Dumb gravity falls au where bill becomes a benevolent guardian angel

Drew Fidds for the first time. This is post-canon where he’s like healing and doing better which adds years to my life span. Happy Fiddleford Friday!

[Image ID. a digital drawing of Fiddleford H McGucket (also known as Old Man McGucket) from Gravity Falls. He’s wearing jean overalls over his old green shirt. His beard is trimmed shorter and there is a small yellow star sticker with a smiley face on it. An arrow points to the sticker with the caption “Sticker from Mabel.” He’s wearing his classic hat with a patch of dark red fabric where the holes once were. An arrow points to the patch with the caption “repaired by Mabel.” His green lensed goggles sit on top of his hat. He has his hands in his pocket. He has a big smile on his face. End ID.]

Well, it happened again: Tonight's final SAGE Roulette stream got muted because one of the songs got caught for copyright.

Not because it was actually copyrighted, no. Because some brainless clown took a video game song and used it as the backbeat to rap over. Get a load of this:

This song, called "Niiintendo", featuring a koopa troopa plush seemingly brandishing what appears to be a heroin needle, is not, in fact, from a game developed by Nintendo. It's the main menu theme from Sonic Mega Collection. Eventually this guy's "remix" pushes the bass boost button and he starts rapping over it, which the song on tonight's stream never gets to, because it's not a rap song. Twitch seems to think it is, though.

When this happens on Youtube, you get a little box to describe what's going on with the claim. So when some huckster rolled up on a Sonic 2006 video of mine and claimed the stage clear jingle was a hip hop beat, I got to tell them "No, this guy just put a drum track over an existing song, and he's using way more than the 6 seconds allowed by sampling laws." Not only was my claim dropped, I'm pretty sure that guy lost his partnership status with the music label he was claiming it through.

Twitch, on the other hand, has a simple drop down with four options:

My video does not contain the audio as identified

I created and performed the music and I own all the rights

I have permission from all applicable rights holders to broadcast it on Twitch

My usage is considered fair use.

Also the official Youtube video for this song is almost two years old and still has under 300 views. Because of course it does. It's yet another song about how much some dude loves to have sex with strangers and smoke drugs. Me talking about it right now is probably the most notoriety it's ever had, and it's because it's a thorn in my side and Twitch might ignore my plea and tell me to eat shit

What a racket

Techmoan: "I hope this won't trigger a content id match"

Proceeds to put on Dead Poet's Society and watch it in its entirety. Pausing occasionally to talk about parts he was confused by and reminisce about the first time he watched it in theaters

This is funny how a washing machine chime is being used to demonitized videos.

YouTube Says Its Music AI Incubator Will 'Protect' Artists

YouTube is embracing the future of artificial intelligence in the music industry by creating a YouTube Music AI Incubator to “protect” artists and their work, the company said in a press release on Monday. The streaming platform partnered with Universal Music Group (UMG) to launch the Music AI Incubator, working alongside artists and songwriters including Rosanne Cash, Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic,…

Rex: Its march 15th. You know what that means, Fox... Fox, already sharpening his knife: Of course. Today is the day we assassinate the emperor. Rex: Yeah, the day Caesar was...wait, did you say assassinate the emperor? Fox? Get back here! Fox, sprinting toward the imperial palace: Call me Brutus!

The easiest approach is keeping hashes of files that they don't want. See a file getting uploaded with a matching hash? Don't let it get uploaded. Ezpz. Very little effort.

That, however, is easily circumvented. For hashes, changing a single bit of a single byte of the file completely changes the hash. And so, a cat-and-mouse game ensues, with providers trying ever-more-sophisticated ways to detect undesired signals (e.g., copyrighted material, pornography, whatever), while uploaders work to corrupt those signals *just enough* to avoid detection, while not completely destroying the underlying signal.

I know for a fact that they've got at least *some* rudimentary Content ID-like system in place for audio files. They could likely extend it for images and other file types as well.

The end-game is users utilizing completely encrypted files that are decrypted and rendered with custom code that runs on top of the provider's site --- think browser extensions/add-ons. Users can share passwords to the encrypted files, and compartmentalize them too in order to root out snitches.

If you're not The Customer, you're The Product, etc etc etc

Since tumblr still hasn’t unblurred me, I’m going to take some time to tell you about one of their most secret policies:

Tumblr bans specific images. This is not a flagging thing. The image doesn’t get flagged. It gets removed from the site permanently. And I mean PERMANENTLY. There is no notification that this happens to your image because the policy is completely unofficial. There are also absolutely no guidelines to it. For instance, an image like this one is not against any tumblr community guidelines.

Yet this image when I had if as my header for my blog, to protest my previous blog’s sudden and uncalled for deletion (I had zero flagged posts, was given no warnings, and then one day I checked at two of my blogs were missing and I had a stern email from tumblr to never make a nsft blog again or else all my blogs would get deleted…yes the email said that) was removed. Not only was it removed form the posts I had made using it. They removed it from my header.

Of course, as you can see the image in no way violates the community guidelines…and even if it did, technically the official policy of tumblr is to flag the image and make it invisible to anyone but the OP. Instead this is a different far less official policy…and it seems as though it is completely within the realm of individual tumblr staff to decide what gets to count. Indeed, this is not the only image this has happened to me too. The first two blogs of mine that got deleted we’re actually nsft blogs, unlike my current blogs, they actually technically did violate tumblr guidelines…now mind you I was no longer posting original nsft content on their at time of their deletion…but still they’d previously been porn blogs. ANYWAYS…if you run a very popular nsft blog you’ll notice that your most popular post occasionally just disappear. Maybe if you’re not paying attention you presume you just can’t track it down or no one has reblogged it lately…but no, they (staff) straight up extrajudicially remove your content. I say extrajudicially because they do have official policy and protocols they should be following, aka flagging the content and/or labeling the content. But no, they fucking remove it.

And when they remove it, it’s gone for good, for everyone. For instance, the above photo, the “ew tumblr” photo…that’s not the original photo, that’s a screenshot of that photo. You can’t post the original, the code of that photo is forever banned. It’s not even just one account either. For instance, to test this, I attempted to upload an old “missing” nsft image from my original blog, which is not associated with this email, and is not even associated with my IP address. And this is what happened:

Tumblr’s transphobia runs so deep they are eager and willing to circumvent their own policies and procedures, the staff acting like thin skinned vigilantes on their own website where they held all the power to start with anyways.

eeewwwwwwwww

unblur me now staff
