Apparently it was video clips originally posted, but it seems like posting unpublished(?) copy of any type can fall under DMCA, which I guess makes sense.

-> [HBO Lawyer] classifies the infringing content as 'summaries of unpublished, character, setting, and plots of a forthcoming series'

A summary can't be a matter of copyright. It's probably just the vehicle HBO chose to be able to identify the leaker, because claiming copyright infringement these days is like a superpower, and then use different hammer to go after them.

This is a legally tricky minefield. Depending on what is in summary, it -may- be subject to copyright but be protected as fair use... but a work being unpublished weighs against (but does not preclude) free use.

I could see an argument that it is a trade secret, too-- which could be used to oppose downstream dissemination.

I think it'd pretty much have to be a script, a screenshot, audio, or video to qualify as copyright infringement. I can tell you what a song is about without risk of violating copyright, but the moment I start quoting lyrics things get riskier.

I think it depends on the depth of the summary, and the purpose. You can do quite an indepth analysis as part of educational material for example, which is one of the tests of fair use.

I think a key thing to remember when assessing your own liability is fair use is a defense, not an automatic guaranteed right for blanket uses.

Leaking spoilers of unpublished works can definitely cause market harm, and serves no wider good for the market the same way educational material would.

I wouldn't like to be on the receiving side of this lawsuit. At the very least it's going to be expensive to defend against.

That's the rub. When it comes to copyright, money makes right. The one with more money and willingness to go to court will win. Not who is actually legally right.

That's not just copyright, it's our entire legal system. A corporation can intentionally murder hundreds of thousands of people and get nothing but a slap on the wrist fine.

That too makes sense.

-> which [is?] pretty bland

That's a shame to hear, as Taliesin West in Arizona is very fascinating and interesting, but rather poorly curated and run.

My bad on the typo.

The Tallesin 1 hour or so tour is definitely interesting to look at from a historical and design perspective, but definitely "art project" not "good engineering" given the poorly supported balconies, the continually leaky roof, and if you're over 6 feet tall you might hit your head in places.

100% that's actually what we found missing/were disappointed in from the Taliesin West "self-guided" audio tour was it was more social/artistic approach of his architectural style, and not at all on the actual architecture and it's effects.

For what it's worth I found Oslo Airport to be one of the best airport experiences I've ever had. 5 stars.

Thank you, I remember a lot of good discussions between architects and engineers. How to make it both beautiful and a good environment to be in

Just select one of the 5 successor states to Yugoslavia, forward all traffic to their ministry of foreign affairs, and then enjoy the heartfelt exchange of brotherly love and munitions that ensues!

I suppose I was mistaken, or perhaps outdated, in getting my geopolitical news from the NYT instead of HN comments apparently.

> $800k doesn't sound like that much of money for someone that has access to that kind of insider knowledge

I think you over-estimate by a large margin how much congressional staffers and/or Pentagon employees make, many of whom could have access to this kind of information in the course of their duties.

And conversely having all of your teeth, and straight ones at that, help prevent jaw wasting.

While it has many many amazing scenes, I think Patriot's "cover" of the Rockwell Retro Encabulator is absolutely top notch.

Thank you Corey Doctorow and "Little Brother". That book was prescient. And free.

Frankly, I never imagined when I read that decades ago, that it could be underselling the horror.

Fraud is a real thing. Lying or misrepresenting information on financial applications is illegal in most jurisdictions the world over. I have no trouble believing that a sub-agent of enough specificity would attempt to commit fraud in the pursuit of it's instructions.

Do you believe allegations of criminal behavior based on zero reliable evidence? I hope you never end up on a jury.

Yes, I believe a person on a hacker forum who has said, through their own evaluations, that they have observed LLM driven agents exhibiting illegal behavior, such as when they have asked an agent to complete certain tasks with what sounds like abstracted levels of context. I believe them because I know I can get an agent to do that myself by simply installing OpenClaw and telling it to apply for as many mortgage loans as possible at the best rate possible.

Eddie Bauer the brand is not going bankrupt; the company that runs the brick-and-mortor stores in North America as Eddie Bauer is. So if you get your Eddie Bauer from anywhere that isn't an Eddie Bauer store you should be fine.
