Hello and welcome to a new edition of the digression.
|
|
|
0:00:19 – 0:00:26
Where I sometimes deviate from the topic.
|
|
|
0:00:26 – 0:00:30
I'm Sascha Markmann and I say hello.
|
|
|
0:00:30 – 0:00:39
Yes, today's topic is, I have been or will be warned.
|
|
|
0:00:39 – 0:00:43
Because of copyright infringement.
|
|
|
0:00:43 – 0:00:53
I'm not aware of any guilt, but he thinks so.
|
|
|
0:00:53 – 0:01:03
And it all comes from the Austrian company @Simple.
|
|
|
0:01:03 – 0:01:08
They have an imprint and a data protection generator.
|
|
|
0:01:08 – 0:01:14
In order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation,
|
|
|
0:01:14 – 0:01:24
You have to be on a side that isn't just static and doesn't do anything great.
|
|
|
0:01:24 – 0:01:29
but offers a bit of interactivity that you can write comments,
|
|
|
0:01:29 – 0:01:35
Something like a podcast or something.
|
|
|
0:01:35 – 0:01:46
There you have to list the things that happen to the data of the users.
|
|
|
0:01:46 – 0:01:55
And I had dealt with it at the launch of 2018
|
|
|
0:01:55 – 0:02:02
and I think I've used that from iRecht24
|
|
|
0:02:02 – 0:02:10
And I've expanded the stop, because not everything is in the free area.
|
|
|
0:02:10 – 0:02:17
And that's where I got inspired by other privacy statements
|
|
|
0:02:17 – 0:02:22
And maybe, I don't know, I copied something from here and there together.
|
|
|
0:02:22 – 0:02:29
So guaranteed to the area blog, nee podcast above all,
|
|
|
0:02:29 – 0:02:39
I copied the parts of the PodLoft Publisher together with it.
|
|
|
0:02:39 – 0:02:42
I definitely know that.
|
|
|
0:02:42 – 0:02:50
And I have something else for the implementation of Steady,
|
|
|
0:02:50 – 0:02:57
to complete subscriptions to support.
|
|
|
0:02:57 – 0:03:03
And for donations via Paypal.
|
|
|
0:03:03 – 0:03:06
Yes, yes.
|
|
|
0:03:06 – 0:03:10
But I really don't know where I got this,
|
|
|
0:03:10 – 0:03:15
Whether I've got it straight from Steady or somewhere else.
|
|
|
0:03:15 – 0:03:29
I don't want to be silent at all, so say that I haven't violated anything now,
|
|
|
0:03:29 – 0:03:33
But the way it is.
|
|
|
0:03:33 – 0:03:38
The company had written to me at the e-mail address,
|
|
|
0:03:38 – 0:03:43
which is indicated in the pressum under the privacy policy.
|
|
|
0:03:43 – 0:03:48
This is an address that is only given there.
|
|
|
0:03:48 – 0:03:51
And that's why I know they were there.
|
|
|
0:03:51 – 0:03:59
And when I go into the statistics, I see that from Austria,
|
|
|
0:03:59 – 0:04:06
Speak to the country where AdSimple is located,
|
|
|
0:04:06 – 0:04:17
there were explicit accesses to the imprint and the data protection declaration.
|
|
|
0:04:17 – 0:04:21
Now all this is not so that I can understand exactly,
|
|
|
0:04:21 – 0:04:24
IP addresses are anonymized.
|
|
|
0:04:24 – 0:04:29
But on the whole, you know when you run your own websites,
|
|
|
0:04:29 – 0:04:37
That's the country of origin, that it's not a witchcraft, that you can see it.
|
|
|
0:04:37 – 0:04:43
And if you just installed something like Jetpack for statistics,
|
|
|
0:04:43 – 0:04:47
Then it just shows up. This will be broken down.
|
|
|
0:04:47 – 0:04:53
In any case, they made me the offer,
|
|
|
0:04:53 – 0:04:58
If I pay $499, I'll have to sign up for a subscription.
|
|
|
0:04:58 – 0:05:06
In the case of those, or the lifetime license, then that would be done.
|
|
|
0:05:06 – 0:05:15
Everyone who follows the podcast knows that I don't have the financial options.
|
|
|
0:05:15 – 0:05:21
Otherwise I would not ask for support of the project Lautfunk
|
|
|
0:05:21 – 0:05:31
I would ask you to support these projects.
|
|
|
0:05:31 – 0:05:38
Like Lautfunk, the rehearsal podcast and all the formats, which are all there.
|
|
|
0:05:38 – 0:05:46
I wrote it there, so I replied.
|
|
|
0:05:46 – 0:05:51
Thank you for pointing out that there was a copyright infringement.
