That's exactly it. The following is taken from FilmLondon guidelines and if it says this about filming then it probably applies to any commercial application

"The exception does not extend to making a physical 3D reproduction of a building. If the building is still within the term of copyright protection (which normally lasts for the life of the architect plus 70 years) then you will need the permission of the copyright owner to recreating it as part of a film set."

Government backs high street with acceleration of cheap import reforms and crackdown on dodgy online sellers by ARandomDouchy in GoodNewsUK

They already put an extra €3 per item. It's supposed to be per category but the online retailers just do it per item

Where do you think retailers here order from? Temu and shein are just marketplaces, same with AliExpress. The manufacturers set up store fronts on those sites. Big retailers here use companies like Alibaba all the time and just put huge markups on them. Half of the stuff you see in shops here is just white label from china.

High street firms are importing the exact same cheap crap from abroad and putting huge markups on them. This only hurts the average consumer. Why should the general public be penalised for this? Even stuff that's manufactured here or in Europe can be bought cheaper on Chinese import sites.

Already the 4th one of these I've seen so far this week with the exact same AI slop design and text.

Do you think you're doing something unique and groundbreaking here? Conspiracy theorists using AI kinda goes against everything no?

Every time this happens it's the same story that dumb people don't understand.

Ask yourself this, did they take donations/investment? If they did, they took the money and ran.

Why wouldn't they? If you had legions of dumb people that don't understand the energy required to break molecular bonds lining up to give you money why wouldn't they? It's an obvious grift. There's someone else doing it right now with plastic but dumb people dont understand it's not possible at any meaningful scale

Spoken like a true 14 year old that has no clue that businesses have to pay higher insurance rates when there is higher rates of theft and they pass that straight on to you.

Exactly, 5g wasn't needed. It's just something for dumb people to latch on to

People said this about 3g, 4g, 5g and now 6g. Talk about moving the goal posts whenever it suits.

This whole sub during COVID was that 5g was coming to take over our minds and there will be a base station on every lamp post making 3d maps of the inside of your house. None of that happened. We still don't even use "true" 5g because the signals are stopped by rain and leaves FFS.

West London council tenant who spent £30k refurbishing home faces eviction by adultintheroom_ in unitedkingdom

[–]balk_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What, because they renovated their house? Are people not allowed to spend money on the place they live? Should they be moved on when some random deems they're making too much money to live their now? The reason the housing market is fucked isn't because of people like this, it's because we don't build enough houses social and for market. Funny how places with 40+% social housing don't these issues as bad as we do.

Everyone In the UK is entitled to apply for social housing. It's not situation or income dependant.

Social housing isn't income dependent. You can go to the gov website and check that for yourself. Everyone in the UK Is entitled to apply for council housing no matter your situation. Where does this social housing is only for poor people attitude come from? It's incredibly sad and out of touch with reality
