Has Stacker.news ever been forced (or requested even) to do a DMCA take-down / copyright violation whatever it is known as?
It's hard to know what's still fair use when quoting from an article, ... when the article is only about a paragraph in length.
Just like with Reddit posts, sometimes the comments have better info than the article that the post links to. So why read the article? Especially if all the goods from the article are already found in the SN post's comments?
SN will cause contributors wanting to earn sats to seek the nuggets in the articles and put them in the replies. These are the nuggets that the online media sources specifically hide in their Tweets and in their article titles because they want the user to click.
When this is found with Reddit posts replies it is mostly only occurring because someone wants to quote something to add a comment reply to. But SN provides incentive for someone to do article content copy pasta simply as a method of earning. Will an "SNer" be a new career option? Or will SN give incentive for some smarties to build AI bots that do it better and faster?
This question made me think that maybe @k00b could consider putting on a canary in the cases where he's forced to do something by the authorities that can't be shared. E.g. this is what Samourai does: https://samouraiwallet.com/canary

@ODELL has short canary section on the bottom here too: https://mattodell.keybase.pub/

No takedown notices yet.
I can't imagine this happens too often in the text-based world.
To @nout's point though, I could make a canary.

People will always copy, but finding the valuable content in a long article is fair use IMO.

That's one of our goals. There will probably be a ton of iteration before we get close though. At the very least, I want users to be able to pay their internet bill by being valuable to the community.

Bots would be awesome.
