    It does indeed outside of the united IP holders of america.

    In the free world, you can record any tv or radio program that is freely available for your personal consumption.

    Welcome to the actual land of the free.

    Edit: answering another comment of yours. You can absolutely repost the twitter, reddit and whatnot post of anyone. It is paywalled stuff that you are not allowed to share.

        Thanks for elaborating. The obvious flaw in this logic is that even the most original thing brings both the platform and the writer the visibility. Assuming you‘re knowledgeable and technically correct, this would always be unenforceable because it is the whole purpose of the platform to retweet, cite and repost.

        I‘m not too knowledgeable in IP law or the local US court proceedings but where I live, your EULA/TOS become null and void if you put the customer at a disadvantage. Having this damocles sword dangling above their heads would most likely not hold in court (retweet = visibility but technically against TOS)

      How is reposting content to another social media platform with over a million users “personal consumption”?

        Thats not what I said. I was answering to this:

        Does that mean every TV show broadcast over the air, every song on the radio, and every book in a public library is now “free” to pirate on the Internet because they were made publicly available?

        The answer to that is yes, at least if you‘re not living in a corpo hellscape.

        How is that any different from content from user@smallinstance.mastodon being followed by a single individual from mastodon.social?
