Preventing lawsuits #7

Closed fritek373 closed 8 years ago

fritek373 commented 8 years ago

What do you want to do, to prevent lawsuits and DCMA? How do you gonna stay "under the radar" of their loyers? (Zie net dat je Nederlander bent, in NL bedoel ik natuurlijk BREIN die gaat zeuren).

KeizerDev commented 8 years ago

@fritek373 Simply, I can't. That's why I made it open source so people can just host there own Browsertime and/or make an universal one. That's not my task, I just wanted to show that it is technically possible without using server bandwidth.

I see, it was the same mindset as the original PT initially had; but as we all know: they went down. Please keep us updated about legal problems.

KeizerDev commented 8 years ago

Sure @fritek373! I'll keep this issue open then.

Does the source of this client clearly represent copyright infringement? AFAIK, using the tool is prohibited, not its design and/or implementation.

KeizerDev commented 8 years ago

@georgenetu as long as WE don't make it accessible for other people by setting up a hosting server, I don't think it would be that illegal. It's just for learning purposes and showing that it is technically possible! Ps. I answered some more questions on gitter.

@georgenetu I've manage to fix this in a way that we'll develop just a legal version, with legal movies just to do a Proof of concept. Then we will see what the community does with it.

Great, thanks for the update!
