If you read carefully, you'll find that there hasn't been a claim of copyright violation. The accusation is "ripping us off", and it is made in front of the audience that both sites appear to serve.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoThe accusation is "stole". It's right there in the title. In what way do they have less than they did before?
- Goladus 14y agoThey have not made a formal claim of copyright violation, they have not involved lawyers, they have not sent a cease and desist (to my knowledge). They did use the word "stole" but they used it in a casual, non-legal sense and followed up with an explanation of exactly what they mean. It's completely different from a sustained propaganda campaign that explicitly tries to equate the crime of theft with copyright violation, which is what the MPAA and RIAA did. Censuring them for using the word "steal" in this case is just nitpicking. That's why no one's doing it. It has nothing to do with "only applying to creators outside the community"