|
|
|
0:05:51 – 0:05:55
But I don't know where and how.
|
|
|
0:05:55 – 0:06:03
And since 2018, I have no more memories of where I got the stuff from.
|
|
|
0:06:03 – 0:06:07
And most importantly, I don't have the financial means to do so.
|
|
|
0:06:07 – 0:06:13
The people who haunt me know I had a stroke in 2016
|
|
|
0:06:13 – 0:06:18
I have not been able to work since then.
|
|
|
0:06:18 – 0:06:27
And anyone who has a bit of a clue and knows that you have a stroke when you're 40,
|
|
|
0:06:27 – 0:06:40
or at almost 40, then it is so that one does not get a high incapacity pension,
|
|
|
0:06:40 – 0:06:48
It is at the same level as a citizen benefit recipient.
|
|
|
0:06:48 – 0:06:54
I don't want to complain about it now, it was a blatant change.
|
|
|
0:06:54 – 0:07:00
Anyone can imagine that if you've worked full-time before.
|
|
|
0:07:00 – 0:07:09
and still on weekends and in his free time for the DRC in the medical service
|
|
|
0:07:09 – 0:07:16
or in the rescue service, that one has become accustomed to a certain standard of living.
|
|
|
0:07:16 – 0:07:24
And if you have so little money, you have to get used to it.
|
|
|
0:07:24 – 0:07:33
And I had just chosen my hobby, because before I worked in the fly,
|
|
|
0:07:33 – 0:07:40
I have also worked in computer science and computer science.
|
|
|
0:07:40 – 0:07:46
And that's when I offered to do a webpresenter woman and then a project,
|
|
|
0:07:46 – 0:07:52
It's all about blogging, video content, podcasts.
|
|
|
0:07:52 – 0:08:00
Because I found this a good exercise for motor skills, for fine motor skills with the writing
|
|
|
0:08:00 – 0:08:07
and above all speaking, free speech in front of the microphone or in front of the camera.
|
|
|
0:08:07 – 0:08:12
And this has enriched my life improbably, because I suddenly had a task,
|
|
|
0:08:12 – 0:08:22
where I could also give something back by sharing my thoughts, my experiences, feelings.
|
|
|
0:08:22 – 0:08:27
Now I'm in a situation where I have to deal with something like that all of a sudden.
|
|
|
0:08:27 – 0:08:37
As I found out after a short research, this is currently happening again.
|
|
|
0:08:37 – 0:08:47
In the past, this company used to warn people directly with a warning lawyer from a law firm in Munich.
|
|
|
0:08:47 – 0:08:52
The amount was a bit higher, so about 2500 euros.
|
|
|
0:08:52 – 0:09:01
Of course, the 500 Euro roundabout is now a cheap offer, but I can't do that.
|
|
|
0:09:01 – 0:09:07
And so I wrote to the company, described the whole situation, I just said,
|
|
|
0:09:07 – 0:09:13
And I got it, yeah that's good and beautiful, but they offer a service and now they have to.
|
|
|
0:09:13 – 0:09:19
Then I wrote back to them that they would like to explain to me,
|
|
|
0:09:19 – 0:09:26
what service I offer and where I have made the copyright infringement.
|
|
|
0:09:26 – 0:09:33
As a result, there were again a lot of accesses to the privacy policy and the imprint.
|
|
|
0:09:33 – 0:09:43
What I have changed in the meantime, I have simplified the texts.
|
|
|
0:09:43 – 0:09:53
I know that this is no longer one hundred percent legally certain, because lawyers' German is a language in itself,
|
|
|
0:09:53 – 0:10:02
which should be comprehensible and exclude any contingencies,
|
|
|
0:10:02 – 0:10:12
However, this does not necessarily make it easier and more comprehensible due to the complexity and nesting of the sentences.
|
|
|
0:10:12 – 0:10:19
At least for me and this impression I have,
|
|
|
0:10:19 – 0:10:29
that these complex sentence structures do not necessarily make a text more comprehensible or easy to read.
|
|
|
0:10:29 – 0:10:36
So I simplified everything a bit and said, in this and the case I need the data,
|
|
|
0:10:36 – 0:10:48
to do this and that and the legitimate interest exists according to paragraph anyway General Data Protection Regulation blablabla.
|
|
|
0:10:48 – 0:10:56
So the violation should no longer exist and well, now let's wait and see what comes next.
|
|
|
0:10:56 – 0:11:00
Because as I wrote in my email,
|
|
|
0:11:00 – 0:11:06
if you have ever tried to figuratively put a naked man in your pocket,
|
|
|
0:11:06 – 0:11:10
I don't have the money and I won't have the money.
