SoylentNews is people

TheMukt reports:

Over the last few days we have seen increased activity on the nightly changelogs which suggest [CyanogenMod has] incorporated a call recording feature into its most recent nightlies. Generally speaking call recording is largely considered very grey in terms of the law and as such it seems CM is not offering this feature as a direct and obvious feature.

Instead what we are seeing is the call recording setting can be activated by the user but does require a little bit of knowledge. This presumably is a way for CM to avoid any direct law breaking. So to be accurate CM [is] now offering support for call recording although not the feature directly.

    Don't be hypocrites with downloaded songs and videos.

    Your analogy doesn't work for a couple of reasons, chief of which is that the MAFIAA don't provide free access to movies and music on their own. For example, there is no place you can go to legally watch the new Godzilla movie for free, yet everything that pipedot has taken is available right here for free.

    People will like to support SoylentNews if they see they are the producers.

    They can't. Not only does pipedot not provide source attribution, they registered a look-a-like domain, soylent-news.org, to use instead.

    This is all about spreading news and not about faking school works.

    Uh no, it is about people and building a community. If it were about "spreading news" there are a thousand other websites they could scrape.

    This kind of attitude inside of SoylentNews is also hurting SoylentNews and will probably make some moving over to Pipedot.

    That's a stretch. PIpedot is trying to suck the marrow out of the community here without contributing anything in return. If that sort of one-sided behavior actually appeals to anyone then let them go, nobody is stopping them. But I doubt there will be more than a handful who see it that way.

    Yes, they provide source. There is a big yellow box saying clearly from where the source is. When you plagiarize you do not even provide the source. Open up story originating from SN and you will see that yellow box.

    However, I agree that they should not have made an own domain name for the comments. That is just strange.

      That wasn't there a couple of hours ago.
