I don’t know the text of CIPA so I’m not sure how they define transcript or if it differs from a more temporary record for operational purposes. But yeah, as written it seems like they need to get explicit consent to keep chat logs.

1. I never said they weren’t using encryption on their service, I said that Gamestop was being accused of sharing user data with them, and using plaintext as a metaphor to explain the difference between data on their service vs. data being shared directly with them.

California wiretapping law is in the state penal code section 631, and applies to people who:

“I work with data for a living. You’re incorrect.”

There is a huge difference between carrying data between sender and recipient (which is all a helpdesk software should be doing) and having the company licensing the software secretly sharing that data with the licensor.

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that you possessed superhuman divination abilities that allowed you to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Zendesk is only providing the platform and is not receiving the data from Gamestop, as alleged. If only all people were gifted with such powers of acuity, we would have no use for…

All too often this site posts real stories about small companies getting ripped off.

Isn’t this all beside the point? Didn’t Elon explicitly forego due diligence?

Honestly, I’m inclined to think that he does understand but doesn’t care, and his idiot fans may understand or not but just go along with what he’s saying. In any case, they don’t actually care about the games or the creators, they care about flipping whatever they have for a profit. When the games were pulled from…

Yeah,  he seems to not understand how “open source” software works or how licensing works with open source code.  Not a surprise since these NFT bros don’t seem to understand how IP laws work either 

I have a vague understanding of the tech, but what do you mean the game will now 'live forever in the blockchain'? Am I misunderstanding what is stored in an NFT beyond transaction details? 

Pretty telling that his approach was to just check the license on itch.io, not contact the creator at all, and even renamed one of the games (from “Galactic Wars” to “Rogue Fleet”). He knew that if the creators knew what he was doing, they wouldn’t allow it, so he just tried to keep them from finding out.

Yeah, the Nifty guy is a huge asshole. He spent lots of time trying to say that the games were all open source so he could do whatever he wanted with them. But even if that was true (it wasn’t) the license for the PICO-8 player, which he also distributed as part of the NFTs because it’s part of the game web player…

The Knights Who Say NFT?

I’m just here for the usual, frothing at the mouth NFT knights

Also, just because Gamestop says they aren’t responsible for verifying rights of the NFT’s they totally are, they’re enabling the sale of them and they can be held liable.

Starting with flagrant fraud and theft right out the door just proves this is a real Web3 operation! HODL!

…earned only an estimated $44,500…

Well, exponential decay and exponential growth are kind of the same thing.
