Florida Joker is in the news again, this time demanding to speak with Rockstar Games, or to be given $1-2 million over his likeness in GTA 6.

    Lemmy and other fediverses shows up on Google and other search engines, and can use booleans to search websites from Googleand other search engines. They know how to make it easy even if you don’t.

    Can even automate it with a script and have it pop out a list of new websites every morning.

    You don’t need to believe, it happens already mate. And cease and desists are far worse than DMCAs since there is no legal ramifications for ignoring a DMCA. Also parody is protected from copyright claim, so they couldn’t DMCA a parody anyways, it would only be able to be dealt with through a cease and desist. Which we already figured out doesn’t require a lawsuit, but you seem to want to ignore this key detail.

    Blocked.

      They really don’t. The only way I get it is if I do something like "site:lemmy-instance ". It can be done, but I really don’t think a lawyer is going to bother, much like they likely don’t bother with smaller forums and whatnot.

      it already happens

      On lemmy? Can you give me an example?

      They absolutely can. It doesn’t need to be legal, just scary enough for the website to not bother looking into it further. That happens all the time on Github and Youtube, it’s not exactly new.

      Okay. That seems a bit extreme, but whatever.