|
|
|
0:11:10 – 0:11:19
And should the company come up with the idea of admonishing me now for a fee with a lawyer,
|
|
|
0:11:19 – 0:11:26
I will not be able to pay the court costs that may arise.
|
|
|
0:11:26 – 0:11:34
And I won't be able to do that in 30 years, because if I already have a mini-reduction pension,
|
|
|
0:11:34 – 0:11:44
In the future, even if I get into the normal old-age pension at some point, I will also get a mini old-age pension.
|
|
|
0:11:44 – 0:11:52
And will always be at the level of a benefit recipient.
|
|
|
0:11:52 – 0:12:00
That's okay for me, so I've arranged to live a low-level life.
|
|
|
0:12:00 – 0:12:11
But it's really cruel and brutal that companies come and try
|
|
|
0:12:11 – 0:12:16
to demand something for a supposedly free offer in retrospect,
|
|
|
0:12:16 – 0:12:22
because they're super tiny somewhere hidden in the fine print on the side,
|
|
|
0:12:22 – 0:12:25
You have to tell the source where it came from.
|
|
|
0:12:25 – 0:12:32
I really think it's a bad business.
|
|
|
0:12:32 – 0:12:40
Because if I go to the side of iRecht24 to give just one example,
|
|
|
0:12:40 – 0:12:53
then this is clearly communicated, because this is automatically in the HTML code or in the normal view
|
|
|
0:12:53 – 0:12:58
is already attached, below where the source is.
|
|
|
0:12:58 – 0:13:06
And if you copy the code or even the text, then that's it.
|
|
|
0:13:06 – 0:13:10
And it is also pointed out that one must indicate the source.
|
|
|
0:13:10 – 0:13:16
This is not the case with @Sample.
|
|
|
0:13:16 – 0:13:22
They're doing it, but they're hiding it.
|
|
|
0:13:22 – 0:13:29
And it is also not automatically inserted below the source where you got the texts.
|
|
|
0:13:29 – 0:13:33
And that's really deceitful for me.
|
|
|
0:13:33 – 0:13:40
Yes, now I have the problem that I'm just sitting here and don't know,
|
|
|
0:13:40 – 0:13:43
What will be added to me in the future.
|
|
|
0:13:43 – 0:13:54
Because there could possibly be something else that will be expensive.
|
|
|
0:13:54 – 0:13:59
It's not that after my stroke and the time I was in sick pay,
|
|
|
0:13:59 – 0:14:06
then in unemployment benefit 2, until I had then all this through
|
|
|
0:14:06 – 0:14:10
and for a while, because I have also lived with a man,
|
|
|
0:14:10 – 0:14:17
who was employed, then could make a community of needs,
|
|
|
0:14:17 – 0:14:23
where one then compulsorily demands that the partner also makes himself naked,
|
|
|
0:14:23 – 0:14:27
Although there is no marriage or other obligation,
|
|
|
0:14:27 – 0:14:32
but only because you live together with a woman in a household,
|
|
|
0:14:32 – 0:14:39
is forced that this person then also makes himself naked in front of the state,
|
|
|
0:14:39 – 0:14:43
Until then, the invalidity pension was there.
|
|
|
0:14:43 – 0:14:50
There were a lot of medical reports at the job center,
|
|
|
0:14:50 – 0:14:54
Then later from the pension fund.
|
|
|
0:14:54 – 0:14:59
So much paper has been produced and this is such a lengthy process.
|
|
|
0:14:59 – 0:15:04
And until the stop is approved and if you look at the statistics
|
|
|
0:15:04 – 0:15:09
and see that with 1000 applications, maybe 200 will go through,
|
|
|
0:15:09 – 0:15:16
You can see how broken I have to be to make this happen.
|
|
|
0:15:16 – 0:15:23
And then a company like that arrives and says, yes, we don't care.
|
|
|
0:15:23 – 0:15:28
We want our money.
|
|
|
0:15:28 – 0:15:33
I used an intro from one side.
|
|
|
0:15:33 – 0:15:38
who made music available free of charge,
|
|
|
0:15:38 – 0:15:44
where someone wrote to me, you, the intro, that's not free.
|
|
|
0:15:44 – 0:15:47
I put it on the internet, but not for free.
|
|
|
0:15:47 – 0:15:48
Where did you get that?
|
|
|
0:15:48 – 0:15:51
Then I went to the page where I downloaded it.
|
|
|
0:15:51 – 0:15:55
He said, okay, I didn't do that.
|
|
|
0:15:55 – 0:15:58
Someone else collected the music from other people.
|
|
|
0:15:58 – 0:16:04
He then published it under his name.
|
|
|
0:16:04 – 0:16:07
I was able to agree with this person,
|
|
|
0:16:07 – 0:16:10
I want to make a name.
