Interesting. I wonder if you’d actually need the author’s authorization to cite his work in such a way.
- sangnoir 4y agoIf feels a lot like those YouTube uploader disclaimers to me: makes the author feel good, but probably won't mean much in a court of law - if it comes to that. IANAL
- adastra22 4y agoYou don’t and that restriction is toothless.
- icegreentea2 4y agoYou don't need the author's authorization. However, any regulatory body reviewing your filing and following up on your sources might find your choice questionable.
- Rygian 4y agoYou don't need it. You can go ahead and use without authorization. The regulator will then simply dismiss your filing for using unacceptable sources.
- m463 4y agoit seems to be on medium.com so they could do all they could probably do what they want with it. Also, I thought the court said linking to something was ok, no matter what the content.
- yokem55 4y agoSure, but an opposing party could then easily call it out as bad evidence. "Commissioner/your honor, the author themselves didn't this was any good for use in court".
- wpietri 4y agoI get where he's coming from. There's a maritime protocol for ship location, AIS, mainly meant so ships can all have nice radar-like displays of the ships around them. I wrote a decoder for it for an art project, the Twitter bot @sfships. I was very concerned that somebody would take it too seriously, so I wrote: "I needed a simple AIS decoder for a small art project. I couldn’t find one, so I’m making something minimally adequate for my needs. Decoders are generated automatically from public protocol documentation, but since I use few of the fields myself, I haven’t verified much of the decoding. This code is rough and doesn’t worry much about correctness, and so shouldn’t be used for anything that matters. It especially shouldn’t be used for ship navigation." -- https://pypi.org/project/simpleais/ https://pypi.org/project/simpleais/ I can't really stop people, but at least I tried!
- bombcar 4y agoSimilarly you see disclaimers on various softwares that they shouldn’t be used for life support or nuclear facilities. I use them anyway wheeeeee
