Buck 65 recently wrote that a vinyl plant refused to press his record unless he named every sample he used and provided clearances. They used AI to detect if his music was sample-based. (fedia.io)

Buck 65 is a rapper from Canada. If you aren't familiar with him here's one of my favourite songs from him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OViINrmZUY

He recently wrote this on his substack: "Not long after sending the master off, we received a message from the pressing plant (one of the bigger, more popular plants). They said there was an issue and refused to go forward with the pressing until the issue was resolved. We came to find out that they used AI to analyze the album and determined that the music was sample-based. They said they would only press the album if full details on sample clearances was provided. I went through all of this with Warner back when I signed my deal back in 2002 or whenever it was. That paperwork may or may not be collecting dust in a drawer somewhere in the world. Finding it now would be impossible and going though the whole process again - with lawyers and contracts and blah, blah, blah - would be just as difficult. I don’t even have a lawyer anymore. So we bailed and then had to scramble to find a different plant that was willing to do the job as pre-orders were already in and all copies sold out in advance."

Has anyone heard anything similar? If more widespread this could kill vinyls across the board, not just hip hop but anything sample based from plunderphonics to vaporwave.

This isn't good.

She would have to make her own server. She would overwhelm and destroy those sites.

Can I make a paid app on playstore free on fdroid ? by BarrierWithAshes in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

Some just do it to make some extra money and save for convenience. Krita is free to download and install yourself. It's 10 bucks if you want to get it on Steam. It's perfectly within their right. Especially in KDE's instance.

Again? I thought they already left and then there was a lawsuit cause of it.

Oof, I forgot that Concord has an episode in upcoming TV series Secret Level by BarrierWithAshes in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

If it's anything like the game I don't expect it'll standout much. Unless the devs have some sort of hail-mary-plan that the episode will be so good that it revives interest in the game.

This is like that other comic about 'girls only like guys who treat them right' (i dunno the name) but actually good.

Idk. They've never really bothered me and its wasp season in my city.

I saved a wasp from my pool the other day and it spent a few minutes just rubbing its head and body before flying off. So I assume so.

It's basically like a gamejam but instead of making a game in one weekend you have to build a web browser.

Here's the github page: https://github.com/BrowserJam/browserjam

Binance had such a solic reputation in the crypto world for not intervening. Way to throw it all away.

You'd be surprised what people have been doing with Telegram's 'unlimited storage'.

Unused ram is wasted ram. Pisses me off to no end. What I do with my ram is my concern, I don't want you bloating up and using it.

Yeah well see if anything comes out of it. I don't trust chicken companies that try to jump to tech.

I'm still waiting on my KFC gaming console.

[Video] Disney creates best argument for piracy in a century by BarrierWithAshes in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Guy dies in Disneyland. Family sues. Disney lawyers say he can't sue since guy-that-died had subscribed to Disney+ before and agreed to the terms of service. The terms of service he probably scrolled by when he registered say "you can't sue us". That was the most recent move I've heard.

That's an insane oversimplification of the proceedings but it appears like it's gonna come down to this clause. The clause that the user signs upon registering to Disney+ is a binding arbitration clause. You can read more about that here: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mandatory-binding-arbitration.asp

Basically says you waive your right to sue us. Ianal btw. Also Discord has this same clause in their terms of service.