|
|
|
0:16:10 – 0:16:14
And then it was eaten for him.
|
|
|
0:16:14 – 0:16:18
So it was under every podcast episode where the intro was,
|
|
|
0:16:18 – 0:16:23
That the intro music is from this and that and that can be found here and there.
|
|
|
0:16:23 – 0:16:30
And even with me, I also made music, for a while also serious,
|
|
|
0:16:30 – 0:16:35
I've already had that there was copyright abuse.
|
|
|
0:16:35 – 0:16:39
But I could always agree with people.
|
|
|
0:16:39 – 0:16:43
Or with other things as well. Texts were used by me.
|
|
|
0:16:43 – 0:16:47
Pictures of me were used.
|
|
|
0:16:47 – 0:16:51
And every time I could agree with the people.
|
|
|
0:16:51 – 0:16:56
You write down who that is, then it's good.
|
|
|
0:16:56 – 0:16:59
If they had written to me now, they would have said,
|
|
|
0:16:59 – 0:17:04
You use something, either you pay or you take it out.
|
|
|
0:17:04 – 0:17:10
Or you do the naming, you name where you got the sections from.
|
|
|
0:17:10 – 0:17:14
It's not an issue. I'd do it right away.
|
|
|
0:17:14 – 0:17:20
But it wasn't like that. It came immediately, pay 500 euros and is good.
|
|
|
0:17:20 – 0:17:32
And that's, that looks to me like Scheme F and money farms on the Internet.
|
|
|
0:17:32 – 0:17:39
This warning situation has now been such a business model.
|
|
|
0:17:39 – 0:17:45
And I see that in people who create content for the Internet,
|
|
|
0:17:45 – 0:17:55
that video creators on YouTube or on Twitch remind each other,
|
|
|
0:17:55 – 0:18:04
because you can add a user avatar to a section of a chat history
|
|
|
0:18:04 – 0:18:13
or a thread on Twitter or formerly Twitter now X or on Facebook.
|
|
|
0:18:13 – 0:18:18
I mean, who uses Facebook except old people?
|
|
|
0:18:18 – 0:18:22
Oh, I'm old. Okay.
|
|
|
0:18:22 – 0:18:28
or other social media platforms,
|
|
|
0:18:28 – 0:18:34
You can see this avatar halfway.
|
|
|
0:18:34 – 0:18:39
And that's not even toxing the person or anything like that,
|
|
|
0:18:39 – 0:18:43
but one could only see the little picture, the tiny little picture,
|
|
|
0:18:43 – 0:18:48
Which isn't much bigger than the letters, you could see.
|
|
|
0:18:48 – 0:18:55
And then someone was warned and there was even a copyright infringement.
|
|
|
0:18:55 – 0:19:00
And now we're at a point where I'm really wondering,
|
|
|
0:19:00 – 0:19:06
If you are already a private person who is advertising on the Internet,
|
|
|
0:19:06 – 0:19:13
Duel with lawyers, what has become of our world?
|
|
|
0:19:13 – 0:19:18
I can still remember times when it was personally clarified
|
|
|
0:19:18 – 0:19:21
Not by lawyer.
|
|
|
0:19:21 – 0:19:27
It was another episode where I drifted away, but not so much.
|
|
|
0:19:27 – 0:19:32
A few small anecdotes, but by and large not much.
|
|
|
0:19:32 – 0:19:38
Excuse me for pointing out so many times that I can be supported.
|
|
|
0:19:38 – 0:19:40
That was important for the explanation.
|
|
|
0:19:40 – 0:19:46
Otherwise, I'm not doing great, point out.
|
|
|
0:19:46 – 0:19:55
If you go to the website or even in the feed, you can read that and that's enough, right?
|
|
|
0:19:55 – 0:19:59
Thank you for listening to me and I hope
|
|

Description:
In this episode of ‘Digression’, Sascha Markmann tells how he is confronted with a warning about an alleged copyright infringement. The Austrian generator for data protection texts, which he used, demands a large sum for licensing, although he is not aware of any guilt. Sascha describes how he used parts of various privacy generators in 2018 to legally secure his website and podcast, and is now facing an unexpected problem. He explains why he is unable to pay the required 499 euros and reflects on his financial challenges since his stroke in 2016. The questionable practice of such warnings, which affect many creative people on the net, is also discussed. Sascha gives deep insights into his everyday life, which he masters with a lot of passion and commitment for his projects despite the financial and health challenges. This episode takes the listener on an emotional and at the same time informative journey into the legal grey areas of the Internet. Sascha remains true to his motto and occasionally deviates from the topic – in the best ‘digression’ manner.
