Look, guys! The TLDR bot is stealing!

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeps. The same way when my coworkers talk about sports ball without the expressed permission of multiple corporations.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Impressive that your coworkers discuss the events exclusively by recalling 60% of the announcer's words and then quoting them verbatim.

I am almost afraid to go down this rabbit hole but I have no idea what you are talking about.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I got the math the wrong way around but read the bottom of the bot's post. The bot's job is to cut the fluff out of articles, and it copy/pastes the remaining text for us to read here.

So my comment should have said 40%, but the point was if we're comparing what the bot did with your coworkers talking about a game, it'd be more akin to them reciting the commentator verbatim.

I thought that even discussing the game without the express permission of the media company you used to watch and the sports league was a violation. Not sure why you are bringing commentary on commentary in it. Again not a sports ball guy but when I do hear people talk about sports they are talking about sports not the person talkimg about sports.

In what country are you not allowed to talk about something you watched
