- josephcsible 6y agoWhy? GitHub didn't do anything wrong. They took this down because they were required to by law. It would have been the same story with anyone else.
- siddharthgoel88 6y agoWhat I meant is that they would rather do a self-hosting (Gitea, etc.) instead of using another platform to have ore control. Moreover, my statement was more of a speculation rather than an advice :-D
- josephcsible 6y agoIf you self-hosted, they could have just gone for your ISP or colocation provider.
- R0b0t1 6y agoBreaking copy protection is only illegal if you do not have a license to the work. Removing the protection breaking code isn't necessary, and everyone needs to stop pretending that it is. This same clause of the DMCA is the suspected reason for py-kms's reinstatement after a takedown: it's perfectly legal to break the Windows license scheme if you already own a license to Windows.
- josephcsible 6y agoThis is not my understanding of the DMCA. Can you back this up?
- superkuh 6y agoGithub is part of the RIAA via Microsoft. That is something wrong.
- DarkWiiPlayer 6y agoSimply having a good migration strategy might be more than enough.
