Artists, merch sellers, and journalists making and posting Luigi media have become the targets of bogus DMCA claims.

I wonder who saw this coming?
Was it stallman again?
Yeah it really was. It’s annoying and terrifying how right Richard stallman always is.
I mean, I can’t say he’s the only or the first one to say anything similar
Was he right when he wrote “I think it is morally absurd to define ‘rape’ in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17”?
Out of context, I see nothing wrong with that. Rape is rape. Location and age shouldn’t be a factor in deciding whether something qualifies as rape or merely sexual assault. And while we’re at it, can we also get rid of the ass-backwards criteria in some jurisdictions that make being penetrated a requirement?
Maybe so, but it’s also like “is this really the hill you want to die on?”
What “maturity” is is a complicated and nuanced subject. Hell, some 50 year olds are less mature than 16 years old, what implications might that have? Not to mention how to even quantitatively measure maturity. You’re getting out in the weeds in a similar way of how you would regarding intelligence
At some point you just have to pick your poison, and saying “18 years is the age of consent” and strong protections for victims is considered good enough for most.
Edit: on re-reading, you didn’t say what I thought you said, that’s my bad, either way, I’ll keep this comment up assuming that stallman was arguing for changing age of consent laws.
Saying one correct thing doesn’t mean everything else you say is right
Yes.
She got an email from TeePublic that said “We’re sorry to inform you that an intellectual property claim has been filed by UnitedHealth Group Inc against this design of yours on TeePublic,” and said “Unfortunately, we have no say in which designs stay or go” because of the DMCA. This is not true—platforms are able to assess the validity of any DMCA claim and can decide whether to take the supposedly infringing content down or not. But most platforms choose the path of least resistance and take down content that is obviously not infringing; Kenaston’s clearly violates no one’s copyright. Kenaston appealed the decision and TeePublic told her: “Unfortunately, this was a valid takedown notice sent to us by the proper rightsholder, so we are not allowed to dispute it,” which, again, is not true.
It’s time to boycott TeePublic.
Don’t go that far. Just ask someone to sign their name to the statement that they truly believe that UHG literally owns the likeness of the dude who (allegedly) shot one of their CEOs so you can call them a fucking moron by name online.
Done. TeePublic is dead to me.
‘There is no world in which the copyright of a watercolor painting of Luigi Mangione surveillance footage done by Kenaston is owned by United Health Group as it quite literally has nothing to do with anything that the company owns.’
wake up and smell the daisies United Health Group owns everything and everyone in North America
So they claim copyright.
So that means they admitted to orchestrated the assasination?
I mean I hate them as much as everyone else but that’s a bit of a jump.
“We’re sorry to inform you that an intellectual property claim has been filed by UnitedHealth Group Inc against this design of yours on TeePublic”
If UnitedHealth really filed that claim, they’re even more tone-deaf than I thought.
It’s almost like the rich have always been weaponizing control systems against us.
So how about merch with ceo and board members’ names and addresses on it?
Wait the insurance company think it owns the likeness of the assassin that took out their ceo.
What the fuck?
Anyone else wanna hit United back with their own medicine?
You and I would face legal consequences.
Would.
Who said it’s gotta be the same brand of medicine?
“Take the Meat Bridge!” raw burger-squishing noises
