@Cy0ps@NewsWire_US As i said previously, old laws that dictate current technology. In my opinion local courts should be able to challenge Supreme Court decisions in such cases, it’s clear that a 2002 verdict of photoshopped crap is no way near the current capabilities with AI.
@Cy0ps@NewsWire_US People will always make things political, the ppl responsible are the 2002 Supreme Court judges and the “free speech coalition” funny enough the primary trade association for adult content that argued “it’s just pictures it’s not real”.
Thankfully all other charges still stick.
@Cy0ps@NewsWire_US You could just Google instead of putting on makeup.

“We have some concerns about the lines these cases draw, but we are not free to redraw them ourselves. … [W]e leave to the Supreme Court the prerogative of overruling its own decisions.”
@Cy0ps@NewsWire_US No it doesn’t, not even god himself could change it. Lower courts have to uphold supreme courts precedents.
Then supreme court set both those precedents in 1969 and 2002, all the lower courts can do is advise the Supreme Court to revisit those precedents.
@shotgunner101@reinaanastasiax@IntCyberDigest The PROTECT act was created after this ruling, to be more clear, but once again this was in 2003, it’s time this goes all the way to Supreme Court again and gets revisited.
@tobiastimor@Slatzism@washingtonpost Because of the headline, and because of a 1960something ruling by a supreme court Stankley vs Georgia stating the 1th amendment protects an individual’s right to possess obscene material inside their own home.
So combining both those precedents and this is the result.
@tobiastimor@Slatzism@washingtonpost There is already a precedent from 2002, the PROTECT act was created in 2003 in response to that ruling.
Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition Supreme Court ruled tldr: the government cannot ban “virtual” depictions of minors in sexual situations simply because they look realistic
@CoinTrader_YT@GTAVIMedia Idk about you but I’m certain no attorney is going to approach a potential suspect that casual, especially since they don’t even know who the leaker is.
Didn't get awarded fees in my lawsuit 😔
Just to recap:
I posted on X a still image from a film combined with a screenshot from a news article.
I was sued for copyright infringement.
We filed a motion to dismiss which was granted.
We filed for fees which was denied.
I'm out about $42,000.
