OMG. Every other post is saying their disgusted about the images part but it's a grey area, but he's definitely in trouble for contacting a minor.
Cartoon CSAM is illegal in the United States. AI images of CSAM fall into that category. It was illegal for him to make the images in the first place BEFORE he started sending them to a minor.

Currently, we do not outlaw written depictions nor drawings of child sexual abuse

Cartoon CSAM is illegal in the United States. Pretty sure the judges will throw his images under the same ruling.

Bare minimum idea: have a sticky post on all the forums reminding people that PSN accounts will be required in 6 months. Maybe a little sticky note after you load up the game that goes away after you link.
Leaving it till now was kinda not the best possible choice.
@TheHooligan95@lemmy.dbzer0.com Lol. Torrenting is sharing. And for now you haven't been visited, but I'm certain Hollywood will pay a visit to your local enforcer chief to explain to him the technicalities over fine wine & dinner.
The risk is still there. Keep your share ratios to 3 so you don't look like a big problem as @Melkath@kbin.social put it. And when you get a letter from somebody complaining, it's time to start looking into a VPN.
The second best thing to do is your own research into your country's laws, and subscribing to e-mail alerts so you can know if the law will change. At least a google alert at a minimum.
Does nobody use the god given Repository of all human knowledge?
There are privacy issues that still have not been addressed as of 2023:

Hi Anth0rx, yes — I’ve looked into all of them. Here are some hot-takes:
Loginet is just a front for a cryptocurrency. It’s decentralized but not distributed. It’s primary purpose is to selling you hot air, though.
I2P can only talk to other I2P users. There are far from enough users on it to reliably use it for P2P. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, it just never reached critical mass. The set-up process is probably too complicated for most potential users.
GNUnet has been “fixing the internet” for literally two decades. They‘ve yet to deliver anything. The software download pages clearly warns that it’s still “not yet ready”. It’s an interesting project, but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

The project change log does not indicate any work on any of the things discussed in this article. I might revisit this after the next beta release.
Because up to now it's still a site where you can go talk to actual people. This value was preserved not intentionally it seems.
Lets see how that holds up if half the people are AI bots now.
Different purposes. Tor was intended so you could access the real web anonymously.
I2p the whole thing is an anonymous web. Everybody is a node. Tracing a packet never ends because you can't be sure you found the origin of the packet. Which only gets worse the longer somebody remains connected to i2p. And it even can handle torrenting, a torrent client is built in.
I2P sadly gets a lot less funding/support.
i2p or tor addresses. Which aren't popular because it's hard for both admin & user.
The Internet Archive is doubling down on its position that its digital lending library service operates under the bounds of fair use. Major publishers assert that digitizing books without appropriate licensing amounts to infringement but IA counters that the practice is in the public interest. It also fits copyright's ultimate purpose; to promote the broad public availability of literature and other arts.
The Premier League wants domain registrar GoDaddy to identify people connected to dozen of pirate sports streaming domains that broadcast live football matches. The information, including IP-addresses and payment information, could assist with enforcement efforts. In addition, the Premier League would like GoDaddy to take action against these infringements but, as far as we know, that hasn't happened yet.
Artistic CSAM is definitely a crime in the United States. PROTECT act of 2003.
