That's illegal. The fun part is that there's no way you can sue them in the US, but they can fuck with you forever with impunity.

They might have dual citizenship. Alot of those "modern" techbros jump borders.

 

[Thumb Butler]

Why fuck with this place? I don't get it. Kiwifarms is just a little hangout. Why attack here?

They're probably like the good old "Web Sheriff". They spam to collect their coins from idiots paying for their "service".

I was tempted to say no because it looks nothing like him currently but, it's 12 years ago and...

... these are webdev and Android app development books. And of the two questions on his SO, one of them is about Android development.

Not only is pornography subject to copyright, a major precedent was set in the case of Mitchell Brothers Film Group and Jartech Inc. vs. Cinema Adult Theater (1979). At issue was the Mitchell Brothers' pornographic film, Behind the Green Door, and a series of adult theaters playing pirated copies of the film for profit without paying the Mitchell Brothers.

Before this lawsuit, movies didn't have the Federal Copyright disclaimer that is briefly shown before the credits on every modern movie. Pornography is definitely copyright protected.

Hell, this conversation has been going on since 1867 with Martinetti v. Maguire over The Black Crook.
And then that case was used in the 1898 case of Broder v. Zeno Mauvais Music Company that said that the song Dora Dean's use of "hottest" rendered the song "morally objectionable" and thus could not be used protected by copyright.
As for the case you mentioned, the argument used in the original ruling was the "unclean hands" doctrine.
You also have some people invoke Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the Constitution arguing that since "pornography doesn't 'progress the science nor useful arts'", that excludes it from protections.

I should start doing this.

Also if you thought the 877k wage payout was funny (for 2 employees) then in 2022 they cleared 1.17M. (and we can assume that they sub-contracted themselves in 2024 for 3.4M, as earlier years the material/services costs stayed within 2-20k, with the exception of "misc. costs" that were between 5-400k in the last 4 years).

Yeah, looking into it more, copyright apparently does apply, but the court rulings on it over the centuries have been about as consistent as Yu-Gi-Oh tournament judge rulings.

From what I've read, copyright originally started as a form of censorship. It was originally an exclusive right to copy books via printing press granted by British monarchy, as they feared what freedom of information could do with the newfangled printing press. Over time, copyright evolved into something sacred to a number of deviantART users...

Has Turkey ever provided anything of value to the world? Even the Kebab is something they stole from the Greeks like most things Turkey claims.

I continue to ask. What is the point of, and why do we bother having a world wide web?

Bring back the White Wide Web.
We're moving to Geocities.

Same thing with the Lanham Act. Started as a way to prevent people from filling bottles of mud and urine and labelling it as Coca-Cola. However, over the years, it evolved to the point that Hangover II got sued over a fake Louis Vuitton handbag (despite the film never trying to pass it off as a real Louis Vuitton and was to show the character was an idiot for buying a clearly fake Louis Vuitton handbag.. IP law sure is interesting and I fucking hate it.

report them to the turkroach irs for tax evasion

Since it is registered in Estonia, wouldn't it make more sense to report them to the Estonian irs for tax evasion?

If Null's random tard rage ends up with them suddenly oweing millions in back taxes to Estonia I will absolutely lose my shit because they deserve it.

I really doubt that they are doing something outright illegal. They don't pay workforce taxes since none of them are Estonian residents, they'd be paying those in Turkey instead. Sub-contracting is also nothing illegal, it's tax optimization (not evasion) 101. EMTA is a relatively competent agency, they'd need a really good local bookkeeper to cook the books. Currently their bookkeeper is some guy called Lennart Lundve (https://ariregister.rik.ee/eng/company/16017422/Lundve-OÜ), unless you can find him hanging out with the Turks it's most likely some random guy they found to do their paperwork.

I opened the site for the first time. The revenues seem plausible, given that according to them they serve 4764 pornographists and at max rate they charge 3k per year. That would give them an annual revenue of 14M minus 22% VAT (ofc most of them are on the lower-tier, but the numbers kinda check out).
