It's everyone's right to save what they find on the Internet!

In case you don't understand how the Internet works, here:

  1. Your computer: "I would like that file, please."
  2. Their computer: "OK, here you go!"

YouTube is literally sending your computer the stuff you asked it to send. Content that was uploaded by the copyright holder specifically for that purpose. How is this piracy‽

    I'm skeptical of this ruling because far, far too many people have similarly-sounding voices. As long as the video maker wasn't claiming it was that guy's voice, how can he have standing?

    This puts anyone with a similar voice to a famous person at risk of a lawsuit.

    What's everyone so upset about? Clearly, the 3-6 year-olds on Lemmy have been protected!

    ...from knowledge about the existence of gay and/or bi people.

    Uh, it's already a private system. Even with Medicare and Medicaid. They're just government assistance programs that send people to private providers and private pharmacies.

    We do have a proper government-run healthcare system, though: The Veterans Administration. They have their own doctors and hospitals and vastly greater efficiency than the best private hospitals/insurance.
