Herman, the creator of Bear Blog, noticed that links for downloading pirated copies of his JustSketchMe app were all over Google's search results. So he turned the tables.

Just making sure: the #apartheid #settler #colony committing #genocide in #gaza and serial #warcriminal, which uses #pagers to maim #children, executes #aidworkers and lies about it, bombs every single #hospital, lies about #beheadedbabies, murder their own civilians under the #hannibaldirective, displace #indigenouspeople and engage in #landtheft (and the list goes on), is now engaging in #piracy and #kidnapping in #internationalwaters , and our media goes “this is fine”?

I might go to the Friday or Saturday one (online) of this:
- Mapping Care Webs
3/3
I was of the opinion that it is way more unethical to give money to the powerbendingly rich oligopolies controlling our media and culture (and way too often our corresponding laws) than to pirate long before it was cool.
But I'm not shaming anyone, all are welcome to the high seas! Here, have a parrot 🦜
I'm convinced that in the history books we'll credit BitTorrent for having preserved a significant chunk of humanity's cultural production

You may have heard about the class action against Anthropic, who trained their models using pirated, copyrighted works (including mine):
Since they are settling the suit, you may want to ensure you can be contacted by counsel; you may be owed damages. (Amount TBD. Don't get your hopes up, but expect more than zero!)
The Authors Guild has useful information on how this impacts authors and what authors need to do:

🏴☠️ Although not perfect, I do consider the Republic of Pirates a proto-anarchist society. 🦜
Kings and Generals: Golden Age of Piracy - Real Pirates of the Caribbean
📺️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUG5Fy11xAY
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Pirates
"… In the aftermath of the War of Spanish Succession, thousands of sailors found themselves jobless, sparking a wave of piracy across the Atlantic world. From Queen Anne’s War and Privateering to the rise of the Pirate Republic of Nassau, this video explores how former privateers like Benjamin Hornigold and Edward Teach (Blackbeard) turned to piracy. The infamous 1715 Treasure Fleet Raid near Florida became a pivotal moment, enriching and emboldening these rogue crews. We trace the Rise of Notorious Pirates such as Blackbeard, Charles Vane, and “Black Sam” Bellamy as they terrorized shipping routes from the Caribbean to the American colonies. But the pirate lifestyle was more than plunder—Pirate Life and British Crackdown reveals the democratic structure aboard pirate ships, the diverse backgrounds of their crews, and the harsh realities of life at sea. Watch as Britain finally moves to suppress the Pirate Republic and reassert control over its trade routes."

This is getting worse by the minute. I followed @christof|s hint concerning the reproduction of articles from #DHQ / @DHQuarterly looking for one of my own papers (https://digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/16/2/000593/000593.html).
In this case #ProQuest blatantly violates the CC BY-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/) by

I am very much in favour of @adho.org, as the publisher of @DHQuarterly, follows the path outlined by @dingemansemark. I will also log a complaint with #ProQuest through my employer.

After reading through the CC BY license I am none the wiser whether one has to clearly indicate that the material in question had been originally published somewhere else. The DOI as provided by #ProQuest reveals this fact but only after manually parsing the string with a resolver. Readers unfamiliar with the Programming Historian are made to believe that ProQuest is the original publisher or the platform officially hosting the original content.
However, ProQuest clearly violates the attribution requirements by modifying the layout and removing images. The CC BY license explicitly states that “You must […] indicate if You modified the Licensed Material”.
