Forget copyright strikes, a retro gaming YouTuber faces possible jail time for reviewing gaming handhelds

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-12 18:51:56

TL;DR Retro gaming YouTuber Once Were Nerd has been sued and raided by the Italian government. Consoles were seized and channels may be closed for promoting piracy of copyrighted material. Some of these devices ship with pre-loaded ROMs, which appears to be the source of the complaint. While gaming content continues to grow and thrive on video platforms like Twitch and YouTube, copyright remains a sticky issue. Most companies look the other way when it comes to game streaming, but emulation i

What's Happening to Reading?

news.ycombinator.com Joshua Rothman 2025-08-09 17:16:48

What do you read, and why? A few decades ago, these weren’t urgent questions. Reading was an unremarkable activity, essentially unchanged since the advent of the modern publishing industry, in the nineteenth century. In a 2017 Shouts & Murmurs titled “Before the Internet,” the writer Emma Rathbone captured the spirit of reading as it used to be: “Before the Internet, you could laze around on a park bench in Chicago reading some Dean Koontz, and that would be a legit thing to do and no one would

AI has taken the programming world by storm, with a flurry of speculation about the tech replacing human coders, and Google's CEO recently claiming that 25 percent of the company's code is now AI-generated.
