In India, one of the world’s most polyglot countries, the government wants more than a billion people to embrace Hindi. One scholar thinks that would be a loss.
I’m not concerned with being sued, I’m just asking if it’s copying someone’s work when that person (or whomever holds the copyright) hasn’t allowed it to be copied. Is that what’s happening here?
I’m not too sure but I think that it’s weak copyright infringement (piracy), indeed. However the content being available for free from the site itself, plus the lack of enforcement of its copy rights, muddies a bit the matter.
Tangent re: New Yorker: I’m about to host-block websites that drop a non-dismissible paywall over the browser and force a quit-and-restart
Here’s an archive link to bypass the paywall.
@koavf@lemmy.ml it would be great if you included this archive link into the OP.
Isn’t that just pirating copyrighted material?
I think that it’s in a grey area, but if the site were to sue someone it would be the archive, not people linking it, so it’s safe for us.

Ah, got it.

If it is in fact a copyright infringement, then I’m not going to be posting that.
That’s fair. Never mind the request then.
Thank you!
