meta.SE question asking "how does it affect SE". | |

My solution to explain it is to memorize a quote from a book. “Zagreus sits inside your head, Zagreus lives among the dead, Zagreus sees you in your bed, And eats you when you're sleeping.” then I say, you have to block this sentence everywhere where you encounter it, it's copyrighted, even though you don't know where it's from or that it even existed. This sentence has copyright and must be blocked by the filter. Now come up with an idea how to get this blocked and I'll implement it. Then i'll try to upload the second paragraph of this copyrighted text ands see if your idea will block it

Sounds like it's time for ACM to dust off this letter it sent to Harry Reid (who was at that time the Senate Majority Leader in the U.S.) when he was trying to pass similarly idiotic legislation in the U.S. Thankfully, it failed. | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 14:57 | comment | added | Flydog57 | I can't imagine how you could create a copyrighted material filter. Even if you had a catalog of every copyrighted picture ever produced, it would be awful hard to match the same picture that had been cropped, stretched and slightly photoshopped/filtered. Even text is hard to match. I did a graduate degree a few years back and the profs would run our papers through an anti-plagiarize site. I was amazed that my papers would score 15-20%. Every attributed quote would be flagged as would all of the references. | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 14:32 | comment | added | Braiam | @Magisch And that's the scary thing. They will expect companies to do exactly that and when it isn't done, they would point towards someone that does a botched attempt and impose fines. As long as there is a single example of someone doing it, however badly implemented, fines would be applied. | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 10:33 | comment | added | Magisch | People somehow stop at "Just don't let them post copyrighted content" without spending a second thinking about "How are you going to do that?" | |
| Mar 14, 2019 at 10:21 | comment | added | BDL | "Try to explain the technological limitations of enforcing that rule in layman's terms. That is damn hard to do." So true. I work at a major European university and tried to explain our government partners why automatic content filtering is a technical challenge/problem. Don't think my point was understood. | |
