There's nothing you can say about Kyle Rittenhouse that will get you banned from LBRY

Because we can't ban anyone 💅

@lbry What if someone file a DMCA claim on some copywrited material.
@mian @lbry

This is true... let's say someone posted something like the following, what would LBRY INC be able to do?

My name is INSERT NAME and I am the INSERT TITLE of INSERT COMPANY NAME. A website that your company hosts (according to WHOIS information) is infringing on at least one copyright owned by my company.

An article was copied onto your servers without permission. The original ARTICLE/PHOTO, to which we own the exclusive copyrights, can be found at:

PROVIDE WEBSITE URL

The unauthorized and infringing copy can be found at:

PROVIDE WEBSITE URL

This letter is not an official notification under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”), but I seek the removal of the aforementioned infringing material from your servers regardless. I request that you immediately notify the infringer of this notice and inform them of their duty to remove the infringing material immediately, and notify them to cease any further posting of infringing material to your server in the future.

Please also be advised that law requires you, as a service provider, to remove or disable access to the infringing materials upon receiving this notice. Under US law a service provider, such as yourself, enjoys immunity from a copyright lawsuit provided that you act with deliberate speed to investigate and rectify ongoing copyright infringement. If service providers do not investigate and remove or disable the infringing material this immunity is lost. Therefore, in order for you to remain immune from a copyright infringement action you will need to investigate and ultimately remove or otherwise disable the infringing material from your servers with all due speed should the direct infringer, your client, not comply immediately.

@yes @lbry @mian good question. But LBRY is a protocol not a website, so the copyright infringement on LBRY Inc. does not stand as long as they are not seeding that content themselves. LBRY Inc. not seeding something doesn't mean that content is banned on LBRY protocol. As long as the uploader or someone else on LBRY protocol network is seeding that content it will be accessible. That is the beauty of P2P networks like LBRY

@yes @lbry @mian That's not a problem of protocol and has nothing to do with banning.Protocols like LBRY provide the power of censorship resistance, its up to creators whether to use it or not.

@anirudh @lbry @mian who is to blame is independent from if it's a practical attack vector as the net effect remains unchanged.
@anirudh @lbry @mian i have tried many many many times to set up a full node and i have failed basically every single time as the documentation is either wrong or just non existent. until that is rectified it's kind of dishonest to make claims about being a decentralized protocol when no one operates in that way in practice.

@yes @lbry @mian you don't need to run a full blockchain node to seed content. Actually seeding is extremely easy just install the desktop app and it will seed all content you watch as long as you allow it. I did run a full LBRY blockchain node previously by following their readme on github, didn't run into any issues. What problems did you face?

@anirudh @lbry @mian so i can compile it, set up most of it, but when it came time to use it via the LBRY desktop client it simply did not accept it as a valid wallet server.

@yes @lbry @mian try asking in their forums (forum.lbry.com) or discord or matrix. Their community is quite helpful and active.
