Sounds like a link tax, not actually reproducing any written content. I really dislike link taxes, they’re gonna break the internet at some point if they don’t see pushback.
If the code automatically shows the article or summarizes it without clicking on the link, then yeah, that’s infringement. It should only show the title and the link imo.
Except the summary is almost always literally the content the sites ask the sites linking them to show.
They have “please show this preview instead of a boring plain link” code.
This. They even provide the cover image to use. If they don’t want embedding they could just block the request.
But they don’t want to. They want to sell the cake and eat it too.
They want to sell the cake and eat it too…
Or they want to sell the cake and get paid for it.
It should only show the title and the link imo.
That’s infringement in Europe, which makes it effectively a link tax.
Yeah, it’s the same thing that lets us have a site like lemmy
Huh? How you mean?
Oh, he’s saying that snippet view lets us have sites like lemmy. I didn’t get how cracking down on that would help lemmy.
Now when I open a Google map link my wife sent from messenger, messenger opens a copy of maps inside messenger that doesn’t work half the time. Is that excluded from link tax?
When musks puts unskippable ads to go to content instead of reading it almost in its entirety right on the site (with an ad besides it), is that also link tax?
Enshitification of links is what will break the internet. Musk would be the first to sue for this.
I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:
People in Canada can’t view this content.
Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.
on one hand fuck Twitter, but on the other… Link previews never should be considered copyright infringement.
Do they want to get France kicked out of NATO?
